ZIPPORAH - One Year, One Night at The Vanguard

ZIPPORAH is a Samu and Suy woman of Saibai Island, a Torres Strait Islander artist whose sound moves between alternative R&B, neo-soul and soul, weaving together contemporary influences with the stories, culture and connections that shape her identity.

Known for her captivating vocals, magnetic stage presence and emotionally rich songwriting, ZIPPORAH creates music that explores love, identity, self-expression and intergenerational connection. Her artistry is deeply personal, drawing from her Torres Strait Islander heritage and experiences of navigating the worlds around her.

With performances spanning Australia's biggest stadiums, triple j's Like A Version stage, WOMADelaide and the Sydney Opera House, ZIPPORAH continues to carve out a distinctive space within Australia's contemporary music landscape. Recently nominated for both the NSW Music Prize and FBi Radio's SMAC Awards, she is an exciting voice in Australia's evolving soul and R&B scene.

On 10 December, ZIPPORAH takes to the stage at The Vanguard for her first-ever headline show, marking one year since the release of her debut single. Accompanied by a band of world-class musicians, the evening promises a rich live experience celebrating the music, stories and artistry that have shaped her journey so far.

On support, vocalist and music curator SEANI, co-creator of Sultry & Sample, introduces Beat Mystique—a stripped-back live project rooted in hip hop, neo-soul, jazz and alternative R&B.

Each set becomes a journey shaped by the musicians, the audience and what happens between them on the night.
