Roy Kinsey Biography
Chicago born and raised, Roy Kinsey is a bit of an anomaly when it comes to tradition in his respective industries. Where being a black, queer-identified, rapper, and librarian may be an intimidating choice for some, Roy Kinsey's non-conformist ideology has informed his 4th album, and self-proclaimed, “best work yet,” Blackie: a story by Roy Kinsey.
Featured in and on major local, national, and international publications like Billboard, NPR, WBEZ’s Vocalo, the Chicago Tribune, WGCI, and the RedEye, his “deft skill for storytelling,” is proving to have wings like the "Flying Africans" of old that he raps about on his latest project. Kinsey’s latest video Fetish, exploring black queer identity and spirituality, premiered at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), the Art Institute of Chicago, the Harold Washington Cultural Center and the DuSable Museum. he has shared his lyrics on the stages of Lincoln Hall, Logan Square Auditorium, Wild Hare, The Shrine, and Soho House, and has recently done a series of performances/exhibitions with the Silver Room Block Party, Pride in the Park, and The 312 Block Party.
His professional development in librarianship has fueled his desire for self-examination and then reporting his findings, in rhyme. Roy intends and believes the success of his present and future creative works will touch the hearts of many because it comes from the heart.
Roy Kinsey is a librarian in the Teen Services/Youmedia department for Chicago Public Libraries.
