Barkaa (born 1995 as Chloe Quayle), styled BARKAA, is an Australian rapper and musician, and is a Malyangapa and Barkindji woman.
In September 2020, GQ Magazine dubbed her "the new matriarch of Australian rap".[1][2] and in 2020, Triple J listed her as one of the top 5 female rappers in Australia.[3]
Early life
Barkaa was born as Chloe Quayle in 1995.[4] Her mother was one of the Stolen Generations, and she had an uncle who died in police custody.[5] She lived in the western Sydney suburb of Merrylands as a child. She was known for performing rap at high school, and entered rap competitions in Blacktown.[4] She is a Malyangapa and Barkindji woman.[6]
Career
Barkaa takes her name from the Barkindji word for the Darling River,[5] and says that she feels very honoured to have been given permission to use this name to represent her people.[7] Her music reflects her experiences with incarceration, child removal and addiction, with much of it overtly political; she has drawn from the words of Shareena Clanton and Rosalie Kunoth-Monks in her songs.[5]
She first performed in front of an audience in 2019, at a Klub Koori event.[5]
She released her debut single, "For My Tittas", in March 2020.[8][9] Her song "Our Lives Matter", released in June 2020,[10] became the unofficial anthem for the Black Lives Matter movement in Australia.[5] She has collaborated with DOBBY ("I Can't Breathe"[1]) and Electric Fields, and has performed at the Sydney Opera House,[7] Enmore Theatre in Sydney and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne.[1]
As of November 2021 Barkaa is signed to Bad Apples Music, founded by Briggs.[5]
Her debut album was Blak Matriarchy, so named "in honour of powerful First Nations women who've paved the way for future generations", including her mother.[8] The song "King Brown", which she says is about a "shitty ex" is on the album.[5] The album was produced by jayteehazard.[11] The Blak Matriarchy EP begins with a sample of actress Shareena Clanton.[11]
Barkaa performed at the Paartjima festival on the 2022 Easter weekend in Alice Springs.[7]
Personal life
Barkaa grew up with a single mother.[11] She was addicted to methamphetamine as a teenager, and spent three periods in juvenile detention or prison, where she gave birth to her third child, a son, in around 2016. She has been free of drugs since then, and has her children back. Her daughter Alinta often performs with her.[5]
