Chelsea Jane

After leaving school she began studying criminology at Bond University on the Gold Coast and it was here that she discovered the enjoyment of writing for the rap scene, with its distinctive chanted rhyming lyrics. Rap battles, a friendly "dissing" of an opponent and entertaining a crowd, a la Muhammad Ali, were Chelsea's way of getting known in the scene, and she has been a guest judge at rap battles in Sydney and Adelaide as well as travelling overseas to the US, Canada and the UK to connect with well-known artists. One of her breakthroughs came when she was visiting her brother Jack on the rodeo circuit in Canada. Hip hop supergroup ATLien Workshop weren't far away in Atlanta, so she flew down to write some verse with them, which was done in 20 minutes and then recorded. She's built on the national and international attention by being announced as the recipient of the 2013 Hilltop Hoods initiative, worth $10,000. The first female to win this prestige award for emerging rap artists, Chelsea has been given respect for her distinct tone and flow as well as her amazing wordsmith abilities. The award will help her make her first full-length solo CD and market it, and gives her legal advice as well.

Writing's very therapeutic, it's my way of relaxing. I've been told I don't sound how I look. People see a girl with pink hair and they think I'm innocent, but when I hear a beat, the demon comes out in me.

She said her father, Charleville identity Kevin "Blue" Bredhauer, was not "hip hop affiliated" but he fully supported everything she did.

He tells me I should find a boyfriend but do you know how hard it is to find someone who understands what I do.[4]

Born and bred out west, Chelsea moved to Toowoomba where she boarded at Downlands College for two and half years, before finishing high school at The Scots PGC College in Warwick. She was the first female to be given the award for emerging rap artists, cementing her ability and style as one to watch.[5]

Chelsea Jane's first demand of attention began international through her first recorded verse and collab on Atlanta's ATLien Workshop's “Enemy”. She is known in the battle scene for her involvement as a guest judge at ‘Got beef’ MC Rap battles in Sydney, Adelaide and guest appearances at the ‘King of the Dot’ world MC battles in Canada. Chelsea deliberately seeded connections with many artists throughout the US, Canada and UK. In 2013 Chelsea dropped her first EP Queen of the Hill in parallel to successfully taking out the 2013 Hilltop Hoods APRA Initiative as the first female emerging Hip Hop artist. Following a successful season Chelsea landed many support act shows including supporting established acts such as rappers The Game, Dizzy Wright, Hopsin, Mantra and The Tongue, also landing first female MC to perform at SPRUNG Hip Hop Festival.

On 4 May 2014, she released her single Where The Boys At available on ITunes.
