This week on Kickin’ It with Katija, I’m joined by one of the most powerful voices in Australian hip hop and soul — Grace Chia.

Born and raised in Tasmania, Grace has been breaking barriers in the scene with her fearless lyricism, soulful sound, and commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces for women in hip hop. Her latest album Undulation of a Healing Heart is a stunning journey through growth, identity, and self-discovery — blending poetry, hip hop, and soul in a way that’s uniquely her.

Recently awarded the Australian Women in Music Awards (Diversity in Music), Grace continues to lead with purpose — and she’s gearing up for her next big milestone with the fully funded, all-female showcase Culture of Queens in Tasmania.
