Sydney-based artist Grid unveils a pop project unlike any other. With years of DJing and classical training under her belt, Grid brings together a mix of influences: think Tame Impala’s emotive psych-pop meets a touch of Imogen Heap’s alt sensibilities. While the production draws from an eclectic palette, spanning classical arrangements to 90s electronic pioneers like Massive Attack, the result never feels derivative or scattered. Instead, Grid demonstrates a remarkable ability to synthesize these influences into something distinctly her own.

Formerly known as Griddy, she has shared the stage with the likes of DJ BORING, honeyluv and Subjoi, headlined MVMNT Perth, as well as performed at major festivals Wine Machine and Here Comes The Sun. The inception of Grid came soon after teaming up with KLP in 2024 as a recipient of APRA AMCOS’ 23% program. Grid’s releases have since earned the support of 2SER, SYN, FBi, Inner FM, Radio Adelaide, JOY and RTR, as well as Happy Mag and Good Call Live. Happy Mag described Grid’s work as “both familiar and forward-looking, like you’re hearing pop evolve in real time.”
