Be you! Eddie Wayne is redefining what it is to be an artist in 2023. #shorts #karamoshow

Because I feel like musicians from the past, from like the Boy Georges, the Sylvester of the world, even the Sam Smiths, the Luther Vandrosses of the world, they never ever had to sit over here and identify themselves. The only thing that ever mattered was the music and them expressing themselves through that, through that lens for all of us. With me being a Black queer person, it's hard to showcase that side of ourselves because what I feel like How we're viewed most of the time is that we always have to be strong, or we have to be like the Saucy Santana's of the world and be like this and that. No, I'm a person that's trying to express myself the way that I want to express myself. The message that I hope people receive from my music is that it's okay. It's okay to cry. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, and you don't always have to be in that dark space.
