Out Music: Kat Cunning Celebrates Pride With ‘Boys’

Non-binary artist and actor Kat Cunning has released the official music video for their song “Boys” in celebration of Pride 2021. The entire cast and crew of the fun and joy-filled music video identifies as either transgender or non-binary. NYLON apparently agrees with my assessment writing “the simple visual radiates as much heart and warmth as you’d hope.”

“The video was extremely important for me to make to spell out the true focus of the song because of the lyric’s subtlety,” Cunning explains. “I wanted to do my part to help represent the diversity and beauty of the transmasculine community that is so often erased, exploited or hardly peppered into the media. “Representation matters, especially to young people. If you can’t see it, you can’t be it,” continues the artist. “Making this video, we collectively agreed our community needed to see trans joy.” Cunning credits longtime collaborator Maddy Talias (videographer) and  director Tee Vaden for creating “an incredibly safe space for everyone to allow their true sense of self to cut through the lens, and to the cast who let their true selves shine with joy and camaraderie.” Earlier this year, Cunning released the powerful “Could Be Good.” Kat will be performing as part of New York City ABC Pride event on Sunday, June 27, with the broadcast beginning at 12 PM ET and, on Saturday, June 26 as part of NYC Pride’s Youth Pride virtual event as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQwNvfED5Xj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
