Rainbow Chan

Date TBA

Rainbow Chan is an award-winning vocalist, producer and multi-disciplinary artist based in Australia. Driven by a DIY spirit, Chan melds catchy melodies and off-kilter beats made up of field-recordings and found sounds. Both heartbreaking and tender, her idiosyncratic brand of pop reflects diasporic experiences and deeply personal tales of love and loss. She is currently writing her third studio album, drawing inspiration from her cultural heritage, family history and Hong Kong women’s wedding folk songs - a fading ritual known as bridal laments.

Chan’s highly anticipated EP "Stanley" was released on UK label, Eastern Margins (2021). Her sophomore record “Pillar” (Independent, 2019) was feature album on community radio stations nationwide and was nominated for the Australian Music Prize. Lifted from the EP "Fabrica" (Healthy Tapes, 2017), her single "Let Me" won the FBi SMAC Award for Best Song. In 2022, she won FBi Radio's SMAC "Artist of the Year" and was also recognised in the "40 under 40: Most Influential Asian Australians Award."
