Since the release of her debut single ‘Hilary Banks’ in 2021, Tāmaki Makaurau-based artist Jujulipps has been making waves in the Aotearoa rap scene. The rising star's mission is to remind her listeners that they are the main characters in their stories. As she puts it, "My ultimate goal is to empower my listeners to feel good about themselves, recognise their worth, and to be proud of who they are.”

With roots stretching across the African continent, Jujulipps was born in Cape Town, South Africa. She finds inspiration everywhere, particularly from the soulful sounds of Africa, the upbeat rhythms of Amapiano, and the powerful energy of hip-hop and afrobeat. "I am a child of the diaspora,” says Jujulipps, “and my music is a celebration of the richness and vibrancy of my motherland."

Jujulipps’ influences range from Leikeli47, Nicki Minaj, and Rico Nasty to Burna Boy, Sampa The Great, Arya Starr, Doechii, and Tkay Maidza.
