Kieran Strange

He’s been compared to Tony Stark, Ramona Flowers, Hawkeye, and Tank Girl! - but IRL, he’s Kieran Strange, a quirky and powerful young artist blending pop sensibilities, dynamic guitars, and high-energy live shows into his own brand of British pop-punk. At the age of seventeen, he left his parents, family, and small English fishing village behind in order to chase his dream of making music; he travelled to Vancouver, Canada where he now resides, writing and performing songs about rebellion, relationships, and RPGs. Standing firmly as a voice for the different and discarded, Kieran came out publicly as genderfluid in 2014 with the release of the “Tear Down The Wall” music video, and changed his pronouns from “she” to “he” in the summer of 2016. These days, he always makes sure he is open, outspoken, and passionate in his beliefs; some of the causes he fights to support include LGBTQ+ issues and rights, feminism, autism awareness, racial equality, and many other forms of mental health and suicide awareness. Hot on the heels of his past releases - Adamantine Heart (2012) and Last Hero Standing (2015) - the bedheaded geek has toured multiple countries (including Canada, US, UK, and Japan), played hundreds of shows, conventions, and festivals, and is currently working on multiple singles to release in 2016/17! Along with Tasty Peach Studios, he’s one of the minds and voices behind KonekoYO!, as well as the founder of the #ifeelinvincible and #cosplaynotconformity cosplay and con scene mini-movements. He encourages you to check out The Kaleidoscope Project on Facebook -- a safe haven he has created to inspire, encourage, and educate LGBTQ+ geeks and their allies! All about a trans kid raised in a pub in rural south England. Anyway, he moved across the pond to write songs about rebellion, relationships, and RPGs. <3
