How coming into her trans identity helped this Toronto singer make the best music of her career. | CBCMusic
After years of being told she had to repress her queer identity, Toronto dance-pop singer Ceréna is in total control.
Fresh off a mainstage performance at Toronto Pride and with an appearance at Osheaga Music and Arts Festival in Montreal coming up, the experimental dance-pop artist is on the way to gracing even bigger stages. "Club Q changed my life in so many ways, because I was exposed to queerness all around the world and that gave me the courage to take the next step," she said. "Like that's how I changed my name, that's when I really dove deep because I saw other people just like me being joyful and thriving."
"I tried to make things work with my team because I'd invested a lot of time. I always knew that I had a voice and important things to say with it. But it made me sad that no matter what I did, it just wasn't clicking — these labels didn't want anything to do with me.
