Early life

In a 2022 interview with Music Festivals Australia, Buckingham said, "I've been singing for as long as I can remember… There are recordings of me at five years old, making albums with my Granddad, who was a singer and actor... My uncle gave me a hand-me-down guitar for Christmas when I was 14 and it suddenly just made sense for me to put music to the words I’ve been writing. It’s always felt natural to me, even when I began performing and was terrified to be in front of an audience."[5]

Career

Between 2005 and 2009, Buckham released three extended plays, Daydreamer (2005), My Own Horse (2008) and Gravity (2009) and was a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition.[2] the EP Fragile Heart was released in 2012.[6]

In July 2013, Buckingham released I'm a Bird. This was followed in 2017 with The Water; a collection of songs that confront fear, convey heartache and celebrate adventure, desire and devotion.[7]

Buckingham released Dear John in April 2022[5]

Buckingham released her fourth studio album Beautiful Machine in March 2026. It debuted at number 35 on the ARIA Charts.[4]
