Eve von Bibra was born on 27 June 1966 and grew up in Melbourne. She relocated to London to enrol in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Upon return to Australia, at the age of 18, she joined the Victorian State Opera as a soprano in Gilbert and Sullivan productions and in a Bach Operetta.
She acted in a 1980s television soap opera, Sons and Daughters. In 1986 she formed a pop group, Chantoozies. They released two albums, Chantoozies (1987) and Gild the Lily (1991) before disbanding in 1991. In July 1988 their third single, "Wanna Be Up", which was co-written by Von Bibra and Brett Goldsmith, peaked at No. 6 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The band's fourth single, another Brett and Von Bibra song, "Kiss'n' Tell", was released in August 1988 and peaked at No. 25 in October. One of the group's last singles was a cover version of Stephen Stills' track, "Love the One You're With".
After Chantoozies disbanded in late 1991 von Bibra returned to acting with roles on mid-1990s TV including Time Trax (1993) and The Damnation of Harvey McHugh (1994). Aside from acting, von Bibra has also worked on TV shows as an artist co-ordinator for RocKwiz (2007–2012) and assisting production for Angry Boys (2011) and Outland (2012). In November 2008 on RocKwiz, von Bibra appeared as a guest contestant, performed her solo rendition of "Love the One You're With" and a duet with Jed Kurzel (The Mess Hall) for a cover of Bee Gees hit, "To Love Somebody".
