Meet Big Freedia: The Queen Diva of Bounce

Big Freedia, the Queen Diva

If you have never been introduced to Bounce music boy are you missing out on one of the most energetic, expressive, and raw musical styles ever created. Distinctively New Orleans based, Bounce music thrives off of losing all inhibitions but more importantly its the soundtrack to ass shaking. Thanks to a musically inclined buddy of mine, I was introduced to Bounce artist Big Freedia and I have been hooked ever since. 

Big Freedia, a New Orleans fixture, has worked overtime to bring Bounce to mainstream markets. The towering and fierce Freedia stands out in more ways than one. With his flashy fashion, tall frame, and fly hairstyles the Queen Diva was born to stand out. Granted not everyone will be into a big, flashy dude twerking across the stage but after seeing a show the audience immediately falls in love. 

Freedia, shaking it fast.

Freedia began his music career in 1999 after performing backup for best friend Katey Red and was smitten by the rising Bounce genre. Thanks to the Fuse Netork, people from all walks of life have been exposed to a type of music that typically was geographically confined to the New Orleans area. Now fresh off the release of his album, Just Be Free, Big Freedia is aiming to bring Bounce music to the world.
