Biography

Georgia (born Georgia Barnes) is a British electronic music producer and singer.

As a child, Barnes played football for QPR and Arsenal Ladies after being scouted at the age of 8. Her father is Neil Barnes from the group Leftfield, and Georgia has previously been a drummer for Kate Tempest and Kwes. Georgia was noted as One to Watch by The Guardian for her debut album in 2015.

Georgia is published by the label Domino. In 2018 she released the song 'Started Out'. In 2019 she performed at the Glastonbury Festival and won the Association of Independent Music's One to Watch award in association with BBC Music Introducing.

Vice have described her sound as 'euphoric, late-night dance', while her 2015 self-titled album was compared to Missy Elliot and MIA. Talking about her 2019 single 'About Work the Dancefloor', Georgia told an interviewer that "I made this song after a weekend in Berlin entirely dancing in a few clubs and I realised how important the dancefloor is to people to give them a certain relief from their everyday activities".

In an interview with Billboard, she discussed her decision to quit alcohol and become vegan.
