VOX is Amplifying Voices With Pride throughout the month of June in celebration of Pride Month. We’ve teamed up with artist Torrii Wolf to host a series of interviews LGBTQIA+ artists that inspire courage & acceptance.
Join us in recognizing the great impact the LGBTQIA+ community has had, & continues to have, on the music industry & learn from these extraordinary voices.
In this “Amplifying Voices with Pride” interview, @toriiwolf (they/them) discusses Pride with queer couple & musical duo @KhulaRae (both she/her).
About KhulaRae: Sara & Natalie had known of one another since attending the same high school but had never officially met. 10 years later when a mutual friend told them to work with one another, they took a leap of faith & decided to finally meet up. The night of their first encounter was like no other.
“We awoke one another’s soul, in ways no one had ever done before. It was that “aha” moment knowing that we had finally found our missing pieces.”
The two instantly connected & played music like they'd known each other their whole lives & have been inseparable ever since.
Their love is pure but they've also been through a lot of darkness in their 3 1/2 year relationship (Sara battling medullary thyroid cancer, financial hardship, losing Sara’s dad to stage 4 pancreatic cancer at the first part of covid, & Natalie losing her job of 8 years), & all in all they've pushed through life with a positive & light filled perspective. KhulaRae knows how lucky they are to have one another, & vow to live every day giving back love & appreciation through their music.
About Torii Wolf: Torii Wolf is a queer, non-binary artist who believes in music’s power to transcend. And when people hear Wolf’s arrestingly moving voice & wide-ranging musical style, they immediately drop into the emotion of the song & connect on levels that transcend genre, gender, time, & space.
“I like how music can be a bridge to the spiritual world,” says Wolf. “I want to use my music to build a safe space for people to feel.” To feel anything—to feel excited, or safe, or unsafe, or shocked, or uncomfortable. Music has a power to bring all these feelings forward in a safe way.
