Edit history

A Japanese concept meaning ‘a reason for being’, and in this case an Australian human known as Justine McInerney. IKIGAI is the comedian-turned singer’s new music love baby and go-by name. From ‘Disco Fanny’ to songs like ‘We are One’ this artist has been on a big journey of self growth these past twelve months, and she shares it all with us on her debut E.P Metanoia (due out for iTunes release Dec 3). Seven tracks of cosmic soul funk hip hop in a league of its own, with every song carrying the love frequency into your ear-holes. Empowering lyrics lift audiences, as they dance til there’s no tea left pouring out their spouts. With a deep, soulful voice, energetic performance and a spirit that speaks, IKIGAI has audiences vibing. With a career in stand-up comedy and the media, her stage presence and charisma are second-to-none. Wowing crowds with her beats, she’s known for her banter between songs. IKIGAI has performed at Rainbow Serpent, St Kilda Festival, Queenscliff Music
