Georgia Claire Flipo (born 22 September 1993), known professionally as G Flip, is an Australian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Melbourne, Victoria. 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]
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] G Flip's follow up track "Killing My Time" was released in May 2018. In November, 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, 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 2018 Triple J Hottest 100.[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.[23] 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."[24]
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".[33] Both ranges sold out in minutes.[34] In July 2024, G Flip launched a new project and entered the alcoholic drinks market with Box Alcoholic Juice available in Australia at BWS stores nationally.[35]
In May 2022, American actress Chrishell Stause revealed that she was in a relationship with G Flip.[39][40][41] In May 2023, G Flip and Stause announced via Instagram that they had married.[42][37]
