Early life

Casey Donovan was born in Condell Park, New South Wales, with a family lineage that included several relatives in musical careers, including her father, who is also a member of The Donovans, alongside her brothers. Her mother and siblings moved in with stepfather Norm Axford after her parents divorced. Casey was always fascinated with singing and performing as a child. When she was ten years old, a childhood acquaintance with the Donovan cousins sparked an interest in both singing and playing guitar, which culminated in busking on Tamworth's streets during the Country Music Festival. Casey's musical aptitude was evident at Bass Hill Public School and Georges Hall Primary School, but it was not enough to warrant any public notice. Her talent wasn't evident until she came to Condell Park High, where she was aided greatly by both her mother and stepfather.

Personal life

Donovan lends her name and help to a number of charitable and non-profit groups. Donovan is an Ambassador for APRA AMCOS and an advocate for the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence.

Donovan was the perpetrator of a six-year phone call with a persona named Campbell, which was constructed by a woman named Olga.
