Jamaica Moana

Jamaica Moana is a cultural powerhouse. A rapper, songwriter, creative director, and ballroom icon, she’s shifting the landscape of music, fashion, and performance with unapologetic energy and razor-sharp vision. Proudly Māori (Ngāpuhi/Tainui) and Samoan, and repping Western Sydney (Dharwal land), Jamaica fuses rap, R&B, and soul with ancestral fire and fierce queer identity. Her sound hits hard, her presence hits harder.

In the ballroom scene, Jamaica isn’t just part of the movement—she leads it. As co-founder of The West Ball, and a resident commentator, she commands the floor and carves out space for queer, trans, and BIPOC creatives to express, heal, and own their power. She’s building stages where community shines and the next generation rises.

In fashion, Jamaica is a walking statement. She’s walked for avant-garde visionaries Nicol & Ford and Jordan Gogos, not just as a model—but as a muse. Her visual world is electric: bold, spiritual, gender-fluid, and unbothered by convention. She doesn’t follow trends—she sets them.

Jamaica Moana is more than an artist. She’s a movement. Untouchable, unstoppable, unforgettable.
