Musical career

[edit]

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]

Pitchfork named it "Best New Track"[15] and the music video, filmed on their iPhone, was featured in YouTube's New Music Playlist.[16] This piqued international interest, and 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]

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]

In September 2025, G Flip will release their third studio album, Dream Ride, preceded by the singles "Disco Cowgirl", "Big Ol' Hammer" and "In Another Life".[33]

Education and initial interests

Flipo attended Catholic all-girls schools in Melbourne's southeastern suburbs during primary and secondary education, including Star of the Sea College in Brighton for high school. At age nine, an uncle gifted Flipo their first drum kit, igniting an early passion for percussion that led to enrollment in local bands by their early teens.

Post-secondary, Flipo pursued and completed a degree majoring in , supplementing academic study with part-time work at a drum shop to fund equipment and refine practical application. This formal path, combined with self-directed exploration of indie and pop recordings, established a causal foundation for later production techniques, though no specialized conservatory training beyond the degree is documented.

Musical career

"About You" subsequently gained momentum on Australian radio stations and streaming services, accumulating over 120,000 views on its DIY and earning placements that boosted visibility. This traction culminated in the single polling at number 38 on Triple J's 2018 Hottest 100 countdown, announced in January 2019, signaling early national recognition. Subsequent singles such as "Killing My Time" in June 2018 further built momentum, leading to festival slots including Laneway Festival in early 2019, where G Flip performed "About You" live. In July 2019, G Flip received the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award at the Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR) Awards, affirming the causal progression from home production to industry breakthrough driven by organic streaming and radio play rather than major-label backing.

Debut album and rising prominence (2019–2021)

G Flip released their debut studio album, About Us, on August 30, 2019, through Future Classic. The ten-track record, primarily self-produced by G Flip (Georgia Flipo) with additional contributions from Eric J. Dubowsky, Andrei Eremin, Babydaddy, and Tony Buchan, was recorded in and draws from personal experiences of relational turmoil and emotional .

This exposure, combined with appearances and word-of-mouth from the album's raw vulnerability, elevated G Flip's profile, leading to collaborations and a dedicated following that emphasized their authenticity over polished industry narratives. The period solidified G Flip's reputation as an emerging force, with About Us serving as a foundation for subsequent breakthroughs without reliance on major-label hype.

Drummer era and commercial peak (2022–2023)

Drummer, G Flip's second studio album, was released on , 2023, via Future Classic. The title underscored the artist's primary instrument and longstanding identity as a , described by G Flip as "an ode to [their] kit" and a reflection on their formative years spent honing percussion skills. Themes throughout the record revolved around interpersonal relationships, emotional vulnerability, and , with songs addressing cycles of and separation; for instance, "The Worst Person Alive" confronts self-perceived failures in personal connections amid relational strain. In production, G Flip prioritized rhythm as the foundational element, beginning sessions by refining drum grooves and building melodic hooks around layered beats and loops, which amplified the percussive drive across tracks. This approach fused structures with rock-inflected energy, incorporating elements of urgency and anthemic choruses, while maintaining a raw, beat-forward aesthetic that highlighted the artist's multi-instrumental capabilities. Singles preceding the album—"Be Your Man," "The Worst Person Alive," "Good Enough," and ""—established its sound, with "Be Your Man" emphasizing devoted partnership and "Good Enough" probing self-doubt in romantic contexts. The album marked G Flip's commercial zenith to date, debuting at number one on the Albums Chart for the week ending August 18, 2023, supplanting prior releases and signaling robust domestic demand.

While exact unit sales figures were not publicly detailed by , the chart dominance aligned with certifications thresholds exceeding 35,000 equivalent units for gold status, underscoring empirical sales momentum driven by streaming and physical formats.

Dream Ride and recent developments (2024–2025)

G Flip released their third studio , Dream Ride, on September 5, 2025, via Recordings. The record marks a stylistic shift toward '80s-inspired rock, characterized by nostalgic elements such as sax solos, aesthetics, and a cinematic road-trip narrative evoking desert landscapes and tour-bus intensity. To conceptualize the , G Flip adopted the of "Butch Springsteen," described as a fictional masc , non-binary drumming and singing pop star who embodies the era's unapologetic energy, alongside influences like a "Masc " for production flair. This approach stemmed from the artist's relocation to , where much of the recording occurred, facilitating immersion in heritage and aiming for expanded international resonance beyond prior indie-pop roots. Preceding the full release, G Flip issued lead single "In Another Life" on July 10, 2025, which previews the album's queer-infused themes of alternate realities, personal reinvention, and emotional introspection drawn from lived experiences of identity exploration and relational flux. Additional tracks like "Disco Cowgirl" and "Bed on Fire" highlight the project's blend of high-energy pop-rock with introspective lyrics addressing self-discovery amid loss and transformation, as articulated in artist interviews. Upon debut, Dream Ride garnered immediate streaming traction, with early metrics showing strong plays on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, though specific chart peaks remain nascent as of October 2025. Post-release, G Flip has continued production refinements in , signaling ongoing evolution toward a hybrid of retro sonics and contemporary storytelling, unburdened by prior albums' constraints. This phase underscores a deliberate pivot for broader appeal, leveraging U.S.-based collaborations to amplify causal factors like cultural immersion and market proximity over domestic Australian scenes.

Tours and live performances

Following the release of their debut album About Us in August 2019, G Flip conducted a national Australian tour that saw multiple dates sell out, prompting additional shows in major cities including , , , and . The tour highlighted G Flip's high-energy live drumming style, with performances emphasizing multi-instrumental capabilities and audience engagement through dynamic sets. G Flip expanded internationally with their first North American headlining tour in 2023, supporting the album Drummer, which featured sold-out venues and showcased an evolution toward larger production setups with intensified percussion elements. Subsequent tours, including the 2025 Dream Ride Tour, continued this progression, with headlining dates at prominent venues such as the Ogden Theatre in on October 24, 2025, and the in on October 27, 2025. Live setlists have evolved to blend early hits like "About You" with newer tracks such as "Get Me Outta Here" and "," reflecting a shift from indie rock roots to broader pop-rock anthems performed with consistent high-energy delivery. These performances prioritize G Flip's drumming prowess, often incorporating extended solos and audience participation to maintain a raw, visceral connection.

Musical style, influences, and production techniques

G Flip's music fuses and genres, characterized by a rhythmic intensity driven by layered percussion that forms the structural backbone of tracks. This drum-centric approach reflects their proficiency as a , where beats not only propel momentum but also shape melodic phrasing and harmonic progression, creating a propulsive energy akin to live band dynamics. Key production techniques emphasize organic , with G Flip performing , guitar, bass, and keyboards to construct dense, self-contained arrangements that avoid reliance on pre-fabricated digital loops or samples. This hands-on method, often involving iterative layering of live takes, yields a raw, tactile sonics profile that prioritizes instrumental interplay over polished effects. Self-mixing elements further enable precise control over tones and spatial dynamics, transitioning from initial home-based sketches to refined studio outputs while preserving an unfiltered immediacy. Influences draw heavily from 1980s rock aesthetics, particularly Bruce Springsteen's use of relentless kick-drum patterns and expansive, narrative-driven rhythms, which G Flip emulates through analogous percussive motifs paired with subtle orchestral accents like . Additional drumming inspirations include punk-inflected precision from figures such as , contributing to the style's edged, high-energy pulse without veering into overt aggression. These elements combine to evoke a working-class rock ethos, adapted through contemporary indie sensibilities for broad accessibility.

Reception and impact

Critical reception and achievements

Commercial performance and chart success

G Flip's debut album About Us, released on August 30, 2019, peaked at number 6 on the Albums Chart, reflecting strong initial domestic traction driven by radio airplay of lead singles like "Killing My Time" and "Drink Too Much," both of which achieved platinum certification in .

In the U.S., G Flip achieved no entries but expanded commercially through touring, including a 25-city North American run in 2024 supporting Drummer, which sold out venues and correlated with increased streams for tracks like "Good Enough" exceeding 5 million. This live circuit success, timed post-album release, leveraged word-of-mouth and festival appearances to build U.S. equivalents without traditional radio dominance. Overall, G Flip's chart triumphs remain predominantly Australian-centric, with streams totaling in the tens of millions per major track but lacking verified RIAA milestones.

Criticisms of artistry and authenticity

Some online commentators, particularly in Australian forums, have dismissed G Flip's vocal abilities as subpar, with users on Reddit's r/triplej subreddit describing them as unable to "sing for shit" and labeling the overall musicianship as "average" at best, including drumming and singing skills. Similar sentiments portray live performances as "fake af rehearsal" and rehearsed acts lacking spontaneity, contributing to perceptions of inauthenticity in stage presence. Critics in these discussions often characterize G Flip's output as formulaic indie or generic rock, following "familiar" tropes without , with tracks deemed "boring generic rock by committee," "beige," and overproduced with repetitive lyrical themes centered on relationships. Detractors argue this results in hype over substance, positioning G Flip as "sanitised bullshit packaged as 'underground'" for younger audiences, or simply "bland-ish music" and "just generic pop" that feels forced rather than organically compelling. Debates persist regarding the sources of G Flip's prominence, with some attributing international breakthroughs to exposure via their relationship with and appearances tied to , rather than standalone musical merit; G Flip themselves acknowledged during a 2023 concert that portions of the audience likely discovered their work through this connection. Online skeptics have echoed this, questioning the extent of success driven by celebrity association and "trendy persona" over artistic depth, including unsubstantiated claims of industry favoritism like parental ties to .

Personal life

Early relationships

G Flip's early romantic partnerships prior to 2022 received minimal public attention, with details surfacing mainly through artistic expression rather than direct disclosures. Their debut album About Us, released on August 30, 2019, traces the trajectory of a key past relationship characterized by intense emotional highs, conflicts, and eventual dissolution, inspired by real-life heartbreak experienced during its creation. G Flip has described the songwriting as a outlet for relational turbulence, noting in interviews that the process unexpectedly prompted a brief with the ex-partner before the union ended permanently around late 2021. The identity of this partner remained undisclosed in public statements, and no verifiable evidence exists of formal , , or shared children during this era. Tracks such as "About You" (2018), which apathetically reflects on long-term relational doubts, exemplify how early music incorporated themes of strife without explicit biographical narration. G Flip maintained a low profile on personal matters amid their initial career ascent, focusing instead on releases that indirectly alluded to these experiences, consistent with their pre-fame emphasis on artistic autonomy over tabloid exposure.

Marriage to Chrishell Stause

G Flip and began dating in early 2022, following Stause's breakup with in November 2021; the pair had initially met at a in October 2021 when Stause served as G Flip's realtor for a potential move to . Their relationship became public during the May 2022 reunion special for season 5 of , where Stause confirmed the romance and described an immediate attraction despite her prior identification as straight. The couple married in a private ceremony in on May 3, 2023, officiated by an impersonator; the event was kept secret until announced by Stause on shortly thereafter. By that point, Stause had already moved G Flip into her home, a property partly funded by proceeds from selling her from . Stause and G Flip have maintained a tradition of annual vow renewals each July, with the 2024 ceremony held in coinciding with Stause's 43rd birthday, and the 2025 event featuring a medieval theme atop a tower in the . G Flip has stated that these renewals evolved from an initial intent to formalize their commitment yearly, potentially escalating in scale over time. The 12-year age difference—Stause born in 1981 and G Flip in 1993—drew online criticism, including trolling directed at Stause, whom she has publicly addressed as unwarranted. Some observers questioned the relationship's authenticity, speculating it served as a to boost visibility for both Stause's reality series and G Flip's music career, particularly given G Flip's appearances on .

IVF experiences and family aspirations

In 2025, G Flip detailed the challenges of undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with spouse to conceive a , noting the process had been "very grim" and included "sad and dark periods" amid repeated setbacks. G Flip emphasized mutual support during injections and emotional lows, with Stause praised for her resilience in handling the physical demands. As of September 2025, no viable pregnancy had resulted from their efforts, despite aspirations for parenthood expressed since their 2023 marriage. The couple's same-sex union requires donor sperm for fertilization, with one partner providing eggs and the other potentially carrying, complicating success rates empirically linked to age and fertility declines in women over 35—G Flip was 32 and Stause 44 at the outset. No confirmed plans for surrogacy or adoption have been publicly disclosed, leaving their family-building attempts centered on direct IVF trials.

Gender identity claims and public responses

G Flip, born Georgia Claire Flipo on July 13, 1994, as a biological female, publicly identified as non-binary and adopted they/them pronouns in June 2021, stating that this reflected their lifelong sense of gender fluidity without altering their core self. The announcement emphasized continuity, with Flipo noting, "I'm still the exact same person, non-binary is just the best way to explain who I am and how I've always felt, like a gender that doesn't exist." No public records confirm medical interventions such as hormone therapy or surgery to align physical sex characteristics with the non-binary identification, though Flipo has discussed experiencing gender dysphoria and ambivalence toward top surgery in a September 2025 interview tied to the album Dream Ride, describing oscillation in feelings without resolution. In the 2025 Dream Ride promotional discussions, Flipo linked themes of personal turmoil to , framing non-binary identity as a subjective response to internal discomfort rather than a biological shift, with self-reported fluidity persisting amid unchanged sex-based traits like reproductive . Skeptics, including commentators prioritizing empirical sex dimorphism, argue this represents declarative identity without causal alteration of immutable traits determined at birth, questioning the distinction between Flipo's pre- and post-announcement as of performative rather than substantive change. Public responses divided along ideological lines, with mainstream media and LGBTQ+ advocates offering affirmation, such as ABC Triple J and coverage portraying the identification as authentic self-discovery deserving validation. Conversely, online critics and biologically realist perspectives, including analyses, expressed skepticism over non-binary claims amid Flipo's feminine biological baseline and lack of transition, viewing it as potentially trend-influenced or inconsistent with -based realities.
