Australian singer and actress Lenka will perform a solo concert Dec. 14 at Shenzhen Concert Hall.

Her song “Everything at Once” was used in a Windows 8 television advertisement and in a Disney Movie Rewards commercial.

As a teenager, Lenka studied acting at the Australian Theater for Young People, where she trained with actress Cate Blanchett. Lenka starred in the Australian ABC-TV drama series “GP” as Vesna Kapek in the 1990s. She also hosted Cheez TV and has guest starred in other Australian TV series, including “Home and Away,” “Wild Side,” “Head Start” and “Spellbinder.” She appeared in Australian feature films “The Dish” and “Lost Things,” as well as in theater productions. Lenka provided the vocals for 2 tracks on Paul Mac’s 2005 album, “Panic Room”. She was a member of the Australian electronic-rock crossover band Decoder Ring for two of their albums. She then moved to the United States in 2007.

Lenka released her eponymous debut album in 2008, with “The Show” chosen to be the first single release from the set. Lenka creates paper art 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 in 2010.
