You might not be familiar with this young lady (left), nor will you have seen her name popping up in the ARIA charts before, but with big thanks to a little sync on a Channel 9 promo, Jes Hudak has been fast climbing the iTunes singles chart over the past couple of weeks.
The track (‘Different Worlds’) has now climbed so far that it’s sitting just outside the top ten here in Australia – at No.13 as we publish the story.
It’s been a long and winding road for the New York State based singer. She released her first album while still in her mid teens, was the back-up singer for Enrique Iglesias on a North American tour, joined the Lilith Fair and began winning industry accolades and awards.
An appearance on Bravo’s songwriting reality show ‘Platinum Hit’ showcased her talents even further and from there, her star has shone brightly.
Her single ‘Different Worlds’, recorded with George Krikes, has been utilised heavily in the lead up to the premiere of Channel 9’s ‘The Voice’ this Sunday night.
It remains to be seen how high it will climb, or, given its position on iTunes, whether it will premiere on the ARIA singles chart.
Australia's first stop for pop!
