After hitting the big time in Hollywood over the last few years (Star Wars, Game of Thrones), Keisha Castle-Hughes is making her musical debut.

Speaking to Woman’s Day, the Kiwi star revealed she has battled with anxiety, depression and has bipolar tendencies.

One way she has learned to deal with it is by expressing herself though rap poetry.

Mental health and suicide are issues she expresses in her debut single In The Morning.

It’s a collaboration with her friend and entertainer Mika, which will premiere at the Aroha ’17 Festival of Ideas in Auckland on February 15.

“It’s not a power ballad or a pop song” says Keisha. “It’s more like rap poetry.”

The Oscar nominee admits that she has always had a strong passion for music and in particular, hip-hop. She ended up spitting some poetry on a track by writer, poet and musician Tourettes. You can listen to her here
