Musical career
Summarize
Perspective
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]
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 2019 Triple J Hottest 100.[25] In 2021, G Flip performed in Troye Sivan's live version of the song "In a Dream" playing drums in the video.[26] They released a new single "Waste of space" on 14 July 2022.[27] On 28 June 2023, G Flip announced that their second studio album, Drummer, would be released on 11 August 2023.[28] The album, on which all 11 songs were co-produced and co-written by G Flip, was released on that date.[29] It was nominated for Album of the Year, Best Independent Release, Best Rock Album and Best Solo Artist at the 2023 ARIA Music Awards,[30] and won Australian Album of the Year at the 2023 J Awards.[31][32]

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]
G Flip has been an avid Collingwood Football Club supporter since an early age[43] and is an advocate for women playing Australian Rules Football and the AFLW.
