Summary

HELLOOOOO FRIEND! Today on the show, we bring you the absolutely energising G Flip. G is a drummer-turned-solo-artist, singer songwriter, and music producer, who after uploading her single ‘About You’ to Triple J Unearthed in February 2018, has since become a star. G has performed at music festivals like Splendour in the Grass and One Night Stand to her thousands of fans, and released her debut studio album in August last year. In this chat, G tells us about realising she was gay when she was just a child, the heartwarming moment her dad joined her on stage last year, as well as navigating a break up publicly amidst the train-wreck of a year that is 2020. Here is that video of G bringing her dad onto the stage at One Night Stand in 2019 and IT’S SO DAMN WHOLESOME PLS WATCH.
