Georgia Barnes, known mononymously as Georgia, is an English record producer, songwriter, singer, rapper and drummer. The daughter of Leftfield cofounder Neil Barnes, Georgia began her music career as a drummer for artists such as Kwes and Kae Tempest.

She began her career as a singer and record producer with the release of her debut studio album Georgia (2015). Her second studio album Seeking Thrills was released in 2020, and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. Her third studio album Euphoric was released in 2023.

Early life

[edit]

Georgia Barnes was born in London; her father is Neil Barnes, the cofounder and keyboardist of English electronic music group Leftfield. As a child, Georgia was a footballer who had played in youth squads associated with Queens Park Rangers W.F.C.[2] and Arsenal W.F.C. She left football after the death of her coach, when she described things as getting "too intense".[3]

Barnes attended the BRIT School in the London Borough of Croydon, where she began playing the drums professionally.[3][4]

Career

[edit]

Georgia is signed to the label Domino.[5] In 2019, before the release of her second studio album Seeking Thrills, she performed at the Glastonbury Festival[6] and won the Association of Independent Music's One to Watch award in association with BBC Music Introducing.[7][8]

Musical style

[edit]

Vice have described Georgia's sound as "euphoric, late-night dance", while her 2015 self-titled album was compared to Missy Elliot and MIA.[9] Talking about her 2019 single "About Work the Dancefloor" with Sean Tayler from Futuremag Music, Georgia shared "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".[10]

Personal life

[edit]

In a 2019 interview with Billboard, Barnes discussed her decision to quit alcohol and become vegan.[11]
