==Early life and career==
April's career began at 12 years old in 1960, while attending St. Peters Collegiate Girls School in Adelaide, South Australia. Her earliest employers/mentors include Rupert Murdoch ('Seventeeners', 'Sing Sing Sing', 'Studio A'), Clyde Packer ('Woodie's Teen Time', 'Bandstand'), producer/songwriter Nat Kipner, and Australian rock legend Johnny O'Keefe. Her personal manager during her early career in Adelaide, South Australia was her Mother, Jean Potts. Her road manager and photographer was her brother, Australian filmmaker Ted Potts. Her then business managers were Ron Tremaine (the Australian entrepreneur responsible for bringing The Beatles to Adelaide in 1964) and his wife Patricia Tremaine (née Morris, Miss South Australia 1959). April relocated to Melbourne in 1963 to play the Ivan Dayman dance circuit, including Festival Hall and the Palais St. Kilda, with other Australian teenage pop pioneers including Normie Rowe, Olivia Newton-John and Bobby and Laurie. Always told she looked like the young Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet, April was often referred to as 'Australia's Liz Taylor'.
April's first recording on Festival's Leedon Label, 'Make the World Go Away', won the 3UZ (Melbourne) Golden Sound Award 1963–64 for best-produced song in Australia. April was also awarded the 5KA (Adelaide) Best Female Artist Award 1964–65. During this time, April's image appeared under Coca-Cola bottle caps in Australia.
