DJ Sophie Joy’s dance floor beats are about two things: self-liberation and self-discovery. Here, the London musician talks creating transformational tracks and bringing joy to queer clubs and venues.
WORDS BY ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COKE STUDIO Coke Studio and GAY TIMES are collaborating for the second year running to celebrate upcoming queer talent as part of our new music Breakthrough campaign; an ongoing campaign that gives unsigned LGBTQIA+ musicians and allies, within the UK and Ireland, the opportunity to break into the industry.
We all know it’s not easy to get into a new career without some help. So, we’ve teamed up with Coke Studio to connect hand-selected talented queer acts and allies as part of our Breakthrough series, bringing must-needed new unsigned artists to wider audiences.
Last year, we documented the musical journey of Celaviedmai, Callum Crighton, Lleo, and Keanan as our first-time Breakthough acts.
