Their debut studio album, About Us , was released on 30 August 2019. Its follow-up, Drummer , followed almost four years later on 11 August 2023.
G Flip 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. G Flip'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 G Flip ranking in equal third place for most Triple J Hottest 100 entries of all time. [3]
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] G Flip studied a Bachelor of Music Performance at Box Hill Institute. [7] [8] [9]
G Flip 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 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.

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.
