From Jose Rizal to Perez Hilton: 10 Things about Aussie Singer Lenka

Dyan Zarzuela | Published: Dec 15, 2009 - 8:13pm

3. She's (kind of) "sacrificing" her career this Christmas. "I'm going to spend a month in Australia. I just want time to play with my friends' babies and hang out with my families and friends."

4. She used to get water guns for Christmas. Since it's summer in Australia during Christmas, Lenka has spent the holidays having barbecues, swimming and squirting her siblings with water guns. She's half-Czech so she has also spent it in a more religious and solemn manner during their Christmas Eve dinners, which she describes as similar to Noche Buena in the Philippines.

5. She knows 34 languages. Just bits and pieces actually. On November 3, Lenka blogged and asked her fans who speak different languages to translate "can you hear me," "hold me," "touch me," "speak to me," and "I love you" in their own languages. Over a month later, she has finished a "really cute pop love song" with 34 languages in it. "I love it. I love languages, and the idea of globalization and connection between people who don't speak the same language. [The song] might just be an individual download."

6. She doesn't want to be Britney Spears. She greeted her fans at a Zurich show, "Hey, Stockholm!" She says, "I really don't want to be the Britney Spears type of artist who has no idea where she is. I was super embarrassed. I realized it later in the set and I apologized." Good thing the audience was "pretty polite about it."

7. She likes Perez Hilton's doodles. "Perez Hilton is a guilty pleasure because I'm totally wasting time reading mindless gossip." Watching TV is another guilty pleasure since she has to motivate herself to write songs.
