A.GIRL is the family nickname given to Australian rapper/singer Hinenuiterangi Tairua. After the release of just three tracks she won Next Big Thing at the FBi Awards, won triple j Unearthed’s festival slot at Listen Out, was tipped as a rising star by UK’s Wonderland Mag and “one to watch” by Ticketmaster.
Raised in West Sydney, A.GIRL calls Australia home but the connection to her family’s Maori homeland of Te Hapua in New Zealand runs deep. Effortlessly switching between heavy bars and melodic r&b/soul with an effortless vocal flow and sing-rap style, A.GIRL's versatility on the mic can be breathtaking. She has flexed her rap skills with acclaimed feature performances on triple j’s Like A Version, triple j’s Bars of Steel, and Red Bull 64 Bars while also showcasing her soulful singing voice at recent live shows.
