Rainbow Chan

Rainbow Chan is an award-winning vocalist, producer and multi-disciplinary artist who has built a reputation as one of the most innovative musicians 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 holds a mirror up to diasporic experiences, and also deeply personal tales of love and loss.

Chan’s highly anticipated EP "Stanley" was released on UK label, Eastern Margins, in November 2021. Her sophomore record “Pillar” (Independent, 2019) was feature album on community radio stations nationwide and was nominated for the Australian Music Prize.

Drawing on her Weitou ancestry (first settlers of Hong Kong), Chan is currently touring her theatrical stage show, “The Bridal Lament” following seasons at Arts House, Liveworks Festival and OzAsia. Drawing on her Weitou ancestry (first settlers of Hong Kong), Chan reimagines a Weitou ritual known as the bridal lament and brings to life intergenerational and cross-cultural perspectives on diasporic experiences and the complex history of Hong Kong, paying homage to ritual in a vibrant and dynamic world of projection, movement and colour, to be accompanied by forthcoming full-length album.
