We're just curious. All of a sudden everyone is talking about someone called the Lesbian Jesus, and hailing this Los Angeles artist as the source of the Sapphic Second Coming. She might be here to save us all, but who exactly is, and where did she come from? A lot of people have probably seen Hayley Kiyoko strutting down the street by now busting self-assured dance moves in her video for ‘Feelings’, and if you’ve got Twitter, it’s likely that you’ll have inadvertently seen the rising star flash up in gif form by now; most likely, catching a bra that’s been thrown on stage – something that happens at nearly ever show. A boundary pushing pop star who’s managed to entrance straight-laced America with her debut album ‘Expectations’, she’s also an artist doing something unique in 2018.

Thanks to whoever threw their bra at hayley you've raised billions for the LGBT — saddy (@lesbihayley) OK, so what’s her back-story? Like many other first rate pop stars – Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera – Hayley Kiyoko’s break came in the world of children’s telly. As a kid she was spotted at an ice rink by Nickelodeon, and presented a short segment about her favourite hobby, titled I’m Hayley, a Skater. Disappointingly, it was not, but it was Kiyoko’s first time in front of a camera.

She carried on acting throughout her teens – saying it was a way to support her musical ambitions – and formed a garage band called Hede in 2007. They played a few shows and released one single called ‘ Warehouse’ before disbanding.

What happened after that? And how the hell did she end up supporting Justin Bieber? Shortly after she fronted Hede, Hayley Kiyoko was approached by pop star and Hairspray star Vitamin C, and ended up joining pop group The Stunners as a result. Fellow artist Tinashe was also in the band, and they released a handful of singles together including ‘ Dancin’ Around The Truth’.

The Stunners later supported Justin Bieber on tour, but never released an album; they split up by the time 2011 came around. A large factor was most likely that Hayley Kiyoko’s acting schedule was suddenly jam-packed. • Starring as Stella Yamada in the Disney Channel’s 2010 high school flick Lemonade Mouth – a musician who mounts a protest when a school tries to remove the building’s lemonade machine – Hayley Kiyoko found herself with a growing fan-base. A few years later, that same fan base helped her to crowdfund her debut solo EP ‘ A Belle to Remember’; a peppy and more polite first step towards the pop gold she puts out in 2018. And what does all this have to do with being the Lesbian Jesus?

Well, up until Hayley Kiyoko put out her second EP, she had never really explored her own sexuality in her music. Then, the singer – who identifies as a gay woman – wrote ‘Girls Like Girls’, and co-directed the video that changed her entire career. Depicting two teenage girls harbouring a mutual crush, the two protagonists soon join forces, and fight back against the video’s creepy straight man who won’t leave them alone. The video soon became a Tumblr mega-hit, and it currently has 92 million hits on YouTube. Free download mp3 dangdut ona sutra sisa sisa cinta koplo. On top of this huge surge in success, ‘Girls Like Girls’ also marked a major turning point for Hayley Kiyoko.
