Big Freedia, known as the Queen of Bounce, is a New Orleans-based rapper and ambassador of Bounce music. A vibrant twist on hip-hop, Bounce music is characterized by call-and-response lyrics over rapid-fire beats and booty-shaking.
After running the New Orleans club scene for over two decades, Big Freedia is now bringing the Bounce movement to a world-wide stage with her hit reality show, Big Freedia Bounces Back on Fuse. The weekly docu-series, now in its sixth season, follows the life of a gay choirboy turned Bounce rapper and remains the highest rated original series on the network.
In 2015, Freedia collaborated with Beyonce on the Grammy-nominated single, âFormation.â A collaboration with pop-vocalist Sia for âEye of the Needleâ was released in 2015 as part of the Adult Swim Series and Big Freediaâs single âI Heardâ was released in February. Freediaâs first LP, âJust Be Freeâ was named one of the âbest electronic releases of 2014â by Rolling Stone and was critically acclaimed in outlets such as Pitchfork.com, SPIN.COM, USA Today, and consequenceofsound.com.
Big Freedia maintains a rigorous tour schedule which features her legendary shake team and Bounce dance moves like âthe twerkâ (popularized by Miley Cyrus in 2013), âthe shakeâ âthe wiggle,â âthe bend ova,â the âhands on the ground,â to name just a few. She and her shake team are a festival favorite, often known to steal the show at Outside Lands, Fun Fun Fun Fest, and Bumbershoot.
In 2015, Big Freedia penned her first memoir, Big Freedia: God Save the Queen Diva! on Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster. The book was hailed in the press by outlets from Rolling Stone and Pitchfork to Out and Bust.
In 2012, Big Freedia made her television network debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! She has also appeared on Last Call with Carson Daly, Watch What Happens Live, NPRâs All Things Considered, NPRâs Marketplace, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell and The Real. Her TV show received the GLAAD Media Award in 2014 and was nominated again for the award again in 2015.
Big Freediaâs sophomore album will be released in 2017.
