My process is to be by myself when I record. It's quite an emotional performance to pull off when someone else is in the room. I prefer to go away and have my own time with it, bring it in later. Kimbra bringemotionalperformance Change image and share on social
I moved from New Zealand to Melbourne when I was 17. I'd planned to go to university to study French, but I was offered a contract to write and record an album that was too good to pass up. Looking back now I think that was pretty young but, at the time, I was ready to have an adventure. Kimbra adventurealbumback share on social
I haven't stopped writing which is good. I'm scared to stop completely otherwise it might lead to stagnancy. Kimbra completelygoodlead Change image and share on social
There's a vulnerability in music but you've also got to protect your sacred place and have a place you can still retire to that no one else knows about. So that's a thing I just try to balance. Kimbra balancehavemusic Change image and share on social
I guess there might come a point when I will want to live an anonymous life. I'm only at the start of my career, so I'm sure that moment will come, but I know how blessed I am to have this platform on which to speak and influence. Kimbra anonymousblesscareer share on social
I want to be the kind of artist who keeps pushing on every album. I don't want to settle on a sound. Kimbra albumartistkind Change image and share on social
I'm thinking about a few weeks in Montreal to work with a producer I met there. Kimbra meetmontrealproducer Change image and share on social
I started writing songs when I was 10. It was a natural way to express myself as a kid. It wasn't until I started listening to jazz, joined the choir and picked up a guitar that my little hobby became something far more serious. Kimbra choirexpressguitar share on social
People are consuming more than ever, but I think they want a bit of honesty and depth. Adele, Gotye, Janelle Monae - they're giving you a catchy song, but it's also a challenging song at the same time. Kimbra adelebitecatchy share on social
I think 'SNL' is so well-known for its musical performances, as well, and people really breaking into America through a really great performance on there. So I think me and Gotye are both really excited to be amongst such company. You know, it's great. Kimbra americabreakcompany share on social
