about

Born and raised north of Sydney, Australia in a quintessentially musical family, Renee Hibbert spent her childhood in a home filled with sound.

As the studio grew, so did the collection of songs and connections began being made via the internet. From this, the duo of Aventine was born which saw the release of highly acclaimed album 11hours and 34minutes. Written via the internet, 11hours and 34minutes was a collection of Renee's songs, with cowriter and coproducer Glen Oakes, a Melbournian bass player/producer with a penchant for chilled out electronica. 11hours and 34 minutes was released in October 2005 via a Melbourne record label and garnered excellent reviews. It was a lack of creative control however, that frustrated Renee. As pleased as she was with the Aventine release, she was hatching the idea for an album of her own. The next few years saw Renee writing prolifically. Each song would find its way back to her family home, where she and her father would list
