Early life[edit]

Madeleine Jane Woolley was born in 1996 and was raised in Lunawanna, Bruny Island.[5][6][7] Her parents owned a vineyard.[8] She later described the place, "you are used to waving to everyone and knowing everyone. I have learnt to be more comfortable in bigger situations, because I am just a little small town girl. I have definitely had to get used to the scale of things."[9]

Career[edit]

2015–17: "People" and Not Human at All[edit]

Woolley released her debut single "People" in 2015.[7] She released her second single, "Drown It Out", in December 2016.[10] Follow-up singles "No Other Way" and "Thank You and Sorry" were released in 2017.[7] All three singles featured on her debut extended play, Not Human at All, which was released on 2 March 2018 via Lemon Tree Music/Sony Music Australia. .[6][11] Dylan Marshall of The AU Review observed, "for the uninitiated, if you had to find an artist that is a cross somewhere between the wit and drawl of Courtney Barnett, Camp Cope's honesty and lyricism and the guitar hooks of early San Cisco, then you'd find someone that resembles [Jane]."[12]

2017–19: Touring with Harry Styles and Red Hot Chili Peppers[edit]

Woolley supported the Australian leg of tours by Harry Styles in November 2017[9] and by Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2019.[13]
