1981

Emma Donovan (born 1981) is an Aboriginal Australian singer and songwriter.

She is a member of the renowned musical Donovan family.

She started her singing career at age seven with her uncle's band, the Donovans.

Donovan was born in 1981 in Liverpool, a suburb of Sydney.

Her father, Neville Councillor, is from Geraldton in Western Australia, and is of Naaguja and Yamatji heritage.

Her mother, Agnes Donovan, is a Gumbaynggirr/Danggali woman from the Nambucca Valley on the north coast of New South Wales, where Emma was raised.

Donovan's musical singing career started at a young age.

Her grandparents Micko and Aileen Donovan, years before her birth, founded the Aboriginal country band The Donovans, which consisted of their five sons and daughter Agnes singing at local events.
