Big Freedia

A veteran of the New Orleans music scene who took the city's bounce music movement national, the flamboyant performer and personality known as Big Freedia, Queen Diva, became the mainstream face of bounce across the United States. Delivering high-energy, body-positive, and LGBTQ-empowering anthems, she made her breakthrough in 2014 with the debut Just Be Free, featuring "Booty-Whop" and "Explode," and followed with 2018's 3rd Ward Bounce. Her official sophomore LP, the more pop-leaning Central City, landed in 2023. In addition to her music, the bounce ambassador also starred in her own reality shows, Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce and Big Freedia Bounces Back, and a 2020 documentary about gun violence, Freedia Got a Gun.
