As a music nerd, I'm all about broadening my musical horizons. I’d thought I share some interesting LGBTQ artists that have been making waves in 2018 from across a few genres that aren't necessarily your traditional R&B and Rap. These artists had a good 2019 with critic or commercial success, and considered to be flipping whatever their respective genre on its head. Some you're already familiar with.
I posted just snippets of their their musical sound below, don't be scared to click play and add on.
