G Flip’s songs of determination(Jess Gleeson)

G Flip burst into the Australian music scene in 2018. I first heard them when they uploaded a song to triple j Unearthed. They sang, they drummed, they stood out. And they got a lot of attention, right off the bat.

But their overnight success was years in the making. G had been working and pushing for yonks. As a kid they discovered a passion for the drums, they played in bands and found inspiration in a once in a lifetime teacher. And when they went out solo, it was with total determination to give it everything they’ve got.

G Flip isn’t just a killer drummer, songwriter, and singer, they’ve also become a beacon for kids who – like G – felt between two worlds. From Greenday to Tina Turner, this is a wonderful capture of an artist whose dreams of hitting the big time are unfolding.
