At the age of 10, she had an interest in musical instruments and took up percussion lessons before joining an agency. She started modelling in the first year and attended castings for TV commercials. [http://www.biggeststars.com/i/indiana-evans-biography.html Indiana Evans - Biography at www.biggeststars.com] ] In 2001, she got her first role running in an Asguard commercial.Before working on "Home and Away", Indiana Evans had started high school at Newtown School for Performing Arts, but left after two weeks to focus on her acting career.

Career

In 2003, Evans got a guest role as Milly Roberts in an episode of "All Saints". She then landed the principal role in an American campaign for Kool Aid. She also appeared in the Australian comedy sketch show "Comedy Inc." The same year, she also got the role of Abbie Oakly on the television series, "Snobs".

In 2004, Evans also appeared on "Girl TV", a daily TV magazine show.

In 2004, when her part in "Snobs" was coming to an end, Evans was asked to audition for the role of Matilda Hunter in the series "Home and Away" and successfully got the part. She was nominated for the 2005 Logie Award for Most Popular New Female Talent for playing the role.

On April 21 2008, it was incorrectly reported that Evans was denied a contract renewal from the producers of "Home and Away" by Australian media website news.com.au. [ [http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,23570398-5013560,00.html Home and Away star Indiana Evans quits | NEWS.com.au Entertainment ] ] In the May 3 edition of magazine "TV Week", Evans stated that the producers offered her a contract extension, however she "was ready to move on", and that the incorrect report was "surprising". [cite journal|last=Stewart|first=Carolyn |date=May 3, 2008|title=Indiana quits. 'Why I'm really leaving the Bay'.|journal=TV Week|pages=13|quote=Reports that Indiana Evans was forced out of Home And Away when producers refused to renew her contract are false, says the actress. Speaking from her emotional final day filming on location, Indiana admits she was surprised to see the story. "At first, I laughed. It's bizarre that something that isn't quite true can get written about you," she says. "There isn't a lot you can do about it. I am leaving, but I decided to leave myself. They asked me back, which they tend to do with most characters. It was at the end of my contract, so it wasn't like I was cutting it short."] She consequently made her last appearance on the soap in July 2008.

Indiana will be appeared in the Australian series "The Strip" alongside former "Home and Away" co-Star Bobby Morley. [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1505375/ Indiana Evans at IMDb] ] She portrayed China Williams. Her newest role will see her playing the part of Bella in the childrens TV show .
