From New York City street performer to the international stage, transgender performance artist and musician BABY DEE is a pianist, accordion player, songwriter and storyteller, classically-trained harpist and circus sideshow veteran. Antony & the Johnsons, Current 93 (UK), Larsen (Italy) as well as Marc Almond have benefited from her talents.
My music is really hard to describe. I seem to have sort of a split personality. There's clearly two sides and one of them is very vaudevilly circussy and the other is quite serious. I kind of balk at describing the serious part. I guess it's fair to say that my influences there are kind of arcane and have very little to do with contemporary music or even twentieth century music or even 19th or 18th century music. That end of me is very anachronistic. Some people are kind of taken aback by how "old" it sounds. It's not something I ever tried to do it just always came out that way. - Baby Dee, 2006
Baby Dee has releases on PRE Recordings (Germany) and David Tibet's Durtro Records (UK); her 2008 recording Safe Inside the Day is available on Drag City Records, Chicago.
