Portland Entertainer TOX!C released her dance worthy first EP after spending a year largely dancing alone in isolation. We discuss how the pandemic affected sex work, the influences for her music, the struggle of finding the right people to work with and the creative support that got her through. From touching on mental health and geeking out about karaoke this is a perfect “Valentine’s Date” to get you up and grooving.

TOX!C’s Dichotomy of Love now available to stream everywhere!
