Zone 2 brings the sounds the underground in to the heart of Brunswick for this special showcase event, featuring 4 of the most exciting artists in Melbourne who are smashing through the stratosphere of artistic and sonic expression.

Hailing from all corners of the outer metro regions of Melbourne, each of these artists have been burning bright in their own communities, sharpening their game and knocking on the door for the moment to bring that energy to the inner city music eco-system.

Presented by GRID Series, the program features:

Srirachi

Srirachi's artistry embodies her driven ambition to be a voice that is heard. As a first generation female Vietnamese-Australian, she is proudly determined to bring a fresh face to the Melbourne music scene. Not afraid to push boundaries, just y'all wait and see...

Manny Lado

One part of underground movement Bay City Collective, Manny Lado went from freestyling in a friend’s kitchen, to working with major music icons  including Ecca Vandal and KidNot?? That vibe is one of a kind.

Jacki Tut

Jacki Tut is a South-Sudanese Australian artist from deep in Melbourne’s South-East suburbs. Not seeing herself as belonging to any single genre, Jacki instead moves through RnB, Soul and Hip-Hop to cultivate her sound. Jacki’s often somber textured songs are guided by her blunt lyrical prowess, drawing inspiration from her experiences of navigating young adulthood

Rjayvida

An indie hip-hop artist / producer from Melbourne Australia. With an underdog mentality, a versatile arsenal of flows, and a passionate D.I.Y. attitude, Rjayvida embarks on a journey to make his presence felt throughout the rap game of Australia!
