After a chance meeting in the United States, Jessica Mauboy hopes to collaborate with rap star Dr Dre. 
While they only met briefly at a Hollywood party, our homegrown soul diva hopes the encounter may lead to something more.
“It was crazy. I just saw him in the corner of my eye and was just like, ‘Oh my god, I’m in love with this guy and I love his music, grew up with his music and I really want to meet him’,” she told The Daily Telegraph. “My friend introduced us and I think they’ve kind of kept in touch and we really want to work towards that.”
While she’d love to work with her idol, Jess acknowledges that “in the real world it’s all about the money side of it. So hopefully we can kind of get that together and the record label can really help me towards that. You never know. He might just fall in love with what I do and want to make a track.”
Perhaps Jess will get her chance when she returns to Los Angeles for four months in the New Year. During her visit, Jess will write and record album number three.
