Shamir Bailey is an American singer-songwriter based in Philadelphia.
Bursting into the stratos-queer in 2014 with "On the Regular", Shamir has since continually defined and redefined his musical language, visual identity, and artistry, on his own terms.
His latest album, Homo Anxietatum, is out on August 18th on Kill Rock Stars. It was an absolute pleasure to discuss Shamir's own queer musical influences for Tracks of Our Queers.
We explore music by Mykki Blanco, Tegan and Sara, and Tracy Chapman. You can follow Shamir on Instagram here.
Tracks of Our Queers is produced, presented and edited by Andy Gott.
You can listen to our Spotify playlist, Selections from Tracks of Our Queers, and find Aural Fixation in your favourite podcast provider.
