WELCOME TO THE STAGE:
HOLLY CINNAMON
Exciting from the second she steps on stage, Holly Cinnamon brought the house down at the Stonewall TWICE this past season. Once at FREAK OUT by DJ Chauncey Dandridge and next at Perraneu LIVE! at the Stonewall (Aug 15).
A ferocious defender of the future for queer individuals, she speaks truth to the straights, screams for us to love of our bodies and our SEX and all with the talent and training to back it up.
With a wildly creative collective of queer artists, designers and coordinators, this French Canadian is taking New York pop music scene by storm.
Listen to her newly released singles BOO HOO and LA LANGUE on Spotify and check out our podcast next week for the interview with Perraneu at P&T Knitwear!
BIO
HOLLY CINNAMON (she/they) - SONGWRITER | VOCALIST | CO-
PRODUCER | CO-ARRANGER | KEYS | MUSIC VIDEO DIR & PROD. 🏳🌈
Holly Cinnamon is a queer genderfluid femme lesbian actor, singer-songwriter, poet and embodiment educator based in NYC/
Lenapehoking and Toronto/Tkaronto.
Holly has been singing and writing songs since childhood, but only during the pandemic, when their career as an actor was put on hold, they transitioned their creative energy to producing music. They self- produced six singles in 2022 through their record label, The Female Gayze: www.thefemalegayze.com. Holly has synaesthesia, auditory processing disorder and is autism- questioning. Her creative practice of songwriting is intuitive and visual, and based in her work as an actor on leading the listener through a character’s journey. She is inspired by her identity as a queer woman and a trauma survivor, and is excited by queering pop music forms, and exploring queer anachronism by writing queer stories into classic- sounding tunes from various decades. As an actor, Holly has appeared in Marvel’s Daredevil, Succession, Hocus Pocus 2 and the upcoming series The Savant, among other credits. They hold an MFA in Musical Theatre from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee School of Music, a BA Honors in Drama from the University of Alberta, and trained at the National Theatre School of Canada in the Acting program, in addition to being certified in Alexander Technique, Hatha, Ashtanga and Yin Yoga.
