Nikki Webster’s Strawberry Kisses was the song of the tournament within Matildas camp and when the squad was presented to the Brisbane public, the iconic Australian singer joined them to belt out the banger.
Nikki Webster was just 13 when she shot to fame in the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and released Strawberry Kisses just one year later. While it might feel like just yesterday, it’s been more than 22 years and now Nikki is celebrating another milestone, seeing her youngest child start school in 2023. Nikki is marking the occasion with an adorable music video aptly titled Starting School featuring her children Malakai and Skylah.
Photos of Nikki performing at Christmas Under the Stars have been added to the gallery.
Performing is hard work. Hard enough as an adult, but how does facing the music industry as a child change the way you grow up? Nikki Webster opens up to Turia Pitt on the decisions she had to make as a young performer, and how she’s built her life and career since then on Turia’s quest to find out what we learn from doing hard things.
I’m so excited to announce that my brother Scott and I have just released a children’s book!
Inspired by one of our longest and dearest friends, Ben Weekes, it is the story of a young girl who dreams big and overcomes challenges to reach her goals, thanks to her passion and perseverance.
We hope Dare to Dream brings joy and inspiration to all those who read it! ❤ – Nikki Webster
