Georgia Claire Flipo popularly known as G Fip was born in Melbourne, Australia.
G Flip remembers acquiring their first drum equipment when he was nine years old, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
“I got a tiny blue drumkit from my uncle… They added, “I tried to be brave and not weep, but I was so delighted I got a drumkit that I went to the bathroom by myself and cried a little bit.”
According to G Flip, they started writing songs when they were 14 years old. “It was all about break-ups and people I loved who didn’t love me,” they explained.
G Flip joined the Melbourne band EMPRA as a drummer when he was 19 years old. According to ABC, when the band broke up in 2017, G Flip worked hard to master the abilities he needed to launch a solo career.
G Flip supported themselves during their year-long journey to become a music producer by teaching drums, according to ABC.
G Flip released their first-ever solo music, “Around You,” about a year after they began the process. It was an instant hit, earning Pitchfork’s Best New Track award.
It was defined as an “anthem of unspecific longing and ambivalence” by the music newspaper.
G Flip released their debut album a year after “About You.” According to Pile Rats, the record is about G Flip’s turbulent relationship with a lover.
“We fought and were really insane.” G Flip told Pile Rats, “We’re both creative, elaborate, and dramatic.”
