Ep.16: Interview with singer songwriter Lenka

This week on SyncRiffs, Charles interviews Lenka, an Australian singer songwriter who is back working with the Blue Buddha Sync Team. Charles & Blue Buddha Entertainment first worked with Lenka in 2007, securing her two syncs before she went on to secure a major label and publishing deal.

Welcome to Lenkaland! Inhabited by Aussie singer-songwriter Lenka and all her sugar bombs, Lenka has spent much of her time on this earth making music to soothe her own heart and hopefully yours. Her early career as an actress spiked everything with a sense of drama. Her education in fine art peppered all with visual expression. Her love of nature began with a blissful early childhood in the Australian bush. Career highs saw her tour the world extensively and perform on live TV around the globe. Motherhood has brought her back to the Australian countryside, where she resides and continues to make music.
She takes us through her journey as a singer songwriter and talks about her process for writing music, her forthcoming new album & a 2023 winter U.S tour.
