Codi Kaye Pollock (born 8 February 1997), known by her stage name Codi Kaye, is an Australian singer-songwriter. Born in Coffs Harbour[1] and raised in Newcastle[2], NSW[3], she played drums in her primary school band. Codi began singing and learning guitar when she was given a Maton[4] for her 13th birthday. It was from then that she began experimenting with her music and writing lyrics.

Star Struck Schools Spectacular is a regional schools musical spectacular performed annually. Codi started out, like many other students interested in performing, as one of the many young dancers in Star Struck Schools Spectacular when 8 years old in Year 3. When she was 10 years old Codi made it into the large Star Struck Schools Spectacular choir when in Year 5. When 15 and in year 10 Codi auditioned with an original song for a singing spot in a small group. Star Struck Schools Spectacular executives decided the song "Show Your Love" fitted a section of the show and so Codi was asked to sing Show Your Love solo, which she did in front of the 5,000 audience for the 3 shows in 2012. Codi also performed with other singers in Star Struck Schools Spectacular in 2013 in two small group performances.

Codi Kaye also won the Silverchair[6] Best Original Song songwriter's award for two songs "Humanity" and "You're Not Innocent" judged by music industry executives.
