Trans Singer Resource

Greetings all!

I am creating this post so that, for those who are interested, there is a list of trans singers and possibly links to their Youtube videos.

I love music, of all genres and languages. I love many many many singers. However, the inspiration I found, seeing other trans singers, hearing their voices, seeing their success, and adoring fans... it all inspired me. It showed me that I too can become the person I want to be. I can be successful. I can be accepted. I NEEDED trans role models in my life, and sadly there are no Big Broghters/Big Sisters for trans people.

Back when I started my transition the internet was a different place. There was TS roadmap... and don't get me wrong, I love Calpernia Addams... but the whole site was dedicated to selling you some very important information you NEEDED TO LIVE your new life as a new person at a high price. There were forums... and they were often vandalized and attacked. It wasn't as safe as it is here. The members welcomed you with open arms but... the board itself was full of adult content, members put down other members in petty attemtps to feel better about themselves I guess... and so I turned to youtube. I have lived in a small town in Cali and a small town in Arkansas (yuck) for the past 11 years... These videos lead me to the only living source of positive TS role models I had. A source of inspiration, self confidence, and something to aspire to be... as song has always been in my heart and soul, and puberty nearly robbed me of my singing voice.

Many of them are Foreign Language and most of them are Pop Music. Please refrain from criticism as to genre... I understand you may not like this type of music but you don't need to insult it. I won't be insulting the bands you listen to so please do the same favour here for all interested parties... These are the TS singers I know about. I hope if anyone has others to add they will add them. The singers I follow are MtF but I know there are some amazing FtM singers as well and so I hope people will share links and info about them as well :)

Lets support our Trans entertainers in the world! Even if we don't care for their voice, speak their language, don't appreciate their musical style, humour, etc, let us tell them good work! Please keep it up for future generations! Please continue to shine a positive light on our people!

Now for my list - (Under construction)

Namoli Brennet: A MtF American Folksinger! www.namolibrennet.com Namoli often sings at pride festivals across the country, and while I do not know too much about her, the few songs I have listened to are very profound.

x_x I just wanted to post links... not videos... oy...

Harisu: A South Korean MtF pop singer, model and actress! Her beauty and talent as both a singer and dancer are what inspired me to pursue transition the first time, and the second time. Harisu is more than an entertainer, She is a Trans, Gay, Human rights activist in her native country and throughout asia. She is only the second Trans person to legally have her gender changed in her country and the first to marry! She has opened an orphanage because Korea refuses to allow Harisu and her husband to adopt. She opened a night club called Mix Trans after many LGBT entertainers in Korea commited suicide in protest to the discrimination they faced due to Korea's extremely conservative culture. Mix Trans is a place where people from the LGBT community can gather in peace and acceptance in Korea. She is also noted for helping a young chinese MtF pay for her GRS. I could go on and on about Harisu but if you want to know more you can PM me or do the research yourself. For now, enjoy the videos! Listed in order of release date.

Ne Angely: A MtF Pop duet from the Ukraine. Very Cher-esque vocally. It is hard to find much info on them, however despite fading from view they remain in the spotlight in their native country and continue to release new albums. I have read their songs are in Russian? They once did a song together with Dana International. If anyone has more to add about them I would love to know.

Lady: A MtF Pop Group from South Korea. Following Harisu leaving her major record label to found her own company and produce her own music, her original label commisioned a search to create a new MtF girl group. Unfortunately Lady did not fare well, their first album being remixes of the same 3 tracks was released in Korea and Thailand with little success and in 2009 the group officially disbanded.

Venus Flytrap: A pop group of MtF "Katoey" From Thailand. Venus Flytrap was formed by Sony in response to the Korean group Lady. The original five girls remained active for a few years but eventually two left the group. A reality television show called "Search for the missing puzzle" was filmed in which the remaining members found new girls to replace the two who had left. Despite the addition of some incredible talent to the group they have since faded from the spotlight. Four members continue to perform live shows at film openings and other events after their fifth was in a near fatal motorcycle accident and had to take a leave from the group to recover.

Kim Petras: Formerly considered the worlds youngest post op MtF at 16, though she now has competition for this title down in Mexico. She hails from Germany and was discovered after she posted videos of herself singing on youtube. Her videos are in english. She is still very new and so where she will go and what she will do remains to be seen.

Unfortunately the only others I know of are not as widely popular or well known and those listed about, but videos existed on youtube last time I searched for them and they once had pages on myspace...

Nikka: Another talented pop singer, MtF from Israel.

Jouel: A nightclub performer and house music singer from Israel.

Aderet: Another nightclub and house music singer from... Israel :)

I hope someone here finds this list helpful. Those who watch the videos I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. Please add any videos, info, news about new trans singers etc here!

Risa,

Thank you so much for this post. These ladies are inspirational and talented. If you would like to read as well as listen, then might I suggest you go to Dr. Lynn Conway's site and you will find a link to "Transexual Successes" these are trans ladies who have had a successful transition and have a successful career and/or home life. I find these very uplifting, as there is an airline pilot who made the transition. I am a corporate pilot, myself and hope to transition on my next job.

I was just thinking about that pilot and how lifetime should do a movie on her yesterday! Waaaaaay back when I first started transitioning I found Lynn Conways site and read that story. I am pretty sure it was also she who introduced me to Harisu and Lady. You are right her site has many inspirational stories. I should look it up again. Thank You! Its been years since I have visited it. Need to refresh my memory. :)

      Had a customer bring in her Subie for struts. I ordered fronts. later yesterday, the boss called me into the shop. the proceeds to say I ordered the wrong ones, the fronts instead of rears. Then today I got looking I did order the right ones the first time. All the paper work that I have says front even the last work order said fronts. I told the other boss. So, Have I gotten a sorry from the boss. Ha, ha, not yet. I am doubting I will ever get one.   Oh, well. life goes on.   Kymmie

      While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food.    Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us.

      To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem.  I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface.  There's plenty.  "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control.   As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around.  Asphalt is not a great material, really.  It can also be recycled somewhat and used again.  Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads.  But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved.  Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud.  Same in many "developing" nations.  Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it.  Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation.  It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California.     I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control.  Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same.  Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form.

      The months of June has already been planned out for me with only minimal time for sleep between the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles and the various communities around me that are in the service area of the LGBTQ  Center I was on the Board of Directors of that are having Pride Events, both LGBTQ Pride and Trans Pride stand alone events.

      Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P

      I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to.  They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts.  They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that.  I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors.  I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that.   I really haven't watched TV since the 80's.  I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets.  From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself.  After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering.  I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries.   The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it?  There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up.  If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs?  We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world.  We took material from those environments.  What do we do now?  How long can it last?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. 
    • Ivy
      I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves.     And what about threats of violence?  Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom?  Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence?  I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you."   Or spreading lies?  (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth.   Censoring books in schools?  That was fine until the bible was included.  (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place.  You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited?  Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn?

      I have noticed when anyone speaks against their though process they don't like it no matter what sided. Republicans are quick to defend Trump when he's not professional and treats his employees like crap. One employee didn't get paid at all and then he had the nerve to say that he would sue the worker. He already has a model as his wife and still goes after other women. Biden gets lost quicker than a 2nd Lieutenant gets lost at land navigation. Not to mention his open border policy which is flooding the country and can't even take care of the American citizens that we have now. I could go on about both sides. I personally don't get mad at anything someone says to me. I know it's not true so I'm over it before it even starts. You have to have thick skin.

      That's really cool, actually, and I don't even wear make-up :o

      If it makes you feel better, I had a 41 2 weeks before I graduated highschool, and ended up getting honours because my teacher was awesome and let me turn in everything I was missing in one night. I believe in you!

      For some people, diversity of thought is okay as long as you agree with them.  I have noticed this on both sides.  Yesterday I got cussed out on FB for advocating the rule of law, which I thought an innocuous thing to advocate, because the danger a certain alleged totalitarian poses to our country.  So we should throw out the law to protect the law in the view of this person.  For that I was greeted with a long stream of obscenity.  The cussing poster claims to be Republican, which is supposed to be all MAGA and right wing and all and law and order.  Strange.   I don't think I have been cussed out by someone on the left.  I have been insulted in knowledge and intelligence and worship of Trump (which is false) but not directly cussed out.  And they get bent out of shape badly if you disagree with them, typically. Come to think of it, I have been.  Disagreeing with someone apparently is the worst thing you can do to them, invalidating their identity or something.   There is REAL diversity on this forum, and for the most part we get along.  Even if I were not dealing with trans stuff, it would be attractive that way.
