Starly Kind

Starly Kind is the musical moniker for Starly Lou Riggs, a São Paulo-based musician and visual artist. Hailing from Portland, OR, Starly Kind’s work is a fusion of experimental hardcore and screamo with dark jazz and performance art. Conceptually driven, their music touches heavily on Queerness and their experience as a nonbinary person, mixing a celestial make-believe with dream-like horrors inspired by the likes of Dante’s Divine Comedy and David Lynch. From the depths of both heaven and hell, Starly Kind is all at once cute, bright, and sinister.
