Missy Higgins grew up in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and while at boarding school at Geelong Grammar School began her professional musical career in mid-2001. When she went home to visit her family she would occasionally sing in her brother's band. During this time she worked with the Kool Skools program and also won the Triple J Unearthed competition for her song "All For Believing". She had written this at 16 and included it in her first release.

After attracting the attention of manager John Watson, she released her first EP with his record label Eleven in November 2003. Her second EP Scar was released in August 2004, debuting at #1 on the Australian charts. Her first album, The Sound of White, was released in September 2004. Many of her songs feature her on piano or guitar.

The Sound of White was produced in the U.S. by John Porter with audio engineer Jay Newland, noted for his work with jazz singer Norah Jones.

Throughout 2004, Higgins had been touring as a support act with Pete Murray and The John Butler Trio, including solo performances at the Horden Pavilion, The Clarendon, and the Enmore Theatre. With the release of The Sound of White, Higgins began another national tour, her first as the headliner.
