Dorian Electra

Pop music agitator Dorian Electra makes music that is unbound by genre. Since the 2019 release of their acclaimed debut album Flamboyant, which Interview Magazine called a “pop magnum opus,” Electra has gained an intense cult following around the globe, that has been fueled by considerable critical support from places like Pitchfork, Billboard, Paper Magazine, FADER, Gay Times, The Guardian, the New York Times, The Guardian, and more. Electra, who is known for their high-concept singles, which are each accompanied by a music video conceptualized, produced and directed by Electra and their creative partner Weston Allen, creates a world in which camp is embraced and societal expectations and binaries are deconstructed. On Dorian Electra’s most recent project, My Agenda, they explore a deeper, darker, and even more political realm, with Electra more specifically examining the 'crisis in masculinity' through a queer lens. Having collaborated with Charli XCX, 100 gecs, The Village People, Pussy Riot, Rebecca Black, S3RL, 645AR and more. Having been dubbed an “experimental pop figurehead," Electra’s music blends together a masterful assortment of genres, including hardcore, metal, medieval, epic baroque, dubstep, and pop and again displays why people are calling Electra’s work “the future.”
