Cae Monāe is a Digital Artist with a focus on cosmetics, music and fantasy. She moved to Chicago in 2012 to study Fashion Business + Fine Art. She thrust herself into Chicago’s Queer Nightlife where she took the microphone to bring a new genre of performance to the scene. In 2014, she began producing music and released her first EP which explored an industrial soundscape topped with poetry, an interview with Eartha Kitt and a transsexual vaginal examination. In 2016, she moved to South Bronx, New York where she lived in a funeral home and dabbled in mortuary cosmetology. Today, she’s exploring a new life of digital creation that combines her cosmetics, music and fashion into a transgressive fantasy she envisions for the future of Black Trans Women in Art.
