She's already the toast of the UK music scene, now Kiwi chanteuse Ladyhawke is making headway in the notoriously fickle American pop market.
The Masterton-raised singer was among a group of artists hand-picked by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton for his "mini-festival" touring the States.
She joins six other acts for the 17-date tour, which kicked off in Atlanta on Thursday.
It's a huge coup for the shy 28-year-old, real name Pip Brown, who suffers from a mild form of autism.
The London-based singer will head home next month for gigs in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and to attend the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.
