Freak Daddy
https://freakdaddy.bandcamp.com/
Freak Daddy is a multi dimensional performance artist and the future of pop music. A transmasculine pioneer, his genre DarkNerve creates the soundtrack to his own artistic universe of Freak Daddy World. A futuristic, dystopian landscape of virtual reality and blasphemous rebellion. His forthcoming record S.G.S.M. (Sorry, god. Sorry, mom.) is slated for release in early 2022. “There is a long history of queer coded villains in pop culture and I wanted to reclaim the transphobic trope of the gender bending anti-hero.” - FREAK DADDYUriel Metzger (He/Him), the artist behind Freak Daddy, has been working in the music industry as a performer, producer and song writer since the age of 15 but this project is sure to be his magnum opus. His debut single Confetti, which highlights his struggle with gender norms, was featured on Episode 2 of The Sex Lives of College Girls on HBO MAX.

Jan Julius
https://janjulius.bandcamp.com/
Jan Julius is a non-binary hyperpop singer and producer from Portland, OR, subverting conventions of gender and genre in hard-hitting pop music that pairs detailed and aggressive production with richly emotional storytelling. They have brought their visceral live show to numerous venues around Portland, sharing stages with experimental electronic artists, club DJs, and pop singers alike. After self-releasing several EPs, they released their debut album, Meat Shot Idyllic, in June 2021 on Rhode Island label Noumenal Loom. A queer apocalypse of heavy dance beats, visceral sound design, and evocative lyrics, Meat Shot Idyllic shows Jan Julius celebrating the unstable queer utopias necessitated by life in the nihilistic dystopia of our capitalist present.
