Vv Pete at Mohawk Indoor
This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Thursday, March 13 at Mohawk Indoor
Without exaggeration - Vv Pete is the future. With her unique fusion of sharp rap hooks, heavy club beats & global dance music, Vv Pete has defined her place as a one-of-a-kind, infectious, & vital face of Australia’s new wave of rap via global club music. The Sudanese-Australian rap artist has made waves with her singles 'Bussit', 'Frauds', 'Jordan1s' and 'Bacardi Papi' - solidifying themselves as instant classics, played across family cultural events & fashion week alike. Working with long time collaborator UTILITY & international producers Kelman Duran (US), Brodinski (FR), Clementaum (BR), Logic1000 (EU), and Effy’s rework of ‘Mashallah’ hitting Boiler Room sets globally, is just the start. Vv’s latest single - the Durban Gqom inspired ‘Wassa’ (feat. Formation Boyz) - making it’s way from Sydney to Africa to UK, with a recent SZA co-sign is fast becoming an iconic statement preceding her debut mixtape ‘Varvie World’. Gracing Australia's major stages including Sydney Opera House, Listen Out AU, Promiseland Festival, Dark Mofo, & hyping crowds supporting Jay1 (UK) and Denzel Curry (US) on their AU tours, & 'Varvie World' on the horizon- Vv Pete isn’t running, she’s sprinting.
