纽西兰的女唱作人Bic Runga,生于纽西兰基督城 (Christchurch),父亲Joseph为毛利人 (Maori),母亲Sophia为中国人(原姓邓),小时受她两个姐姐Boh和Pearl的影响,爱上写歌和玩奏乐器。中学时代加入了组合 xtrasmokefreerockquest 和 Love Soup,后被发掘而签约 Sony Music五年,于 1997年推出首张专辑 Drive,推出后旋即在纽西兰达到三白金销量,并于当地Tui awards(地位等同格林美奖)连夺四大奖--最佳专辑,最佳唱片,最佳演唱表演及最佳唱作人,后更成纽西兰音乐史上销量最高的本地女歌手。
Bic Runga is 26 years old. She is of Chinese and Maori heritage, born and raised in Christchurch. Bic now lives between Auckland (near to her parents and two sisters) and wherever else in the world she needs to be.
In early 1997, Bic recorded her debut album 'Drive' - over a two month period with one engineer and a handful of musicians - and produced it herself.
'Drive' was released in New Zealand in 1997 and immediately established Bic as a star. The album won a swag of Tui awards - including 'Album of the Year', 'Record of the Year', 'Best Vocal Performance' and 'Best Songwriter'. Bic also won the coveted Silver Scroll for songwriting. The album went on to become the biggest selling local artist album in New Zealand music history.
Over the following 2 years, 'Drive' was successfully released all around the world and Bic travelled relentlessly, promoting and performing, sometimes alone with an acoustic guitar, sometimes with a band. Rarely able to return home to the other end of the world, Bic was based for long periods in New York City.
While living in New York, Bic wrote several songs which would be recorded for her second album, 'Beautiful Collision' - including the album's first single 'Get Some Sleep'. Other songs from the new album were written after Bic returned to New Zealand in 1999.
In late 1999, Bic began recording her follow up to 'Drive'. Relishing the freedoms afforded by the digital format and by again self-producing, Bic moved between studios in the USA and New Zealand, utilising the skills of many engineers and many more musicians. Recording was undertaken to varying degrees in New York, Los Angeles, Auckland (including Bic's home studio), Wellington and Christchurch.
In February 2002, Bic and her hard drive travelled back to New York for the mixing of the album by mix engineer Michael Brauer (Coldplay, New Radicals) at Quad Sudios. It is appropriate that the recording of the last track on 'Beautiful Collision' - 'Gravity' - was only completed at Quad while Brauer was busy mixing the other tracks.
