Gay roommates Daniel (Gen X) and Julio (Gen Z) welcome music agent and KOQ Agency founder Javi Simons (Gen X) onto the podcast to discuss LGBTQ representation in music. They talk about Javi's impressive client list, which ranges from LeAnn Rimes, Big Freedia, Crystal Waters, and Chaka Khan to Shea Coulee, Trixie Mattel, Jimbo, and Alyssa Edwards. Javi explains the state of the music industry today, particularly as it relates to traditionally underrepresented groups and how trailblazers like RuPaul paved the way for artists like Kim Petras and Lil Nas X to excel today. Javi also offers advice on those breaking into the industry and seeking representation.
