About

Babitha (think ‘Tabitha’ with a ‘B’) is the solo project of Imogen Grist – a multidisciplinary artist raised in country NSW to a backing track of Neil Young, ABBA and Fleetwood Mac.

Inspired by the archetypal ‘other woman’, Babitha’s brand of loaded yet languid alt-country ballads see guitar-laden tracks break ground beneath fables of escape and heartbreak. With soaring harmonies and lyrics that cut to the core, Babitha is equal parts vulnerable and evocative, commanding and detached. Her work evokes music’s golden years, yet feels critically of our time.

Since the release of her hit single ‘Get Away’ in 2020, Babitha has amassed close to 3 million streams, landed ‘Album of the Week’ on FBi Radio, 2SER and Edge Radio, rotation on ABC Country and college radio across America, and was listed in Double J and NME’s ‘Best Albums of 2023’. She has been nominated for an FBi SMAC Award, and was a finalist in this year’s APRA Professional Development Awards.
