Meanwhile, Sia has provide Kenzie with advice and resources for her music career.

In an interview with the Zach Sang Show, the “paper” singer revealed that she utilized the recording studio in Sia’s home for quite a while when she was making new music. “I was actually using her studio in her house for like a very long time, which was awesome,” Kenzie explained. “It was so funny when people would come over. I would not tell them where they were, and they were like, ‘God, this house is ginormous!’ I’d be like, ‘Yeah, it’s my friend’s house.’ Like I would never tell them whose house it was.”
Sia has given Kenzie feedback about her music
In the aforementioned interview, Kenzie also divulged that Sia will often give her opinions about Kenzie’s music. Though Kenzie didn’t play her new singles (“100 degrees” and “paper”) for the Aussie before they released, Sia’s heard plenty of her other tunes. “I have definitely played her a bunch of my songs, and she gives me great feedback,” Kenzie admitted. She also shared that Sia will often text her feedback about her music even now.
For her part, Kenzie feels pleased to have someone who’s had such great success in the music industry in her life. “She is the nicest person I know,” the former reality TV star shared about her godmother. Kenzie also explained that she looks up to Sia. “Having like a huge inspiration to me just, like, around is great,” she shared. “And I feel like it’s more motivating as well because she is such an icon.”
Sia was featured on Kenzie’s song, ‘EXHALE’ back in 2020
A few years ago, Sia and Kenzie even collaborated on a song. The duo released their song, “EXHALE” in June of 2020 after Sia expressed interest in wanting to work with Kenzie professionally. The 18-year-old admits that she was super nervous to work with Sia at first, but is ultimately glad she put her fears aside and did it. To date, the quarantine music video for their song has racked up over 5.6 million views. But will there be another collaboration between the duo in the future? Only time will tell.
