Chris Conde

Chris Conde, an openly queer musician, blends hip hop, indie rock, and avant-garde experimental art punk, often with a drag twist. His music, at times hysterical yet always poignant, explores themes of drug addiction and self-acceptance. As Diamond Daggerz, a drag queen rapper, and Chris Conde, a folk singer, he leads various alternative-rap subsidiary projects. Known for his unabashed dialogue of acceptance, Conde's performances resonate with audiences seeking solace and understanding. Whether rapping in full drag, singing with a full orchestration, or crooning with acoustic instruments, his music shines bright in these dark days. Releases include "Lisa Frank" (2018), "Basic Rappers" (2018), and "Faux Toes" (2015).

Chris Conde played in Tube Tresen at Fusion festival 2024.
