Hoodzy

With roots laying deep in New Zealand to reaching her birth place of the west coast of Australia, Hoodzy flows through like the sea breeze between the two countries. The 21yo MC boasts the skills and passion of a veteran with a fearless, youthful energy. At just 16, Hoodzy launched triple j’s new online series, Bars of Steel – showcasing her charm and confidence despite her little experience in the booth. From there, she performed her first ever gigs to sold out shows opening for Triple One, played her first festival at Perth’s Listen Out 2019, warmed up the stages for Horrorshow, Jesswar and Genesis Owusu, and featured on songs by Miiesha and Kobie Dee. Throughout 2021, Hoodzy spent most of her time growing as a person and growing as an artist. While the world experienced some of the strangest times, Hoodzy chose to absorb that strangeness and channel it through words, melodies and rhythms; preparing to unleash it all in the year we find ourselves now. This Feeling dropped in May and introduced us to the new Hoodzy sound, and like Hoodzy herself, the sound is part hip hop, part punk, part rave. It’s also just a small taste of what is to come. To put it simple and plain, Hoodzy best describes herself as “gay, brown skin & chasing the same dream even if the odds are already against me. I’ll never be ashamed of who I am. The world is mine. If you’re rocking with me, all love is for y’all”
