# G Flip
**G Flip** is the musical project of Georgia Flipo, an Australian drummer, singer, songwriter and producer from Melbourne, [Victoria](https://www.edgepedia.org/victoria-state), known for emotive, drum-driven synth pop and rock.[1](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mn0003721698) • [2](https://www.abc.net.au/triplejunearthed/artist/g-flip) Flipo, born in 1994 in St. Kilda, Victoria, came out as non-binary in 2021 and uses they/them pronouns.[1](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mn0003721698) • [3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview) Across three albums, About Us (2019), DRUMMER (2023), and Dream Ride (2025), the project has produced an ARIA number-one album, multiple ARIA Awards, and a live reputation built on Flipo's breadth as a drummer who also sings, plays guitar and piano, and produces their own music.[4](https://www.thenote.com.au/news/g-flip-new-single-in-another-life-new-album-dream-ride) • [5](https://www.greatsouthernnights.com.au/g-flip) • [6](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/27/g-flip-selling-sunsets-chrishell-stause-drumming-new-album-drummer)

## Early life and musical beginnings
Flipo grew up near the beach outside Melbourne and received a first drum kit from an uncle at age nine, an event they describe as the day their life began.[10](https://volley.com.au/blogs/news/g-flip-wear-it-with-pride) • [3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview) At 12 they began lessons with a local musician, Jenny Rose Morrish, who trained them to sing backing vocals while drumming; Flipo's current drum kit is named JEROMO in her honor, and DRUMMER later became a tribute to her.[3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview) Flipo went on to study the instrument at the Box Hill Institute and played in progressive metal, rock, pop, and wedding bands while working as a session drummer, and toured the United States with the trio EMPRA until it disbanded in 2016.[3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview)
After leaving EMPRA, Flipo set a one-year goal in 2017 to make a solo career happen. They built an Instagram following by posting drumming videos, then switched the handle to the childhood nickname G Flip, an abbreviation of Georgia Flipo, and began posting songs written in their bedroom.[6](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/27/g-flip-selling-sunsets-chrishell-stause-drumming-new-album-drummer) • [11](https://www.arc.unsw.edu.au/blitz/interviews/g-flip) In February 2018 the single "About You", written and produced in that bedroom, was uploaded to triple j Unearthed and [SoundCloud](https://www.edgepedia.org/soundcloud); it was played on triple j the same day, and Pitchfork named it Best New Track, comparing the multi-tracked vocals to "all three Haim sisters at once".[6](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/27/g-flip-selling-sunsets-chrishell-stause-drumming-new-album-drummer) • [3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview) A deal with the independent label Future Classic followed within the week.[6](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/27/g-flip-selling-sunsets-chrishell-stause-drumming-new-album-drummer)
## Albums
**About Us (2019).** The debut album documents, in chronological order, a breakup and reconciliation with a partner of five years, and reached [No. 6](https://www.edgepedia.org/no-6) on the ARIA Chart with three platinum-selling singles, including "Drink Too Much" and "I Am Not Afraid".[12](https://music.apple.com/us/album/about-us/1709039486) • [4](https://www.thenote.com.au/news/g-flip-new-single-in-another-life-new-album-dream-ride) • [3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview) It was nominated for three ARIA Awards.[3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview) In February 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic, a panel of international judges awarded Flipo the Levi's Music Prize Round 2 (2019/2020).[13](https://www.qmusic.com.au/uploads/QMusic_Annual_Report_Jun2021_V6_WEB_1.pdf)
**DRUMMER (2023).** After moving to Los Angeles in 2021, Flipo told their label they never wanted to make music without a drum kit again and set out to make "a pop record that's thinking of drums first".[6](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/27/g-flip-selling-sunsets-chrishell-stause-drumming-new-album-drummer) All 11 songs were co-produced and co-written by Flipo. The album peaked at No. 1 on the Australian Albums Chart, was nominated for Album of the Year, Best Independent Release, Best Rock Album, and Best Solo Artist at the 2023 [ARIA Music Awards](https://www.edgepedia.org/aria-music-awards), and won Best Australian Live Act plus the J Award for Australian Album of the Year.[5](https://www.greatsouthernnights.com.au/g-flip) A 13-date, sold-out DRUMMER tour of Australia followed its August 2023 release.[5](https://www.greatsouthernnights.com.au/g-flip)
**Dream Ride (2025).** The third album, released September 5, 2025 via AWAL Recordings, was distilled from more than a hundred written songs into ten tracks and drew on 1980s production, saxophone, and a persona Flipo calls "Butch Springsteen", a butch, queer take on [Bruce Springsteen](https://www.edgepedia.org/bruce-springsteen), alongside the shorthand "masculine Madonna".[7](https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/g-flip-announces-eighties-inspired-album-dream-ride-79724/) • [14](https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/g-flip-interview-dream-ride-album-83382/) Flipo relearned the saxophone, an 18th-birthday gift, over three months so it could be played live rather than on a backing track.[14](https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/g-flip-interview-dream-ride-album-83382/)
## Live performance and touring
Flipo's live shows draw on their range as a multi-instrumentalist: a drummer first and foremost who also sings, plays guitar and piano, and produces their own music.[6](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/27/g-flip-selling-sunsets-chrishell-stause-drumming-new-album-drummer) A critics' aggregate of 22 concert reviews rates the shows at 81 on a 100-point scale and places G Flip in the top 10 percent of live performers, with concerts usually lasting about an hour and a half.[15](https://www.liverate.com/artists/g-flip)
The Dream Ride Tour of Australia ran in February and March 2026 across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth, joined by the Canadian band The Beaches and singer-songwriter [Ayesha Madon](https://www.edgepedia.org/ayesha-madon); a second Sydney show at the [Hordern Pavilion](https://www.edgepedia.org/hordern-pavilion) was added after demand.[16](https://www.frontiertouring.com/gflip) In late 2026 G Flip is scheduled to support [Robbie Williams](https://www.edgepedia.org/robbie-williams) on Australian stadium dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, and Brisbane.[17](https://www.gflipmusic.com/tour) The single "Bed on Fire" found a large new audience through the Amazon series *Off Campus*, prompting a North American tour in mid-2026.[18](https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/g-flip-off-campus-success-bed-on-fire-north-american-tour-tickets-96988/)
## Identity and advocacy
Flipo came out as non-binary on Instagram in 2021, writing, "That's who I've been my entire life."[3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview) In January 2023 they became an ambassador for the Victorian Pride Centre, Australia's first purpose-built Pride Centre, signing on for a three-year term; a one-off July 2022 concert for Non-Binary People's Day raised over $14,000 for the organization.[19](https://pridecentre.org.au/musician-and-advocate-g-flip-is-the-newest-ambassador-at-the-pride-centre/) Flipo has said that being a visible non-binary drummer is central to the project: "the backbone and the biggest part of the G Flip project is being that person I never had when I was a kid."[3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview)
## Public profile
A large part of G Flip's international recognition came through the relationship with [Chrishell Stause](https://www.edgepedia.org/chrishell-stause), a star of the Netflix reality program *Selling Sunset*, which the couple made public in May 2022 and married later that year in Las Vegas.[6](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/27/g-flip-selling-sunsets-chrishell-stause-drumming-new-album-drummer) Flipo has appeared in episodes of the show and says the decision was made deliberately for LGBTQ+ visibility.[3](https://www.them.us/story/g-flip-drummer-interview) In Australian music culture, G Flip has been a regular presence in triple j's Hottest 100 countdown, and their album About Us amassed more than 180 million streams.[20](https://www.timeout.com/melbourne/music/g-flip) In 2026 they received five ARIA nominations and, after recovering from a vocal cord injury, performed alongside [Kylie Minogue](https://www.edgepedia.org/kylie-minogue) at the [AFL Grand Final](https://www.edgepedia.org/afl-grand-final) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[21](https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/g-flip-interview-yours-and-owls-kylie-minogue-off-campus-and-more-101788/)
