#HUSH aka Hush Chen (陳家偉

[fyeahcindie]

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:
