Keiyan Lonsdale is fast becoming a role model for young men struggling to come out with their sexuality. His own story shows the various complexities of an individual’s journey; whether that be repressing an early awareness, coming out to an intimate group of friends in a safe space, having a secret long-term relationship and using therapy to process these thoughts and feelings. You can read all the details of the Australian actor and musician’s fascinating story here, because for us it’s all about the music. Lonsdale’s sexual identity is front-and-centre of his forthcoming album, from which he’s already revealed ‘Rainbow Dragon’. Now, the Hollywood-based, Sydney-born performer shares the brilliantly titled ‘Gay Street Fighter’. From the instant you hit play on this track, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear. Lonsdale bounces around a space busy with funky bass, poppy melodies, hip-hop verses and disco strings. His lyrics are filled with a desire to shake off the violent and prejudiced past and embrace an optimistic and open-minded present. Our favourite section of ‘Gay Street Fighter’ is the outro verse in which Lonsdale lists off all those people who may be in your life with the reminder that “we’re all just a little bit gay”. - Hannah Thacker
