Virtuoso pianist, composer, and avant-garde artist Micah McLaurin is quickly earning his place in the pop scene, thanks to his unparalleled skills, talents, flair for fashion, and out-and-proud sensibility.
Growing up queer in a conservative, Catholic household in Charleston, South Carolina, McLaurin is on a journey of rediscovery as a person and artist. Performing for live audiences by the age of nine and attending prestigious institutions like the Curtis Institute and Julliard to further focus his craft, McLaurin was left little room for his own voice to flourish. Now, after finding respite in queer culture after moving to New York, he is unlearning many of the lessons that taught him to suppress who he really was and harnessing the gifts that make him unique.
