CONGRATS to B.Steady on winning two Paul Robeson Awards for her video, Bones.
B.Steady explores the art of making fun pop music for queer people of color and other folks with silenced struggles. Located somewhere within the traditions of Sweet Honey in the Rock, The Clovers, Bobby McFerrin and BonIver, at her best B.Steady is a one man acapella band specializing in elaborate vocal layering and harmony. She released her first self-produced album on Itunes in January 2011, and posts an original live song weekly on her queerBgirl youtube video blog.
Her music is simple yet infectious, and always sincere. In her own words, "Some days I want to write sappy love songs for my girlfriend. Some days I want to write about a season. Some days I want to write about racism. But mostly, I want to write fun music for people like me."
In addition to her solo endeavors, B is a singer/MC in the queer pop group The Lost Bois, and is currently attending Howard University in pursuit of her M.F.A. in film.
