An unapologetically playful riot of nonconformity.
Girlboy is contagious, sunshine-slinging pop-hop.
Call it what you will: soul-hop, folk-dance, electronic anthem pop — the point is that San Diego’s effervescent queer magic duo Girlboy is a genre-defying firework of a band. Haley Hill raps, Matthew Blake sings, and together they are masters of irresistibly singable hooks, beats that demand grooving, and an unapologetically playful riot of non-conformity. Girlboy is waging a glitter war against all types of shame, and their weapons of choice are artful lyrics, an unabashedly nerdy sense of humor, and a relentless infusion of hard-won hope.
Imagine P!nk’s soulfulness and Macklemore’s swagger in a lava lamp swirl of glowing, loud and proud queer revolution: Girlboy makes the music you play to rally your marchers, dance like nobody’s watching, or sing defiantly to your dashboard, all while repeating a powerful mantra of self-love: we belong, we are worthy, and it's time to celebrate us.

Girlboy was born on stage at a karaoke bar in 2014 when Matthew Blake and Haley Hill offered an impromptu rendition of “Drunk in Love” that shifted the trajectory of their futures. Hill, who grew up rapping in Northern California, and Blake, a singer-songwriter with Appalachian roots, bonded in their shared journey of trying to find their voices as queer artists. Girlboy emerged as their freedom project – a fusion of their wildly disparate styles and fundamentally unified vision that sparks and crackles with an electricity that has been lighting up stages ever since.
