Nikki Webster
Nicole Marie Webster (born 30 April 1987) is an Australian pop singer. She is best known for her role in performing at both the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics opening ceremony, and the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics closing ceremony as well for her song "Strawberry Kisses", which made number 21 on the list of Top 25 singles in Australia released in 2001.
Webster was born on 30 April 1987, to parents Tina and Mark Webster in Sydney, New South Wales. At a young age, she told her parents that she wanted to go into show business, so she started taking lessons. She attended MLC School in Burwood until year 10 and then attended the McDonald College of Performing Arts in Sydney.
Webster's first acting role was as part of the ensemble cast in the pantomime Cinderella at the State theatre in Sydney, at the age of five. The production starred Jo Beth Taylor as Cinderella, Nancye Hayes as the Fairy Godmother, Lochie Daddo as the Prince, Bert Newton as The Baron, and Bruce Spence and Paul Blackwell as the Ugly Step-sisters. The following year she appeared in a production of Aladdin.
Webster appeared in television commercials including Twisties, Lay's chips and Campbell's Soup. At 10 years old, Webster played the Young Cosette in Les Misérables, and in 1999–2000 starred as Brigitta Von Trapp in a stage production of The Sound of Music, alongside Lisa McCune, John Waters and Bert Newton.
In March 2000, Webster auditioned for an unknown part in the 2000 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. In August, following an elimination process, she was told by opening ceremony artistic director and producer David Atkins that the role was hers.
At the age of 13, Webster played a major part in the opening ceremony, portraying the "Hero Girl" who was lifted above the stadium to simulate swimming among sea creatures, and then performing the song "Under Southern Skies". She also performed "We'll Be One" at the closing ceremony.
Webster signed a contract with BMG at the age of 13, after her success at the Olympics, and her first single "Strawberry Kisses" reached No. 2 on the Australian singles charts in 2001, holding the position for 7 weeks. Her debut album, Follow Your Heart, also went platinum, with the second single, "Depend on Me", going top 20, while the third single, "The Best Days"/"Over the Rainbow", reached No. 21. She also starred as Dorothy in an Australian stage performance of The Wizard of Oz, which ran between 2001 and 2002. Webster was nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Selling album and she won a John O'Keefe Encouragement Award at the 2001 Mo Awards.
Webster's 2002 BLISS album also went gold with a cover of American girl group P.Y.T.'s "Something More Beautiful" reaching No. 13 and going gold, while the second single "24/7 (Crazy 'bout Your Smile)" also reached the top 20.
