LYRICAL INTAKE

Lyrical Intake is a live showcase curated by four emerging Melbourne artists ACP, Jordz, Kiid Koda, and M4RTHA bringing together lyricism, sound, and community on one stage.

This special event marks a collaboration with The GRID Series, a Melbourne-based artist development organisation supporting musicians from the outer suburbs through mentoring, song development, recording, visual storytelling, and live performance opportunities. Through this collaboration, Lyrical Intake highlights artists currently engaged in a carefully curated creative journey focused on growth, connection, and artistic integrity.

Across the night, audiences will experience genre-blending performances spanning hip-hop, electronic, R&B, soul, and experimental sounds — each artist presenting work that reflects their unique story, culture, and creative vision.

🎟 All are welcome.

Come discover new music, support local talent, and be part of a space built on collaboration, expression, and community.
