Awareness. Advocacy. Education. Networking. Community. Support.
Q Review is not a media outlet. Q Review is a one of a kind organization seeking to foster the growth and awareness of the 2SLGBTQIA+ music community through outreach to the general public, education of queer youth, promotion of queer music, advocating for better and stronger representation to music and media outlets and supporting queer music artists through stories, awareness campaigns, programs, service, conversation and opportunity.
The Q Review exists to spread awareness and celebrate the music of LGBTQ artists around the world. We celebrate the global LGBTQ community and music lovers in general.
LGBTQ artists have historically hid their sexuality for fear of possible nonacceptance from the music industry. But today, more and more, artists are now choosing to enter the industry as their true authentic selves, even though being an "out" artist could mean they are ignored, passed over, diminished or met with negativity or hostility.
Started in 2018, the Q Review has served as a voice for the independent LGBTQ artist, and a champion of their artistic creativity. We provide a platform to be heard and seen, a place they can share their stories and reach larger audiences. As an organization committed to education, we also recognize the importance of representation and visibility of LGBTQ artists, especially for LGBTQ youth. Having artists that youth can connect to and see themselves in is crucial. It let's them know they are not alone and that they too can be part of the music community and achieve success. It shows them they can belong.
As a unique organization, the Q Review creates opportunities for the advancement and appreciation of LGBTQ music of all genres across the globe to be experienced, discovered and enjoyed. We do so by providing a series of LGBTQ dedicated services including:
- The Q Review LGBTQ Music Project website www.qreview.ca
- Social Media presence on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @theQReviews
- The OUT LOUD! Q Review Queer Music Podcast
- Web interviews and feature articles on LGBTQ artists
- Q Tube the Q Review YouTube Channel
- The Q32 weekly LGBTQ Music Chart
- One Love Live! Virtual Music Festival
- The Q Review Spotify Playlists:
* New Q (weekly New Release LGBTQ Playlist)
* PRIDE Canada (Canadian dedicated Playlist of LGBTQ artists)
* PRIDE (a regular rotation of classic and new music for PRIDE month)
* New Queer Radio (a regular rotation of newly released music)
* The Great GSA Rainbow Playlist (new artist music for younger audiences to discover)
* The Q32 LGBTQ Music Chart (a weekly playlist of the music currently on the Q32)
As we grow, we continue to uncover more artists and their stories, share their music and messages and introduce audiences everywhere to the world class music being made by the LGBTQ music community.
