In 2013 teen singing sensation Lorde (Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O’Connor) became one of New Zealand’s most famous exports.
The Auckland-born singer burst onto the music scene with her debut single ‘Royals’ and has since gone on to be named one of Time magazine’s ‘Most Influential Teenagers of the Year’ and ‘Woman of the Year’ by MTV’s college channel.
Lorde became first New Zealander to take out No.1 on the US Billboard Charts, a position she held for nine weeks, and has since been nominated for four Grammy Awards including ‘Song of the Year’, ‘Record of the Year’, ‘Best Pop Solo Performance’ and ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’.
