FFLORA x Grace Chia debuted their powerful and emotional tribute to Palestine as part of Lutruwita's compilation album 'It's Not Complicated' featuring 40 Tasmanian artists joining force to raise money for PAZMA. The single was recorded at MONA's prestigious Frying Pan Studios and is consistently a crowd favourite in their live performances. After showcasing this song over the last year at festivals like MONA FOMA and a Festival Called Panama, the band are excited to officially launch the song and music video so that its message can be shared far and wide and connect to those who need to hear it.

FFLORA x Grace Chia is a collaboration between two established musical projects and features ten talented musicians joining forces to create gritty, intoxicating hip-hop and neo-soul. Brought together by their love of hard groove and meaningful lyrics, this group challenges, empowers and uplifts their audiences. Together, the ensemble have more than a decade's experience of writing, performing and leading projects.

Recently, St. Bedlam has expanded her creative pursuits with the launch of "Bedlam's Zinery," a shop for her self-published magazines & artworks. St.Bedlam is an advocate for those healing from complex trauma and living with mental illness.
