About the Participants

A portrait of Be Steadwell, a queer person of color with short curly dark hair. They are smiling at a three-quarter pose with their arm flexed. They are wearing a baseball cap and black tank top. Be Steadwell (They, She, He, Be) is a queer pop composer and storyteller from Washington DC.  Be composes songs on stage using looping, vocal layering and beat boxing. Be’s original music features earnest lyricism, and affirming queer content.  Be’s goal as a musician is to make other black girlies, introverts and weirdos feel seen and loved.
