Homophonic video blog (Ep. 12): Joshua Klipp

Who's the man with fans from Tyra Banks to the entire population of Sweden?  Who's the guy whose very 1st video was directed by Margaret Cho?  Who's the stud muffin that has every gender, animal, mineral, and vegetable swooning at his crooning?

Out trans recording artist Joshua Klipp, that's who!

And this week on Homophonic, he's all ours!  Joshua's story of musical and personal transformation is jaw-dropping, and he shares it all with Alex from the couch-of-supreme-music.  From his television debut on Tyra to the road to stardom via Margaret Cho to the only song in history to feature the voice of an artist both pre- and post-gender transition, Joshua tells all.

Check it out after the break!

"only song in history to feature the voice of an artist both pre- and post-gender transition,"

Perhaps the first to get recognition... but my no means, the first in history. I recorded songs in the mid 90s using my own pre and post trans vocals.

"Round & Bouncy", recorded in 1995/1996 is a prime example. I would imagine that other people did it before ME even.

So, definitely not the only song in history. :)

First, last, whatever..

Still wonderful... 

Joshua, love your tunes dahhling!  And Alex, I have to completely agree with the 'stud muffin' description of this adorable young man! Sorry for the label JK, but trust me.. (I've been called far worse), so it's a good one to have! 

A great uplifting sound that raised my spirit, and instantly elevated my mood from the duldrums of our currently rather depressing real world.

Far more intellectual and entertaining than the political debates!

Go Joshua!

Oh.. and thanks again Homophones!
