Technical Knockouts @ QAF 2019

Queer Arts Festival 2019

Electronic music. Performances by emerging artists from QAF's Technical Knockouts music lab, mentored by Kinnie Starr, DJ O Show and Tiffany Moses. .

About the artists:

Kinnie Starr is a genre-defying artist blazing her own influential trail. Entirely self-trained, Starr
moves from hip hop to art-pop, folk to spoken word to EDM with eclectic grace. Kinnie’s career
as singer-songwriter, spoken-word poet, Juno-Award-winning producer has taken her around
the world, but she is first and foremost an artist and activist. Her activism began before her
career in music as a visual artist, and her current visual work continues to touch on her areas of
interest: race, home, family and humanity.
