AmpliPHy LGBTQ Voices Black and Out Loud

Welcome to We AmpliPHy Black LGBTQ Music History Makers, a series celebrating the Black LGBTQ artists, innovators, and trailblazers whose talent, courage, and creativity have transformed music and culture.

Today, we spotlight Kaytranada, the Grammy-winning producer, DJ, and sonic innovator whose unique blend of house, hip hop, R&B, funk, and electronic music has changed the sound of modern music.

Born in Haiti and raised in Canada, Kaytranada emerged from the underground music scene to become one of the most influential producers of his generation. His signature grooves, infectious rhythms, and genre-defying productions have earned collaborations with some of music's biggest stars, including Anderson .Paak, H.E.R., Alicia Keys, and Victoria Monét.

In 2021, Kaytranada made history by becoming the first Black LGBTQ artist to win the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album for Bubba. Openly gay and proudly authentic, he has helped expand visibility for LGBTQ artists in electronic music while inspiring a new generation of producers and creators.

From underground remixes to Grammy-winning success, Kaytranada's influence can be heard across dance floors, playlists, and radio stations around the world.

We AmpliPHy Black LGBTQ Music History Makers shines a spotlight on the artists, visionaries, and changemakers whose contributions deserve to be heard, remembered, and celebrated.

This series is an original AmpliPHy production celebrating the Black LGBTQ pioneers, icons, and innovators who continue to shape music history.
