Brooke Candy w/ BbyAfricka & Tash Blake – 21+

An undisputed icon of the underground music, fashion, and queer art scenes, Brooke Candy is a sex-positive pop idol whose wide-ranging creative output revels in defiant glamour, embodying both speculative futures and über-romantic nostalgia. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Candy first gained notoriety from her work on Grimes’ 2012 music video “Genesis,” followed quickly by high-profile collaborations with such fellow iconoclasts as Charli XCX, Sia, Diplo, Lizzo, Pussy Riot, Sophie, Mykki Blanco, and countless more.

The multi-faceted, infinitely talented Candy has explored an array of inspired possibilities throughout her career, from styling music videos (including Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts” and David Guetta & Afrojack Ft. Charli XCX & French Montana’s “Dirty Sexy Money”) and teaching performing arts classes at New York University to collaborations with the Brooklyn Museum and Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and brand partnerships with MAC Cosmetics and Diesel.

Though Candy does give us amazing visuals, her work runs deeper. It also led her to dive deeper into feminism and advocating for sex workers. Candy is not only transparent about her sex-industry past, but also about her previous issues with drugs and mental health, topics she addresses in her first studio album Sexcorcism’s single and video, “Happy.

Now, with a decade of experience under Candy’s belt, she has a newfound zen-like perspective of independence as an artist and is excited to create more music dedicated to her femme/LGBTQ community.

Hailing from Inglewood, CA, Bbyafricka has been an iconic staple in the music and fashion culture for years. Her raw and authentic energy garnered the attention of many, including Saweetie and Lil Yachty, who have both hopped on tracks with her, as well as on the fashion side, as she was featured in magazines such as GALORE, Office, and PAPER. She has steadily increased her loyal fanbase, reaching into the dance world where her EDM song “Biggest Regret” has over 4M streams, and she has performed at Rolling Loud LA.

Tash Blake, a 21-year-old LA-based singer-songwriter, captivates with her sultry, provocative
music inspired by Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Kurt Cobain. Known for her bold performances,
she explores themes of loneliness and the “villain” persona. Tash’s debut single “Mannequin”
garnered over 3.4 million views, and her latest EP, Poster Girl, includes the single “LATEX,”
created in collaboration with producers Jenna Andrews and Stephen Kirk.
