Lenka
There once was a little girl. She was born in the bush in Australia. Her first friends were trees. Her father played the trumpet, she sang with him when she was 6. They moved to Sydney. She went to art college. She started to sing a bit more. She joined a band called Decoder Ring. They created an album called
Somersault, the soundtrack to a feature film of same name. It won lots of awards. She got called things like an "ethereal songstress" and "breathy, strangely haunting" (
Rolling Stone Australia). She flew on a plane and landed in Los Angeles. She hid away in studios and emerged with new songs. She released her debut solo album in September and made a video where she got to fly like Peter Pan. People used her songs in lots of TV shows and films, like
Ugly Betty and
Grey's Anatomy. She was named VH1's "You Oughta Know Artist," released an iTunes Single Of The Week, and more people began to write about her.
Blender called her quirky and hot,
Marie Claire called her surprisingly cool. But hot or cool, all of the people who have found Lenka have discovered that she is still really that girl singing to the trees.
