BIO
Hi-Energy Punk Disco Queen Gaff E transcends genres flying her own divine style. Her radical performances are a wild, carnal, hallucinogenic, activating trip!
A unique artist, Gaff E brings bold individuality and vibrant colour to every stage she sets foot on, and every camera that captures her authentic style. Gaff E is a shameless queer wild woman and chameleon of style liberating bodies globally. Showing others an alternative way; their own way, to express themselves and how to play.
Gaff E’s passion for challenges and collaborative projects has cast her on a continuous international tour of creativity – DJing, modeling, styling, performing, dancing, directing, and producing subversive, psychedelic, empowering electronic music with teeth and claws.
Classically trained as a pianist, violist, and saxophonist, today Gaff E expresses her musical talent through DJing (playing disco, italo, funk and soul), self-directed music videos, performances with her band MEGA Ω MEGA, and the MC Gaff E show which blends musical wit with high energy athleticism for a truly unforgettable entertainment experience.

Inspired by colourful artists, traditional global textiles, exotic lands, tribes, and jungle animals, Gaff E is always cloaked in wild colours and creating art in her mind. Gaff E lives and breathes by the Frank Zappa philosophy “A mind is a parachute. It doesn’t work if it is not open.” The depth and breadth of her performance portfolio is evidence of how strongly this belief shapes her art.
Gaff E thrives on sharing luscious performances and cosmic music to connect people with their individuality and freedom with a supreme and individual sense of style and fashion, she is ever-evolving and on the edge – using the dress-how-you-feel mantra.
Gaff E has a new live with the soon to be released album GET REAL and is currently touring her extravaganza show with My Bad Sister & Andrea Noce. POW!
Betty Grumble: unapologetic in her bodily animal energy, Gaff E is as infamous as she is dedicated to colour and female vibrance. Unparalleled in her shape shifting collaborative energy, she is a dream artist and generator of surreal, potent art.
Sue Kreitzman: Gaff E is my fierce, brave young friend. My feral cat, my ferocious feminist performance artist, my fearless and wild connection to the world of youth and chaotic creativity.
