After several tough years of heartbreak, it's finally a brighter day for Aussie country music legend Troy Cassar-Daley.
A giant poster in New York's legendary Times Square featuring his talented singer-songwriter daughter Jem, who has been slowly but surely rising through the ranks of the local country music scene - has put the familiar smile back on Troy's dial. "Super proud father moment right here," he told Instagram fans, revealing Jem's latest gig as a Spotify ambassador supporting women's music.
"After walking there [Times Square] with her years ago as a very small child at Christmas time, this is quite surreal for us... Well done to our baby."

It's a welcome turnaround for the First Nations favourite, a famed Gumbaynggirr/ Bundjalung man, who was shattered by the death of his adored single mother Irene alone at home - in July last year.
But that was just the latest in a series of family tragedies that sent the multi-award-winning star to the brink of disaster.
