Sophie Monk was born on December 14, 1979 and is a former member of the Popstars Australia group Bardot. Her climb to celebrity started in 1999 when she drove all night to make it to an audition for the first ever Australian series of Popstars and achieved success in Eurasia with her debut single "Inside Outside". She launched her solo career after a break from Bardot.

Monk's debut album Calendar Girl launched her second single "Get The Music On". Her third single, the heavily sampled, "One Breath Away" achieved a fair amount of success in Australia. Her unique blend of pop, dance, and classical music gave her an edge that could only be rivaled by fellow Australians Bond. She also appeared on the music video to pop punk band blink-182's song, "Always".

In 2006, Sophie scored a lead role in the new movie Date Movie, playing alongside the likes of Alyson Hannigan. Similar to Scary Movie, it is a take-off of romantic comedies, where Sophie played the scheming ex-girlfriend Andy and most famously parodying Paris Hilton's car washing commercial.
