Chanel was born in Hamilton, New Zealand, and moved to Bega, New South Wales. Her fame grew largely from her appearance as a contestant in the second season of Australian Idol (2004). She was eliminated from the competition on 25 October having reached fifth place. Both her song choices and jazz-influenced vocal style were noted as setting her apart from the other Idol hopefuls, along with her eccentric hair accessories, which often included feathers, flowers and other ornaments.[1]
