About Mr. Boifriend

I’m from Madison, Wisconsin. I like making songs & wandering around & throwing rocks in the lakes.

I’ve been playing music & experimenting with sounds since I was old enough for my dad to let me play around on his Casio SK-1. A lot of melodies come to me in my dreams. I expand them into songs on my guitar, & then arrange them with synths & drum loops & whatever SOUNDS right. Some songs are very forgiving; others make me their slave. I like integrating unexpected forms & sounds in my songs because it keeps things interesting, & mirrors the chaos of my own consciousness. My performances are hyperactive, glammed-out adventures for me & my audience, with DIY-pop drag show energy!

I’m especially inspired by Grimes, Princess Chelsea, George Clanton, Gorillaz & the designer Raf Simons

I’ve performed at Memorial Union Terrace, High Noon Saloon, many venues in Madison, Illumi Live in New York City, as well as countless hours busking on State St., playing my music & doing tarot readings
