Bic Runga

Artist: Bic Runga
Genre: Pop/Folk
Albums: Drive, Beautiful Collision, Birds

Bic comes from a musically talented family and started singing at a very young age. Her music has proven to be extremely sucessful in New Zealand, and she has been nominated and won in numerous categories at the New Zealand Music Awards. She was awarded for: top female vocalist, best album of the year, best music video, and the rising star award. Bic's voice isn't the only thing that makes her so successful- she also writes, produces, and plays much of her own music. Her latest album, Birds, was released in the UK in May and is her third consecutive #1 album (which is already certified platinum). Time South Pacific describes this album to be "a haunting mix of heartbreak, hope, and nostalgia", and there aren't any other words that could possibly describe her music in a better way than that.

The mix that I made for this post contains songs from her two most recent albums. The tracks in purple font are taken from her Beautiful Collision album, and the tracks in pink font from her most recent album, Birds.
