Big Freedia September 20, 2012

Big Freedia (pronounced "Free-da") is the undisputed "Queen Diva" of Bounce Music in New Orleans. Bounce Music is an original urban music rising up from New Orleans housing projects, which dominate the city's street culture, and Freedia performs a derivative of Bounce reserved for self-proclaimed "Sissies" (a locally used name for biological men with varied and ambiguous sexual identities) that has risen to prominence in recent years and features explicitly gay and cross-dressing musicians and themes. Big Freedia, like other "Sissy" artists, has achieved mainstream success with several New Orleans hit singles.
