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 nationally, including PITP, MONA FOMA, DARK MOFO and The Festival of Voices and Pangea Festival (MLB). She’s supported acts like Drapht, Downsyde, Allday, Cash Savage and The Last Drinks, Grouch in Dub, The Dub Princess and K+Lab. Grace performed her first international show in New Zealand for Twisted Frequency’s New Years Eve festival 2024/25 and for their official after party supporting Deca (US) and Sunz (NZ).

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.
