AUNTIE KD is a queer, Indigenous (Cree) aspiring producer, composer, songwriter and drag musician/performer - born and raised in Treaty Four Territory with lineages from Cowessess First Nation (Mother), and Peguis First Nation (Father). Their style is a blend of Indie/Alternative Rock/Pop, Electronic, Funk and R&B, with audio experimentations of traditional Indigenous language and music creation. Influenced by Rostam Batmanglij, Tracy Chapman, Brian MacDonald, Trixie Mattel, Janelle Monae, William Prince, Tia & Fawn Wood, Doechii, Queen, and countless others - they intend to amplify BIPOC & 2SLGBTQ+ musicians/artists, expand representation and explore modern Indigeneity and relation to land.
