“做自己喜欢的事情,不要太过于盲从他人的建议。”这是来自新西兰一名歌手的建议。

“Do what you love, not what others tell you is right,”says Georgia Lines of New Zealand.I spoke with the 24-year-old singer-songwriter earlier this year about her success.In 2022, Lines was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the annual Aotearoa Music Awards ceremony.Aotearoa is the Māori name for New Zealand, an island country in the Pacific Ocean that is home to more than 5.1 million people.

Lines makes success look easy, but she has worked hard to perfect her craft.“I love what I do.I love it when I get lost in the music, and everything works together,”she told me.Lines has written more than 20 songs and collaborated(合作)with several top artists, including Jack Burton,Alex James, and Cassie Henderson.“I love working with other people and collaborating.I find I work better when I'm with others because we can share ideas with each other,”Lines said.When asked about her musical aspirations growing up, Lines smiled.“I was never a musical genius as a child.But I always loved singing and music,”she said.

In recent years, Lines has drawn enthusiastic crowds for her concerts.The video for her hit songNo One Knowswon Best Music Video of the Year in New Zealand in 2021.As for her future goals, Lines said that she wants to have a sustainable career and to keep doing what she loves.That means focusing on her own career and artistic achievements.“Comparison(比较)is the robber of success,”she said.“If I had stopped to compare myself with others,I wouldn't have made it as far as I have.”
