Here's what happens when you stop shrinking yourself…and find the audacity to take up space…
On this week's BabyGay™ Podcast, host PJ Brescia (they/them) sits down with @kaleenazanders (she/they) — powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, DJ, and producer redefining what house music can be. And when we tell you she's one of the best live artists/DJs out there…we're not joking! #fangirls
Kaleena shares her journey from growing up a jock in San Jose to gracing the stages of Coachella, EDC, Electric Forest, and Outside Lands. After years of keeping her identity quiet, she made a promise to herself this year: no more masking, no more shrinking. Because right now, queer people need each other louder than ever.
We talk about courage, intuition, and what it means to have the same audacity as the people running the world…and use it for good.
Kaleena is currently touring with GRiZ and on her first-ever headline run, the Anything Goes Tour. Stream her debut album out now: ”Anything Goes”
Coming out looks good on you!
