    Kimbra has achieved remarkable recognition in her career, winning two Grammy Awards, four ARIA Music Awards, and seven New Zealand Music Awards. Her collaboration with Gotye on 'Somebody That I Used to Know' set a Guinness World Record for the longest-running number-one single on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart at 11 weeks. She was the third New Zealander to win a Grammy, and her portrait by Vincent Fantauzzo was a finalist for the prestigious Archibald Prize in 2012.
