Girl from Oz
MANILA, Philippines - She became known with her hit singles The Show and Trouble Is A Friend, which were used in popular US TV series like Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty and 90210. SM Malls and Sony Music are bringing sweet-sounding Australian singer Lenka for a series of shows at SM Malls from Dec. 11 to 13.
Co-presented by MYX and 96.3 EasyRock, “The Show” with Lenka live in Manila will be held on Dec. 11 at SM Megamall, Dec. 12 at SM Mall of Asia, and Dec. 13 at SM North EDSA. She will capture the hearts of Filipinos with her songs that are easy on the ears from her self-titled debut album, which also features the new single Knock Knock. She thinks of her record as a “mood-enhancer.”
“I don’t like it when people are depressed. I want to cheer them up,” she said.
Lenka trained under Oscar winner Cate Blanchett when she started as an actress in her native Australia. She also described herself as a “punk-ass art school student” and was a vocalist/keyboardist for acclaimed indie electronic/ambient outfit Decoder Ring before moving to the United States to pursue a solo career as a singer.
Lenka’s self-titled album under Sony Music is available at leading music stores. To download Lenka’s songs just text SC957 for The Show or SC975 for Trouble Is A Friend and send to 2332 (for Globe subscribers only).
