Briolette Kah Bic RungaMNZM (born 13 January 1976 in Christchurch, New Zealand), recording as Bic Runga, is a New Zealand singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist pop artist. Her first solo album, Drive (1997), debuted at number one on the New Zealand Top 40 Album charts.
Runga has since become one of the highest-selling New Zealand artists in recent history. She has also found success internationally in Australia, Ireland, and, to some extent, in the UK.
Early life
Runga was born in Christchurch. Her mother, Sophia Tang, was a Chinese Malaysian lounge singer in Malaysia when she met Joseph Runga, a Māori. They moved to New Zealand to live.
Runga grew up in Hornby, Christchurch surrounded by a musically-inclined family, and started recording songs with her sisters, Boh and Pearl, when she was four years old. Runga's older sister Boh is now a vocalist in the New Zealand rock group Stellar, while Pearl is a session singer.
She learned how to play drums at the age of eleven, and guitar at about fourteen. Runga also learned to play the keyboard around this time. She attended Cashmere High School, joining high school bands and performing with local jazz groups by her mid-teens.

(feat. Dan Wilson of Semisonic) Between an overload of information And a striving for a pure dedication I Find myself looking for the exit sign See your pretty face in the sunshine In the morning after staying up all night I Want to wake you just to hear you Tell me it's alright And all I want to be is too much Sometimes for me Good morning baby I hope I'm gonna make it through another day Good morning baby I hope I'm gonna make it through another day See the stars and all the planets Fly the great wide world and have it all Yeah better get a ticket better get in line I'm praying now for beautiful weather Take a car and drive forever but I'm Only ever sitting at the traffic light And all the world to see is too much Sometimes for me Good morning baby I hope I'm gonna make it through another day Good morning baby I hope we're gonna make it through another day (And when you rise) And when you rise you'll find me here (Open your eyes) And see myself reflected there (And for awhile)
