Zion Garcia is an artist we consider to be one of the most exciting and significant hip-hop talents to emerge from Sydney in recent years. His lyrical dexterity and clarity of artistic vision firmly places him in the top echelon of new school Australian hip hop.
Typifying an unstoppable new creative wave from Western Sydney, he’s almost entirely self-made. At just twenty-one years of age, he has already honed his chops as an MC, producer and filmmaker. His talents have been recognised by Redbull Music (‘The 25 best rappers under 25’), Vice Australia (‘Spotlight’), Acclaim Mag (Acclaim All-Stars 2023) and triple j (Hip Hop Show).
In this latest Live at Phoenix, Zion proves himself ready to take on 2024 in his first professionally documented live performance. Helming the cavernous chamber of The Nest rendered on camera in a striking monochrome Garcia, performs “HEART”, the infectiously joyous and triumphant single from his debut EP of last year.
