Hamilton-born singer Kimbra has added another string to her star-studded bow - an appearance on late-night American comedy show Saturday Night Live.

The pop star performed over the weekend with Aussie artist Gotye. The pair sang their hit Somebody That I Used to Know.

"Had so much fun on SNL," Kimbra tweeted. "It was an awesome experience."

LA-based Rhys Darby started the Twitter accolades. "Great job on SNL tonight," and One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush showed her support too for 22-year-old Kiwi songbird Kimbra.

SNL has proved a popular launching pad for many artists, including manufactured British boy band One Direction who arrive in New Zealand later this week.
