Being Q***r **IN GENERAL** Should Also Not Be A Death Sentence

Many aspects of the ‘80s and ‘90s waves of popular blockbuster boy bands have found their way into this new wave of popularity; gigantic worldwide tours, upbeat hit songs and hypercharged female fan bases. But there’s one relic from the heyday of boy bands that I’m not interested in seeing a...

You just heard Jared Gelman on Emoji Pop!

"I think the political climate has left non-cis, white, straight males from all walks of life hyper-aware of what’s at stake if we don’t fight to prove our existence and worth. The femme identity is an act of resistance in and of itself, because by refusing to conform to unfair heteropatriarchal standards, we combat oppression and misogyny. Repressing femininity means admitting to others that there is something to suppress in the first place. Historically, it always takes the most extreme people to normalize all the beautiful shades of q***r in between. We aren’t going anywhere and we will be seen, not silenced."

You never know the power of a good deed. For eccentric pop singer Jared Gelman, offering his time slot to a fellow tanning salon patron resulted a music video for his femme anthem “Never Know What It’s Like,” out today.

That’s it. RALPH has gone and forced me to make February 18th’s show all Canadian artists. Do you hear that voice?!? It’s definitely my hope and desire to get her to Burlington to premiere her song “Evergreen” which she told me she wrote in the Queen City. And obviously see her perform live. Check it >>

So excited for this weekend’s show! Premiering some new music from an up-and-coming local pop singer-songwriter...take that, Super Bowl.

Sunday night on Emoji Pop: Shawn Corey returns as co-host and special guest Jeremy Brotz (Xynz) will stop by to give the radio premiere of his just released single, “A Perfect Storm”
Xynz is an up-and-coming Burlington singer-songwriter who, at the age of 7, penned his first song, "If you're feelin happy, let it show! If you're feelin happy, let it grow!" It was not good. But, he stuck with it and now, at age 19, he has released his first single, "A Perfect Storm." Hopefully there's been some improvement.

New Who!

Ignore Me will be my first song released as an independent artist in five years. Every decision made was mine, every detail was agonised over, and every last bit of my heart is in this song. I can finally put out music the way I’ve always wanted to: straight from me to you.
If I’m being honest, this is a totally unknown and terrifying time for me. While being exciting, of course, it is very much uncharted territory and my biggest fear is that I will let you beautiful humans down. But I’ve never let fear dictate the choices I’ve made or hold me back from something I have wanted to do since I was five years old, so why start now?
Because that’s really all this is: my childhood dream come true. I used to spend hours in my bedroom choreographing Nsync dances and trying to recreate the Britney HBO special just imagining that one day I would be on stage singing songs that I wrote and entertaining thousands of people. And holy s**t, that’s already happened. How lucky am I?

The only reason I can say all of this, be honest with you and share this new music and live out this amazing fantasy of mine is because of you and your support. Lots of people don’t believe in me. That’s never going to change. But you guys, for what ever reason, have and I will continue to try to live up to that and give you all of me.
So this is for you and only you.
And there will be so much more to come.

Ignore me. Out Friday.
