Artist

From the underground hip-hop/RnB scene of Western Sydney A.GIRL has emerged into national recognition with a swag of raw talent, attention-grabbing moments of musical brilliance and a sing-rap style that is uniquely hers. Her live performances with her full band are a roller coaster ride of spitting bars, vocal virtuosity rarely seen by a rapper, and spoken word poetry that grabs your attention from the first line. A.GIRL is the family nickname given to this 22 year old artist – real name Hinenuiterangi Tairua – a proud Maori woman raised in West Sydney. She was the winner of Next Big Thing at the FBi Awards, winner of triple j Unearthed’s festival slot at Listen Out, and was tipped as a rising star by UK’s Wonderland magazine.
