Биография

Mexican-American singer-songwriter Renee Goust (she/they), who was raised on the US-Mexico border, writes songs about the fight for gender equality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, and other social justice issues to champion identities that have been historically underrepresented in the musical traditions of the Americas. Her songs “La cumbia feminazi” and “Querida muerte (No nos maten)” have become part of the vibrant soundtrack of the feminist struggles in the streets of Latin America. Renee has performed at renowned venues such as Lincoln Center, New York’s Guggenheim Museum, and Mexico City’s El Cantoral, to name a few. She has been featured on outlets such as Billboard, Rolling Stone, NPR's Latino USA and Spain's El País. Renee Goust has composed original music for short films produced by Disney & WeTransfer, among others. She is part of the organizing committee for Marcha Lencha CDMX, the first trans-inclusive lesbian march in Mexico. She has collaborated with The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), New York’s Women’s Strike, ExpoDiversidad in Chile, and Queer Pride Marches in New York City, Mexico City, and La Paz, Bolivia, among others. Renee was a guest panelist at Guadalajara's FIMPRO 2021 (International Music Fair for Professionals), where she spoke about LGBTQIA+ diversity and inclusion in the music industry. She was selected as a US Cultural Ambassador for American Music Abroad’s 2021 - 2022 cycle.
