Out Friday June 28, Pillar is a 10-track masterpiece that culminates Rainbow’s years of expertise across composition, songwriting & production, finding the sweet spot where her many influences intersect.

Developing a deep understanding and love for the intersection of pop and electronic music early in her career, Rainbow sent shockwaves through the scene with her first album Spacings and follow up EP Fabrica. Both releases found critical acclaim within community radio spheres, having been chosen as feature album across FBi Radio, Radio Adelaide and RTRFM, making her FBi Radio’s Most Played Artist of 2016 and winner of the FBi SMAC Award for Best Song of the Year for “Let Me”, as well as nominations for Best Live Act, Record of The Year and AIR Best Dance/Electronic Album.
Always pushing the boundaries, Rainbow Chan has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most unique artists with a defined sonic identity, drawing on vibrant aesthetics, a deep understanding of pop conventions and continuous celebration of her Chinese heritage.
