Ricki-Lee Coulter has spoken about her success after kick-starting her career on Australian Idol back in 2004.
The 37-year-old told The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, she is 'very proud' of herself after almost 20 years in the music industry.
'I am really proud that I have sustained a career for almost 20 years and had all of the crazy, wild amazing success that I've had, but I've worked my a** off for it,' she said.
Ricki-Lee went on to discuss her new single On My Own, which will be released on March 31.
'Whatever I have been through in my life, personal or in my career, the ups and downs, I know that I will always figure it out,' she explained.

Ricki-Lee recently revealed why it's so special returning to Australian Idol, 19 years ago after the show made her famous.
'This show made all of my childhood dreams come true,' Ricki-Lee told 7News.
'When I was a little girl, all I wanted was to be on stage and to perform for people, making music that makes people feel something.'
Ricki-Lee also hosted last year's season of Australia's Got Talent on Seven, and was there to comfort the contestants backstage.
The Gold Coast native has had four No. 1 hits on the ARIA Dance Chart, ten Top 10 singles on ARIA Singles Chart, two Top 10 entries on the ARIA Albums Chart, and has accumulated more than 75 million streams.
