Slayyyter is the recipient of the GAY TIMES<\/em> Honour for Excellence in Music<\/p>\n

The singer has justifiably earned themselves the title of queer icon with the unique ability to reinvent herself with every album drop.<\/p>\n

In her latest metamorphosis for her third album STARFUCKER, <\/em>she has reimagined herself as a vampy neo-noir heroine. In doing so, the star has cultivated a passionate stan following.<\/p>\n

The origins of her success come from her revered DIY, digital-first approach to releasing music, which was exemplified by the viral success of 2019 single \u2018Mine\u2019.<\/p>\n

Unashamed to be pigeonholed into one specific genre, STARFUCKER <\/em>is an\u00a080s glamazon, exaggerated, hyper-feminine, manicured aesthetic coupled with climaxing trance beats, post-punk bass lines and dramatised pop-vocals.<\/p>\n

Slayyyter discussed this evolution of her artistry in her GAY TIMES<\/em> Honours cover interview, explaining: \u201cI feel like I have just levelled up as an artist completely. I still love and appreciate all my past projects but this new album feels like I have finally hit my stride as an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On her relationship to her community, Slayyyter said LGBTQIA+ people have “saved my life and given me the confidence to express myself and find liberation through nightlife and music. I would hope that my music could help others feel the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her message to the community is: \u201cDon’t ever feel like you have to be what people expect you to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her GAY TIMES<\/em> Honour for Excellence in Music is her first-ever award: \u201cIt feels like such an honour,\u201d she said. \u201cEspecially coming from a queer publication that I love!\u201d<\/p>\n

GAY TIMES<\/em> Honours 2023 celebrates the individuals and organisations who have had a profound effect on the lives of LGBTQIA+ people over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s line-up of Honourees acknowledges people making huge impact in music, TV, film, community and drag.<\/p>\n

The new digital edition of GAY TIMES<\/em> Magazine spotlights this year\u2019s winners and is available to read now on the GAY TIMES<\/em> app, Apple News +, Readly and Flipster.<\/p>\n
