Missy Higgins was discovered in 2001, when the Melbourne high-school student's song "All for Believing" won an unsigned artist competition sponsored by Australian national radio station Triple J. The plaintive piano ballad was an instant hit, but Higgins took her time with the fame. She eventually signed with Australia's Eleven imprint, which issued a self-titled EP in November 2003. It contained both "Believing" and Higgins' second hit, "Greed for Your Love." The Scar EP appeared in August 2004, and set the scene for the full-length Sound of White, which dropped the following September. Higgins then toured Australia, released a live EP, and prepared for her American debut, which came in January 2005 with the domestic-only All for Believing EP. Released through Warner Bros., it included the title track and four other songs from the Sound of White LP. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
