In November 2018, Flipo was nominated for a J Award as Unearthed Artist of the Year and was the inaugural winner of the ARIA Emerging Artist Scholarship. Flipo's follow up track "Killing My Time" was released in May 2018. Pining international interest in their project, Flipo was subsequently invited to play their first ever solo show at SXSW in Austin, Texas the following month. Pitchfork named it "Best New Track" and the music video, filmed on their iPhone, was featured in YouTube's New Music Playlist. The song was officially released on 2 March 2018. In February 2018 they uploaded their debut single "About You" to Triple J Unearthed and that same day their track was premiered on Triple J. They said that they "spent most of 2017 holed up in their bedroom writing and recording" having previously performed in various different Melbourne music acts as a session drummer and occasional backup vocalist, including for the Melbourne band Empra.
Flipo has been playing drums since the age of nine, and percussion still forms a big part of their songwriting process despite now being a multi-instrumentalist.
