Musicians on Musicians Series
In 2012, Runga participated in a heartfelt discussion with pop star BENEE for the Musicians on Musicians series. Their conversation touched on artistry and the challenges of life in music.
“How did you get so creative and brilliant?” Runga asked BENEE, who responded, “That’s coming from a legend, a literal icon!”
Overcoming Challenges
During their conversation, Runga shared her approach to overcoming the nerves that come with live performances. "It’s about using everything in the moment — rolling with it. My dad was in the army, so he taught me to stay calm, even when it’s hard."
Bic Runga’s latest single, “It’s Like Summertime,” is now available. Are you excited to hear more from her upcoming album?
