We had the good fortune of connecting with Li Li and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Li Li, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I didn’t choose to be a creative- I was born an Artist. That means I am larger than life, tortured, and completely delusional. This is my re-birth. I’m in my Britney Spear’s Blackout era- I’m chaotic, dark, and Musically Unhinged.
Timing is everything: the world is shifting, the industry is dying, and I just want to break free….make music, make love, and make a difference. It’s not that complicated! Stream Ghost Face on Friday the 13th!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My music is dark pop, its fun, intentional, and It’s sharp. It’s apologetically queer and it will make you dance! It’s everything I was told to tone down to survive. My songs are here to slap you across the face, kiss you after, and leave glitter on your bed. My first single is called Ghost Face. Its about being ghosted and about doing the ghosting, its truly a modern tale. it’s dangerous and fun and will make you dance the body glitter off your skin
Ghost Face drops June 13th, FRIDAY the 13th for New Music Friday. Pre-save is available on my IG, link in bio. ( @LiLiMusicArtist ) with a full EP release coming by the end of the year. I’ve been pretty tight-lipped about the project because I want to do this right…. also, I’ve never done this before. I want the rollout, the visuals, the message—all of it—to reflect who I am and what I stand for…. an unhinged jaded gay man with a musical vengeance. I grew up with Britney, rebelled like Christina, partied with Paris and now im ready to sing like Li Li. Let’s Addison Rae the hell out of this project.
This isn’t just about me. This is for the community—my community—that’s hurting, overlooked, legislated, and still showing up in glitter, heels, and full heart. You can be loud. You can be legendary. You can be Li Li.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Jeffrey Fallen! Owner of Fallen Studios. Jeff is a Los Angeles based Musician and incredible guitar player! Thanks for being such an important part of this new music project. I love being creative in your studio, its my safe space.
