Chanel Cole

Chanel Cole (born Chanel Cole Whalley on 13 November 1977 in Hamilton, New Zealand) is a musician from Bega, New South Wales. She is a member of the Australian trip hop group Spook.

Chanel's fame grew largely from her appearance as a finalist 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.

Chanel Cole Whalley was born in Hamilton, New Zealand, on 13 November 1977. Her middle name was given to her because of her dark, "black-as-coal" eyes. Three years after her birth, Chanel's parents divorced. She spent four years with her mother before living with her father, where she attended a total of 12 different schools in as many different towns. During this time, she learned piano, singing, ballet, flute, and guitar, as well as having acting lessons. She completed grade twelve a year in advance, eventually graduating from Gisborne Girls' High School in 1996. Soon after, Whalley became a performer on the Gisborne pub circuit, singing under the moniker of "That Girl".
