10 LGBTQ+ Artists We’re Obsessed With Right Now
Grace Gaustad
“Instead of simply making a record, Grace Gaustad made her own world. The 19-year-old Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer magnifies her message on tape, on-screen, and beyond. After a lifetime obsessed with music, Grace first made waves with a 2018 piano and vocal take on Hozierâs âTake Me To Church.â Posting up 25 million-plus views, she carried this momentum into the Human EP before dropping her Welcome to Jupiter 1.0 EP in 2021.”
Limbo
“Limbo is an independent singer-songwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area who has been performing, composing, recording, producing, mixing and mastering her own songs since 2013. She is adept at fusing RnB and hip hop beats she creates with lo-fi sounds of dream pop, which turns out beguiling results. Influenced by Baths, Regina Spektor, Tennyson, and many other underground artists, she has mixed the echoes of their influence with her own inimitable style to create a unique sound that is all her own.”
Molly Moore
“For as much as New York-born and Los Angeles-based songstress Molly Mooreâs music speaks to a 5G generation, her straight-shooting lyrics, soulful timbre, and psychedelically spun style transcend eras. Mollyâs art quietly impacted pop from behind-the-scenes and in the spotlight. As a songwriter, sheâs written for multiplatinum pop superstar Jesse McCartney, K-pop phenomenon EXO, as well as Grammy-nominee, actress, and singer Lea Michele, and has composed childrenâs music for the Hasbro animated series Hanazuki.”
Ray Hodge
BIIANCO
“BIIANCO is the Duke and Duchess of a new generation of queer-femme chill-wave dream-pop, and reigning over the cis-male dominated LA music scene with the savage style mastery of a 90âs Italian Queens of Queens. BIIANCO multi-instrumentalist and producer, takes her art into her own clawsâ sharp as her tongueâ to transform heartbreaks to heavy beats and triumph to vocoder choirs. Itâs music to dance through trauma to. Itâs the soundtrack of a dying ego. And she does it all herself.”
Clozee
“Best known as CloZee, this Toulouse dwelling producer awakens the wanderer within. Orchestrated under the umbrella of modern electronic music, CloZeeâs sound can best be described as world bass. Drawing inspiration from her frequent travels and subsequent explosive performances across the globe, the multidimensional musician casts a wide net that draws listeners in from all walks of life. The 2015 release of CloZeeâs breakthrough single âKotoâ marked the beginning of her legacy. Capitalizing on the acclaimed introduction, her debut album Evasion sent ripples throughout the electronic music industry, cementing her as a modern champion of genre-bending bass.”
Ness Heads
âNess Heads is a rapper based out of Chicago whoâs live sets involve a variety of her own releases and unreleased musicâŚÂ Ness spends every day working on writing and recording new music. Ness works hand in hand with her producer, Drew Sarno, to develop unique styles and sounds. Leaning more towards an electro/hip hop sound, Ness has used her creativity to think outside the box.â
LEXXE
“Itâs not everyday a classically trained ballerina sets out to be a punk styled, 80s inspired pop singer. With artistic authenticity oozing out of everything she does, LEXXE is a breath of fresh air with a raw story to tell and refreshing music to share.”
Onsen
“Onsen is the project of LA-based musician Drew Straus. While it began as experimental bedroom pop, Onsen expanded to incorporate intricate vocal harmonies, lush electronics, and strange instruments. Straus explores everyday questions of love and self doubt within a cinematic musical world and with a love of language and poetry.”
Dayvia
“Brazen. Raw. Relatable. This is how fans describe Dayvia (Day-vee-ay). Her music highlights lifeâs challenges, the weight of vulnerability, and human capacities to love and heal spiritually… Dayviaâs sound is mellow and controlled. An earthy alto, her bold lyrics are subtle and emotional, comprising topics many artists are hesitant to approach. She succeeds in weaving complex stories into haunting melodies that leave listeners anticipating more. “
