SEBii, kimj and Billionhappy are bringing Asia's underground internet rap scene to Australia for the very first time this May.
The SEBii, kimj & Billionhappy – Australia 2026 tour hits four Australian cities across 10 days, presented by TEG Dainty in association with AETERNA and Eastern Margins. All three sit at the intersection of underground rap, club music and internet culture, part of a generation that’s built international audiences entirely outside traditional industry pathways through SoundCloud uploads, streaming platforms and cross-border digital communities.
The run includes a free performance at Vivid Sydney’s Tumbalong Park on 29 May, as part of one of Australia’s biggest annual cultural festivals. Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth round out the remaining dates, with tickets on sale now via tegdainty.com.

Shanghai-born, New York-based SEBii is one of the most recognisable figures in the internet rap underground. His output runs on frenetic flows, distorted production and chaotic energy, and he’s amassed a cult following that stretches across the US, Asia and Europe. A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, he creates all his own album art and visuals and has built an entire universe around his music’s floating demon mascot VV. A former competitive Yu-Gi-Oh player who regularly references the card game in his lyrics, his grandmother handled cinematography on the clip for viral track Play Poker Remix.
Korean-American producer kimj — Jaehyun Kim from Busan — sits at the cutting edge of global electronic and alternative music. A member of multinational collective Fax Gang, his production credits span an unexpectedly wide range of collaborators including NBA YoungBoy, Rod Wave, glaive, 2hollis, nate sib and Effie. He’s played a central role in a growing movement of genre-bending music where hyperpop, club production and experimental electronic sound collide.
Billionhappy — Han Yi from Anhui in regional China — has emerged as a key figure in Shanghai’s underground scene. He leads Shabby Club, a collective of Chinese producers and rappers named for its phonetic resemblance to the Mandarin term “sha bi,” which roughly translates to “stupid.” His sound weaves melodic rap, emotional songwriting and internet-era production, pulling from everything from golden-era C-Pop to 鬼火 — China’s illegally modified scooter subculture. He recently collaborated with Australian producer Ninajirachi on the Eastern Margins single BiBi.
All three released a collaborative EP together in late 2025, 潮 (Chao), an eight-track project fusing EDM and hip-hop. The Australian tour was developed alongside AETERNA, a creative touring platform focused on introducing emerging global artists to new markets, and Eastern Margins, the London-based record label and cultural platform championing new voices across the Asian diaspora underground. Melbourne’s date at The Night Cat on 23 May is the only Victorian stop on the run.
