Jessica Mauboy Indonesia Bound

by lkatulka on June 14th, 2008

Jessica Mauboy will explore her Indonesian heritage later this month when she heads to Jakarta as part of a cultural exchange. Her father is Indonesian, while her mother is of indigenous Australian, native American, and English descent.

That’s some mix!

The Young Diva was invited as a guest of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta to participate in the week-long trip.

While she’s there Jess will perform on the Indonesian breakfast TV show Nuansa Pagi and Indonesian Idol Spectacular. She’ll also attend a special function for Australian Ambassador Bill Farmer. Sounds like she’s going to be a busy girl!

Jessica is currently working on her solo release, which has got to be a welcome change from those Young Divas dance covers!
