Early life

edit

Ricki-Lee Dawn Coulter was born on 10 November 1985 inAuckland,New Zealand.[2][3]Her name is a nod to singer Rickie Lee Jones. Her mother Loretta Sheerin, born in Tonga, was a model.[4][5][6]Coulter's parents separated before she was born, and she was raised by her mother.[7]Coulter and her mother relocated toGold Coast, Queenslandwhen she was three months old. Coulter's father figure at the time was her grandfather Rocky. Coulter's mother gave her every chance to visit her biological father in New Zealand when she was a child. "He wasn't a part of my life. I'd go over there and stay with him and his family, [but] it was just weird to me. Then when I got to an age where I could speak up to Mum, about six or seven, I said, 'I don't want to go; I don't like it.'"[8]

She attended Southport State School and experienced the personal struggles of a lonely childhood as she wanted a life similar to her school friends.[9]"Their mums and dads were married. They had brothers and sisters. They had afternoon tea. They had a cooked dinner. I never had that. I'd get home from school and there was nothing in the cupboard. I would eat mouldy bread and drink water because that would fill me up".[7]Coulter grew up mostly on her own because her mother worked two jobs to pay the bills.[7]During primary school, Coulter participated in many sports, including swimming,touch footballandnetball,which she played for six years.[3][6]When Coulter was nine years old, her mother met John, a man ofScottishdescent who is now her step father.[8][10]Coulter has two half-sisters, Jodie and Emily.[3][11]

As a teenager, she attendedSouthport State High School.[9]At the age of 15, Coulter had a serious knee injury that required reconstructive surgery. She was told she would never play netball again. Several months later, Coulter's ability to sing was discovered by her mother, who overheard her in her bedroom, which led to her performing at gigs in the Gold Coast andBrisbaneareas with live bands. Aside from singing, she also learned how to play several instruments, including thetenor saxophone,flute, and trumpet, and would often play them in school concerts and the school stage band. During high school, Coulter excelled in music and sport. After completing high school in 2002, she decided to focus on her music career, and began writing her own songs with her good friend Xy Latu.[12]
