Zheani Isobel Sparkes (born 26 April 1993 in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian musician. After modelling as part of a DKNY campaign and installing a Melbourne art exhibition, she turned her attention to music and released six EPs between 2018 and 2023. She makes autobiographical music in a wide range of genres. One track, "Bring Wet Cunt", attracted attention after Triple J played the track uncensored. She also attracted attention after accusing Watkin Tudor Jones of abuse. Her unusual name (which she has had since birth) is a product of her father's interest in numerology and tarot. In June 2013, she was contacted by Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord and then repeatedly by the band's Watkin Tudor Jones; she went to Cape Town with him and subsequently joined the band as an assistant for part of their 2015 Australia tour. She modelled as part of an October 2014 Cara Delevingne collection for DKNY. In May 2017, Sparkes and her creative partner Mik Shida created a street art exhibition by stripping naked, covering themselves with blue paint, and leaving imprints on walls all over Melbourne. Around this time, she started making music as an outlet for what she wanted to say. Her first EP, Eight, was released in 2018 and recounted her experiences of poverty and foster care. Sparkes released the album The Line in March 2019, which Shaad D'Souza of The Fader described as "a raw and uncompromising EP of no-holds-barred noise rap and electronic abrasion".
