Transgender people are more than a political issue. We offer unique talents and gifts to the world. In my unprofessional opinion, here are my Top 10 transgender musicians. Give them a listen.
- Wendy Carlos: Carlos created soundtracks for movies like The Shining and A Clockwork Orange. Moreover, she shaped what has become electronic music.
- Laura Jane Grace: As the lead singer of Against Me! Grace made being trans punk rock and continues to make great music solo
- Ekko Astral: Jael Holzman shows the diversity of trans artists as a cutting-edge reporter takes the mic
- Claire Rousay: The primarily ambient artist has recently given voice to a searching soul
- Sophie: Sophie took the work of Carlos, spun it in the air, and shaped modern pop music.
- Arca: Arca built on the work of Carlos and Sophie with an experimental canvas
- Halsey: I have long been a fan of the non-binary artist, but the new album, The Great Impersonator, is a lifetime work
- June Jones: Australian artist whose songs of Home and Therapy speak to the journey of transformation
- Anohni: An operatic voice takes on issues of war, global warming, mass surveillance, and more
- Dillbilly: Hard to imagine a song or video that has moved me more than this one:
