Well it may be World War III thanks that d-bag in the White House, but we are determined to make 2020 the QUEEREST year of all even if we all go down in flames! We hear about Jonah's gaycation to Nicaragua and Columbia, discuss the royal lesbian wedding (#Krashlyn #KriegerGotaKeeper), the latest L Word Generation Q lesbo drama, and other queertertainment news. We then hear a little about one of Renessa's former lives with singing!
But on to the TRULY exciting part of this episode: Our guest interview this week is with the beautiful, skilled, and just generally super dope musician, producer, and DJ, Camila Grey. Jonah was out of the office for this one, but Renessa was so lucky to get Camila on the phone in between her touring commitments with Adam Lambert! We talk about her background in music—from attending Berklee College of Music, to working a stint in the music biz before she started focusing on playing, recording, and performing, her time with Leisha Hailey and their band Uh Huh Her, to where she is today (having worked with artists like Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, Big Black Delta, Tricky, Linda Perry, Kanye West, Hans Zimmer, and Wendy Melvoin), and a solo project in the works (BREAKING NEWS!). And we talk about coming out to religious parents, queer representation in music today, and staying curious and eager to learn new things to hone your craft.
Keep an eye out for Adam Lambert's upcoming Feel Something Foundation, which Camila will be serving on the board of! We'll post an update to social when that goes live : )
