BARKAA

Heads up: BARKAA is playing the opening night of the festival at Solbar.

At a time of uncertainty, BARKAA’s debut proved to be the shake-up the Australian music scene needed.

Taking her first steps forward as an artist releasing music in 2020, BARKAA served an introduction with impact — an artistic vision and handle on storytelling that was unshakably confident and honest.

In a short period of time, the Malyangapa, Barkindji woman became one of Australia’s most exciting new hip-hop artists — her voice balancing unbridled passion with an aggression the industry had previously side-stepped with care. BARKAA’s impact from the start established her as not just an artist to watch, but one to immediately respect and expect more from.

In 2025, BARKAA is set to embark on the next phase of her creative journey. With the power and spirit of her ancestors innately connected to her own ambition and drive, BARKAA re-emerges into the spotlight with new fervour and inspirations to pour into her craft.
