Hi! I just started learning Chinese, and I was wondering if you had any recs of artists/songs that are lgbtq/non-heteronormative themed?

Also thanks for posting ✨, love your blog

Hi there, thank you for getting in touch!  =D

Because I don’t read/understand Chinese, I never know if a song’s lyrical content has those kinds of themes (unless someone tells me / or I read about it), but I can recommend some artists:

Guitarist 芮秋 Rachel Hsu from P!SCO is transgender, and the band is definitely supportive of lgbtq issues.  Rachel has been very open about her experience.  

LEZS女人國 Magazine (www.lezsmeeting.com) frequently interviews/profiles musicians, (including Rachel Hsu HERE), but they don’t only feature lesbians in the magazine.

Singer-songwriter-bandleader Enno Cheng 鄭宜農 came out as lesbian in early 2016, and was featured in LEZS issue 21 later that year.   Video promo HERE.

Denise Ho / HOCC 何韻詩 is a Cantopop / indie star from Hong Kong, and a lesbian icon. 

HK indie singer-songwriter Ellen Joyce Loo 盧凱彤 came out as lesbian in 2017. She was profiled in LEZS in spring of 2018; tragically, she committed suicide later that year.  (She had gone public about her bipolar disorder)

HUSH aka Hush Chen (陳家偉) is the only male TW singer-songwriter that I know is gay.  

Let’s hear an Enno Cheng song from 2017 that featured a guest vocal by Ellen Loo, this is so sad and beautiful:

Highlights from night 1 of 陳綺貞 Cheer Chen’s 3 night stand at Taipei Arena.  Do you have your tickets for Saturday & Sunday?

Guitars, drums, percussion, keys, bass, and a string section. Amazing visuals on the back screen, a moving lighting truss, and lots of attention to small details, like Cheer’s guitars matching her clothing.   =D

I’m so impressed with the songs I’ve heard from 沙發海 Sofa Sea, not to mention how good the MVs are:

That rectangular truss lowers / moves diagonally for stunning effect!

I think this is a song that goes with a new video game (?) called Raid on Takao, and there is a crowdfunding happening over at zeczec to support the game. (8 days left in the campaign, and they’ve blown way past their goal)
