Flipo has released several platinum-charting singles, including "Killing My Time" and "Drink Too Much", while Drummer topped the ARIA Albums Chart the week of its release. Flipo's music has found itself particularly popular with listeners of Australian radio station triple j: Drummer won the 2023 J Award for Australian Album Of The Year, and seven songs from it were voted into that year's Hottest 100 countdown – setting the record for the most entries by a single artist in one countdown, with Flipo ranking in equal third place for most Triple J Hottest 100 entries of all time.[3]

Early life and education

Georgia Claire Flipo[4][5] attended primary school at Our Lady of the Assumption Primary School (OLA) in Cheltenham, Victoria and secondary school at Star of the Sea College in Brighton, Victoria, graduating in 2011.[6] Flipo studied a Bachelor of Music Performance at Box Hill Institute.[7][8][9]

Musical career

Flipo started playing drums at the age of nine, and percussion still forms a big part of their songwriting process, despite now being a multi-instrumentalist.[10] They said that they "spent most of 2017 holed up in [their] bedroom writing and recording",[11] having previously performed in various different Melbourne music acts as a session drummer and occasional backup vocalist.[12]

They then decided to adopt the name "G Flip" (derived from their father's nickname as "Mr Flip"[13]) as their stage name and try their hand at going solo.[14] In February 2018, they uploaded their debut single "About You" to Triple J Unearthed and that same day their track was premiered on Triple J.[11] The song was officially released on 2 March 2018. Pitchfork named it "Best New Track"[15] and the music video, filmed on their iPhone, was featured in YouTube's New Music Playlist.[16] Pining international interest in their project, G Flip was subsequently invited to play their first ever solo show at SXSW in Austin, Texas the following month.[16] Flipo's follow up track "Killing My Time" was released in May 2018.

In November 2018, G Flip was nominated for a J Award as Unearthed Artist of the Year[17] and was the inaugural winner of the ARIA Emerging Artist Scholarship.[18]

In December 2018, G Flip performed "Proud Mary" and "Blame It on the Boogie" at the ABC's "The Night is Yours" New Year's Eve Celebration 2018 at the Sydney Opera House,[19] and their song "About You" was featured in Season 2, Episode 10 of The Bold Type.[20]

In January 2019, "About You" polled at number 38 and "Killing My Time" at number 62 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2018.[21]

In July 2019, G Flip won Breakthrough Independent Artist of the Year at the Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR) Awards.[22] Their debut studio album was released on 30 August 2019.

G Flip worked with Ariel Rechtshaid on their track "I Am Not Afraid". Rechtshaid noted to Rolling Stone that "G Flip is a phenomenal musician... [they're] a strong songwriter and [have] a very authentic voice, and [they're] a badass producer."[23]

In January 2020, "Drink Too Much" polled at number 6, "Lover" at number 58, "Stupid" at number 66, "I Am Not Afraid" at number 77 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2019.[24]

In 2021, G Flip performed in Troye Sivan's live version of the song "In a Dream" playing drums in the video.[25]

They released a new single "Waste of space" on 14 July 2022.[26]

On 28 June 2023, G Flip announced that their second studio album, Drummer, would be released on 11 August 2023.[27] The album, on which all 11 songs were co-produced and co-written by G Flip, was released on that date.[28] It was nominated for Album of the Year, Best Independent Release, Best Rock Album and Best Solo Artist at the 2023 ARIA Music Awards,[29] and won Australian Album of the Year at the 2023 J Awards.[30][31]

Other activities

G Flip designed and released two sell-out collaborations with Crocs shoe manufacturers in 2020 and 2021. The shoe ranges included custom-designed "Jibbitz™ charms that adorn each pair... designed to represent little pieces of G Flip's life".[32] Both ranges sold out in minutes.[33]

Personal life

G Flip is informally referred to as simply "G".[34][13][35] They are non-binary[6] and use they/them pronouns.[36]

In May 2022, American actress Chrishell Stause revealed that she was in a relationship with Flipo.[37][38][39] In May 2023, G Flip and Stause announced via Instagram that they had married.[40][35]

G Flip has been an avid Collingwood Football Club supporter since an early age[41] and is an advocate for women playing Australian Rules Football and the AFL Women's. They performed at the Adelaide Oval for the 2021 AFL Women's Grand Final[42] and again in Melbourne at the 2023 AFL Women's Grand Final.[43][44]
