About kintsugi
I'm a singer-songwriter born and raised on the land of the Gadigal people in Sydney, Australia.

Press Blurb
Emerging Sydney-based artist giddy delivers a poignant and endearing new single, 'kintsugi'—an ode to the process of breaking and mending, and the light we both find and offer in life's darker moments. Inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, kintsugi's music is a testament to life's imperfections and the resilience they inspire. Drawing comparisons to the poetic intimacy of Sufjan Stevens, the timeless authenticity of Joan Baez, and the soul-baring melodies of Laura Marling, kintsugi's sound is both tender and fiercely human. A former refugee lawyer-turned-singer-songwriter, giddy's creative journey is as inspiring as her music. With roots in Gadigal land (Sydney, NSW), she picked up a ukulele named 'Lorien' and reconnected with her artistic spirit, transforming her poetry into songs that speak straight from the heart. Thoughtful, handcrafted, and radio-friendly, 'giddy' has the potential to become the soundtrack to moments of healing and connection worldwide.
