Twelve year old Cha Cha Sullivan is making waves in the world of country music with her dad Kevin Sullivan and her two brothers making up the band The Sulli-vans.

Cha Cha has secured a significant win at McDonald’s Golden Gig which was held during the Tamworth Country Music Festival this year. The Golden Gig gives young music artists the opportunity to display their talent and kick start their music journey. 

Coming in second place, Cha Cha was eager to share her plans with her winnings. She has been saving up to purchase a mandolin which she is very excited to start learning. 

Cha Cha’s journey to music began in the home and from a very young age. Her family hit the road to perform live music all over Australia. She wrote her first song during Covid at the age of eight, called Flower Fields. She was inspired by the view from her verandah that overlooked fields of flowers. Taking a leaf out of dad’s book, Cha Cha began writing and continues to follow her dreams and perform live music with her family. 

The young artist wowed audiences and judges with her captivating performance, showcasing not only her impeccable singing skills but also her talent as a songwriter. 

Cha Cha is passionate and motivated, with so much enthusiasm for her work. She juggles a full schedule with school, live performances and her sport commitments. Cha Cha has just embarked on her high school journey where she loves History and PDHPE the most and is very grateful to have such nice teachers. She also represents the South Coast in Oz Tag.

She loves travelling the country with her family and seeing all the sights Australia has to offer and she is extremely grateful to have been given the opportunities she has. As she gears up for her next tour to the Northern Territory, Cha Cha is an inspiration to other young artists who want to follow their dreams.
