How determined and focused is this little cutie .. go girl KIWI PRIDE!!!!

So proud of you Kimbra! You deserve all of the wonderful things that are happening to you. Enjoy.

Go GRAMMY GIRL Go

After seeing her perform all grown up on the ARIAs last night, this is a delightful flashback to the girl who already knew the young woman she would become. Go Kiwi, go.

"And it sounds so flash". She is so brilliant, even as a kid. Definitely one of my favourite artists.

She already knew what she wanted to do! And she kept working hard to get where she is!! Such an inspiration xx

Wow! How amazingly talented Kimbra was at 11 years old. She had an awesome voice with a beautiful tone for such a young girl! I love Kimbra! and she deserves all the success she has achieved and more!

how big is she now??!!! and she keeps getting bigger everyday... how else can you explain that someone like me (someone from honduras, central america) got to listen her music a few months ago and cant stop replaying her album over and over again.
She's so talented and hopefully someday she'll conquer the music industry worldwide

God, I remember watching this at the time on What Now?. She did a Atomic Kitten 'Whole Again' style music vid where she was filmed at double speed in some sort of dressing room with various costumes: "I'm doing this at double speed so I need to speed up my movements". NO. THE MOVEMENTS ARE MEANT TO BE SLOW. Still, she was only 11!

Kept replaying 3:12 because she's so cheesy and full of energy "Well we didn't get to see the finished product BUT IT SOUNDED REALLY COOL AY???!" 8-D. Awesome video though, she'd probably cringe at watching it.

good on her, she's great!

From wannabe pop star to giant pretend hipster. See ya thin!

A reminder that overnight sensations take years to make. What a fabulous talent.

Take a look at her progress the next year when she was 12. This film excerpt of workshops that were part of the NZ Music Commission musician mentoring programme , at Berkley Middle school 2002- and the kids here are playing the instruments, not adults...

Amazing even then at the tender age of 11

Geoff Whiser haha so true
To all those inquiring about the rest of the series: alas this appears to be the only clip from the series that survives in TVNZ's archive, so unless someone has recorded it at the time, the complete series is lost ... if you do have copies of the other clips in the series, please get in touch!: content@nzonscreen.com

I wonder what Kimbra will thinks if she gets to look back at this clip of her young self. Kimbra, are you out there looking at this?

Just terrific to view, thanks

Awesome, thanks for sharing this. Would definitely like to see the others in the series too!

lol. That was a crap beat

Ha! Great find.
Wow even at 11 she was oozing talent.
What Now has been such an inspiration to kids over the year.
"Get out that lazy bed.." indeed
