The FBi 20: Rainbow Chan

FBi’s history with Rainbow Chan runs deep. We first met at a Music Open Day in July 2010, when she dropped a split single in a handmade CD cover to us. In 2011, she won FBi’s Northern Lights competition and we flew her to Reykjavik to play at Iceland Airwaves Festival. Five years later she released her debut album Spacings, earning her Album of the Week, a Record of the Year nomination at the FBi SMAC Awards, and FBi’s most played artist AND most played song of 2016. In 2017, she took out the FBi SMAC Award for Song of the Year with ‘Let Me’. Rainbow Chan is embedded deep in all corners of Sydney arts – aside from her main music project, she’s one half of techno duo DIN, and releases music as Chunyin, and she’s a visual artist too, taking home the FBi SMAC Award for Artist of the Year in 2022. You might have even heard her behind the mic, co-hosting our arts program Canvas a few years ago. Rainbow embodies Sydney music, art and culture – this city wouldn’t be the same without her, nor would FBi Radio.
