I'd like to submit myself for consideration under eclectic prog (much of this post will be the same as my introduction elsewhere on the site, so I hope that's ok.) I'm a 20 year old
transgender musician from the UK who has been creating music since
2013, primarily specialising in keyboards but also tackling vocals,
guitar, percussion, and other instruments. My songs cover everything
from ancient history to modern popular culture, from my own personal
struggles to wider issues in the world at large (my music is
progressive in more ways than one). I am influenced by a diverse
range of artists, ranging from classic symphonic proggers (Yes,
Genesis, Camel) to left-field indies (Animal Collective, Sufjan
Stevens, Arca) to avant-garde experimentalists (Scott Walker,
Aphex Twin, Mr Bungle) and even sample-bending plunderphonicists (The Avalanches, Neil Cicierega, Girl Talk). Although I have made and produced many EPs,
singles, and other odd bits and bobs over the years, the main heart
of my creative output lies in my series of four full-length albums of original music:
Here Comes A Special Boy? was featured on GoldFlakePaint's list of essential Bandcamp albums by trans artists, and tracks from my albums have been played on Thames estuary radio station Ship Full of Bombs.

Think you for the suggestion. Currently under evaluation by the Eclectic Prog team.

If you don't already know her, it might be worth introducing yourself to Emma Chrysoprasia Roebuck - a DJ at the mighty Progzilla Radio, with a weekly prog show on there called 'Northern Star' (as well as some other more occasional shows), director at QuerKey CIC and radio broadcaster at Spark Sunderland. She will certainly relate to your personal circumstances, and will no doubt be more than happy to give your music some exposure too.

consider checking her out. Thanks for the reccomendation!
