Lenka (born Lenka Kripac; 19 March 1978) is an Australian singer-songwriter, known for her song "The Show", (produced by Stuart Brawley) from her self-titled album Lenka. Her latest song "Everything at Once" was used in the official Windows 8 TV Ad, and in the Disney Movie Rewards commercial. The daughter of a Czech musician father and an Australian schoolteacher mother, Lenka was raised in the Australian bush of New South Wales until age seven, ... when her family moved to Sydney, where she received her schooling and music training, and started to work as a musician. As Lenka Kripac, she was a member of the Australian electronic-rock crossover band Decoder Ring for two of their albums. She then moved to California in 2007. After adopting her first name as her sole artistic name, Lenka released her eponymous debut album on 24 September 2008, with "The Show" (produced by Stuart Brawley) chosen to be the first single release from the set. The album peaked at number 142 on the US Billboard 200. Her song, "Everything at Once", featured for a Windows 8 ad, becoming a world wide success. Lenka creates paper art type of stop-motion animated music videos for each of her singles with James Gulliver Hancock, a visual artist from Australia. The childlike appearance to all her music videos is done on purpose by the duo. Her vocal stylings are a juxtaposition of pop and layered, complicated influences. She provided vocals on two tracks ("Addicted" and "Sunrise") on German artist Schiller's album Atemlos, released in Germany on 12 March 2010. See more [+]
