What do you wear to the meeting that could reject your life's work?

HOVR joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about a singer-songwriter dream that stalled, coming out as non-binary, and carrying queer dance music into rooms that weren't built for it.

Raised by a music-teacher mother and classically trained on piano, HOVR moved to Berlin to study communications and sing sad songs in smoky cafés. It didn't land. They stopped making music for two years and DJed their own warm-ups at university parties. From there they built a decade-long career on the one thing the guitar never gave them: people coming up after the show to say the music made them cry.

We talk about the cease and desist that cost HOVER its E, the Floorplan track that pulled them out of tech house, how coming out made their music braver, and pitching their debut album Love Language in a glitter black dress. We also get into what it costs to speak up about queerphobia in dance music and where they draw the line on AI.

This is a conversation about identity and belonging, and about what changes once you stop wearing a costume.
