To make music like Medusa’s, you need three things: thick beats, visceral melodies, and an axe to grind. A storyteller at heart, the self-proclaimed “revenge-pop” musician aims to transform tales of queer joy, desperation, and agony into gratifying music “by any means necessary.” And they make good on the promise; their signature production style — described by Soundriv as “a breakthrough collection of LGBTQ hymns,” and by Bucketlist as “the most inventive [expletive] music we’ve heard in a long time” — features unconventional samples like wolf howls and cheerleading chants as often as distorted basslines

As a member of RAMPD, Medusa uses their platform to celebrate neurodiversity and promote equity and inclusion across the music industry. In 2023, Keychange selected Medusa to be a member of their inaugural United States cohort. With two Wavy Awards under their belt and a legion of dedicated followers dubbed “The Gorgang” by their side, Medusa looks forward to soundtracking the process of self-actualization and empowering fellow outcasts for years to come.
