After stepping further into the hip-hop universe in 2019, with the trap-infused, ARIA-nominated “Awake”
Premiered on triple j Breakfast, “Shook” continues Tkay’s trajectory to stardom by remaining ahead of the curve at every turn. Finessed with razor-sharp production, Tkay oozes confidence with every spitfire rhyme as she dodges between eclectically layered beats while never faltering in her hook of infectious energy. The video, directed by Jenna Marsh (Beyonce, Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj), is filled with Missy Elliot tributes, fiercely authentic aesthetics and innate flow on an abandoned car yard backdrop, in which Tkay effortlessly claims the centre of attention, highlighting the everlasting effect our Queen of Hip-Hop has in leaving fans worldwide shook.
Emerging from Adelaide at just 17 years old, Tkay has become one of the most recognised names, faces and sounds in modern Australian hip-hop. From her critically acclaimed debut album TKAY to now, she remains on top by continuously expanding on her versatility. Mastering multiple genres, Tkay has captured audiences globally with her infectious singles, from the 2017 gold certified “MOB” to glistening “White Rose” which has since collected over 5 million streams. Keeping in the company of hip-hop’s greatest, she has pulled together a rolodex of sought after collaborators, including Run The Jewels’ Killer Mike, rap sensation Duckwrth and French producer extraordinaire Martin Solveig.

Beyond conquering every Australian festival of note from Splendour In the Grass to Falls Festival and Listen Out, Tkay has also firmly established herself overseas, winning the 2018 MTV European Music Award for Best Australian Act, collecting a nomination for a BET Award, performing at Governor’s Ball in NYC and recently supporting Princess Nokia on her European tour. Aside from conquering the music sphere, Tkay has firmly placed herself in the fashion world, from starting her own clothing label Last Year Was Weird, launching her “Awake” merchandise with tastemaker brand Depop and soundtracking Stella McCartney’s poignant fashion waste campaign. Securing icon status, Tkay has collaborated with some of the world’s most iconic brands, from fronting a national Nike campaign to working on a Mumm Champagne project alongside the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt.
Back today with the fiery and fierce “Shook”, Tkay Maidza is set to raise the bar for herself this coming year. Teasing fans worldwide of new music on the horizon, turn up to “Shook” as we prepare for more groundbreaking hip-hop from Tkay Maidza.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
