We caught up with Keeana Kee at last year’s The Dinah to talk music, coming out, and what’s next for the openly queer rising star. The Latvian-born, New York–based singer blends pop, Latin, Afrobeat, and reggaeton into her unapologetically queer tracks – never hiding her truth. From her debut “Coconut Rum and Coke” to performing at The Dinah, Keeana’s music and story are all about living authentically.
