VIVEK SHRAYA

Awww, looks like bi trans author Vivek Shraya has written a children’s book!

The Boy and the Bindi is a playful picture book about a young boy’s fascination with the dot on his mother’s forehead.

Ammi, why do you wear that dot? What’s so special about that spot?

Too Attached has two upcoming shows!

From this week’s Songs You Need to Hear:

Vivek Shraya, ‘Girl It’s Your Time’

Earlier this month, Toronto artist Vivek Shraya made an announcement on Facebook: “35 today. New chapter. Using female pronouns. She & Her. Wrote a song … #GirlItsYourTime.” Also a filmmaker and author, Shraya had mostly only written about love in her music, while her other work explored themes like gender, sexuality, race and religion. “When I returned to music last year, I made sure it felt OK to write from a place of more honesty. The music industry has changed so much. There’s room for these conversations, of my struggles as a brown, queer artist.”

“Girl It’s Your Time” is a personal anthem for Shraya, a reflection of the bumpy ride transitioning to female pronouns. All proceeds from the single’s release will go to Supporting Our Youth’s Trans_Fusion Crew program, a grassroots drop-in group in Toronto that supports trans and questioning youth.

TOO ATTACHED is playing our very first shows this spring/spring. We are so excited and hope to see you! First up, we have the honour of opening for LAL for their album release event in Toronto. Tickets.
