Gaffy Gaffiero

Despite having been born in Brisbane, “I am birthing and dying all day every day,” explains the artist known as Gaffy Gaffiero. Having learned to play three instruments and perform on stage by the age of six, creating always just came naturally to the queer artist. Gaffiero talks about breaking out on the arts scene at the age of 21 like “I’d forgotten how good this feels! RELEASE! I’ve been creating pretty much since I was born so why stop now!” Through performance, dance and music the artist shines, and is always open to learning new skills along the way. Gaffy’s main message is “Be wild, free, have no fear, follow your instinct, less machines, more action, more vibe, live in the moment and most importantly…BE YOURSELF!” Touring is a big aspect of the artist’s life, which includes many a collaboration with other queer, cosmic artists. Nine months in Europe (based in Berlin) and three in Australia dictate Gaffy’s creative flow creating and touring. “I have no limits sooo… FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT I say!” Current projects include a sick new Italo disco track with the homie Surf Dancer for Gaffy’s solo show, new material for the live project MEGA Ω MEGA (with the sista Ylva Falk), collaborations with super twin duo MY BAD SISTER, new videos, a new album and an on-going styling vision with Irish acrobatic comedy duo Lords of Strut. This October/November, watch out for Gaffy on tour in Europe before the artist leaves for Australia in January.
