BIO:

Tasmanian artist Grace Chia, blends her poetry roots with impactful hip-hop and soulful RnB, addressing political and social issues often overlooked in mainstream media. Through her performances, she amplifies marginalised voices with punchy bars and raw emotion. Expect deep-thought lyricism, soulful melodies and raw performances with her heart worn proudly on her sleeve. Grace is a regular at Hobart’s hip-hop events and performs statewide, including MONA FOMA, DARK MOFO and The Festival of Voices 2024. She’s supported acts like Drapht, Allday, Cash Savage and The Last Drinks, Grouch in Dub, The Dub Princess and K+Lab. She is set to perform her first international show in New Zealand for Twisted Frequency’s New Years Eve festival 2024/25.

 

She recently launched her collaboration with the all-female band FFLORA headlining at MONA FOMA, and performing at a Festival Called Panama, The Taste of Summer and MONA Museum.
Grace is the 2024 recipient of the “Nick Balcombe ‘Live Your Dream’ Grant”. Last year she released her debut album, ‘Marsapollo”, won the Young Achiever’s People’s Choice Award, earned a National Live Music Awards nomination for Best Live Act, and was selected in The Push’s 25 under 25 ‘Best Emerging Artists’.
