Here at Queer Folk®, we are building a coalition of queer musicians and artists who espouse an ethic of love and caring in the work they do.
We are accepting music from all over the world for publication and promotion. Please send us your demos and best works, especially if you self-identify as queer.
Queer means 2SLGBTQIA+. It also means 2-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersexed, asexual, pansexual, and just plain sexual.
Amrit Kohli
musician
we began in 1997. with one guitar and one set of lips. we published two albums in 2001 and 2002, respectively. we would close down in 2003, when we hung up our guitar in protest to the nation that silenced us. we wouldn't return until 2009, when the guitar came down off the shelf again. we've been making music all along. we make music that works...
Love's Ashes is the opener for Amrit Kohli's first full-length album, an angsty song about love lost in Minnesota. Rubber Bullets is an anthem for the Palestinian people, who suffer tremendous human rights violations and atrocities that go unpunished and are committed by the Israelis. The hard-punching I, Phoolan Devi, is a tribute to the fallen "bandit queen" of India, who was assassinated on the day this song was written and recorded, July 25th, 2001. Phoolan Devi commanded an army of men who traveled the lands of India in search of the marauders of her youth. Can you blame her? She was gang-raped when she was only 15, sold into modern day slavery as a bride of a much older man when she was only 11, so she took up arms and would eventually go on a rampage of democracy. The album continues its heavy hitting songs with And Then Some, a song written for and about Ani DiFranco, one of Amrit Kohli's most cherished friends. The album closes with a song about the breaking apart of a relationship that was based on lies and deceit.
There is no shortage of drama in this album!
