Bijuriya

Montreal, Quebec

Strongly inspired by her South Asian culture, drag artist and musician Bijuriya is appreciated for her proud, festive, twisted and critical take on Bollywood and other aspects of Desi culture. The solo show she premiered at Montreal Arts Interculturels in 2022 was reprised at the Queer Arts Festival (Vancouver), the Music Gallery (Toronto), Fluid Fest (Calgary), Open Ears Festival (Kitchener) and 5 times in the Montreal Maisons de la culture de Montréal, via the CAM en Tournée program in 2023-24. Her EP Bijuriya Chamke is available on all streaming platforms. Excerpts from reviews: “this experimental, drag influenced queer pop shimmers and gleams, and is unlike anything you have ever heard before. Utterly wonderful” (Musicngear) “smart Dance-Pop, with interesting production choices, and a star singer” (New Music Jason)
