Queer Filipinx Kimmortal’s artistry is defined by its subversive energy and grounded vulnerability, navigating between singing and rapping over layered hip-hop beats. Their third album Shoebox (2023), chronicles their journey through healing intergenerational trauma, celebrating the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and embracing their inner child. Their new EP, sunniest of days (released in 2025), held the #1 spot on the !earshot hip hop charts for eight weeks. Featuring collaborations with Shad, Super Duty Tough Work, and Junia-T, the project processes both personal and collective grief while exploring the strangeness of being human – existing, loving, and creating art during global crises.

Kimmortal’s music has extended beyond the studio, with notable sync placements, including “This Dyke” in The L Word: Generation Q and “On My Way” in Apex Legends Season 19. Their original song for Sort Of (currently streaming on HBO and CBC) won Best Original Song at the Canadian Screen Awards, and their music video for “Blue and Orange” won Best Music Video at the Disorient Asian American Film Festival. Known for their powerful stage presence and multi-dimensional approach to music, Kimmortal has opened for some of their favourite artists including Thundercat, Saul Williams, Shad K, Ruby Ibarra, Saba, and Gabriel Teodros. They have also performed at Reeperbahn, JUNOfest, and several Pride festivals across North America.

They’re currently writing and recording their next full-length album which will include collaborations from artists around the globe.
