Queen SirJET, the LA-based boundary-pushing artist known for her raw lyricism and genre-blurring sound, is back with her new EP, The Torture of Consent. Inspired by a dream, the project delves into themes of self-acceptance and liberation, balancing vulnerability with unapologetic defiance.
The lead single, “Release Me”, is a dancefloor-ready anthem about confronting emotions and shedding expectations. “It’s about letting go of what you think your life is supposed to be and staying true to your ‘why,’” Queen SirJET explains. “For me, that ‘why’ is fame and the dream of being remembered.”
Queen SirJET’s journey has been one of resilience and self-discovery. Raised in suburban Chicago and Scottsdale, Arizona, she struggled with gender dysmorphia from a young age. It wasn’t until adulthood, after moving to Hollywood, that she embraced her true identity.
Queen SirJET’s connection to the kink community has also influenced her self-expression. “I’ve been gender-blending and cross-dressing for decades,” she says. “But it wasn’t until I got involved in the adult industry that I realized there was a sexual side to it. That exploration helped me connect more deeply to my feminine side, especially in intimate moments.”
Beyond her music, Queen SirJET is a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and personal freedom. She uses her platform to challenge anti-queer legislation and amplify marginalized voices. “It’s madness,” she says of the current political climate. “Why is a president attacking his own citizens? We all deserve to live authentically and freely.”
The Torture of Consent IS available on all major platforms.
