Hello, I’m Mylo Choy. I live in Brooklyn, New York. Most of my career has been working with youth and making art and music. They seem different, but a lot of them are the same because all of it is about how people feel. *laughs* This E.P “Night is like the Ocean” was recorded upstate in Livingston Manor, New York. A friend of a friend is the engineer and producer on it. I’ve worked with him several times. First, with my old band Small Talk and I just really liked his vibe. And also the recording studio is this house that has windows all the way around and you can see the snow. Winter is such a great time to record because you really can’t do much else. I just always like working with him. It’s really nice to work with someone where you could ask someone their honest opinion and they’ll tell you and they’ll always go with your decision at the end of the day, because I am such a control freak, especially when it comes to art things. I think because it’s so personal. I’d like to get to a point where I’m a little more collaborative.

Hey Homoground listeners! I’m Anna, co-creator of PB&Qs (professionals, business, and queers), an online community for queer women, trans, and gender-nonconforming entrepreneurs and business professionals.
In addition to our Slack group, we host a monthly discussion series called “Thinking Out Loud.” On the first Wednesday of every month we dive deep into a topic, creating a space where we can share our stories and learn from each other. On May 7th we’re exploring the feeling of not being queer enough—whether you don’t have an undercut, got married and had kids, don’t know the latest label or trending phrase, can’t name a celebrity to save your life, or have to day-in and day-out confront the continued erasure of bisexuality from queer culture.Join us, a group of LGBTQ+ women, trans, and gender-nonconforming folk, to hear stories, get ideas, and remind yourself you’re not alone. Go to https://pbandqs.ck.page/join to learn more.Country Queers is an ongoing multimedia oral history project documenting the diverse experiences of rural, small town, and country LGBTQIA+ folks in the U.S. – across intersecting layers of identity such as race, class, age, ability, gender identity, and religion.

How COVID-19 is impacting LGBTQIA musicians [Episode #255]
With the rise of COVID-19 cases, many steps are being taken to prevent the spread and ensure people’s safety. This is leaving many people out of work and affecting their sources of income. For musicians, it is resulting in the cancellation of live events and tours, which is how many musicians generate their income. LGBTQIA musicians already face many struggles and having to cancel their main sources of income and a way that they’re able to connect with their communities is a huge blow.
During this time, Homoground hosted a virtual panel to hear from musicians in our LGBTQIA community who are being affected by COVID-19 and to discuss ways that we as a community can help each other, as well as come up with solutions to alternative ways to survive financially during this time.
We heard directly from:
Terra Lopez (Rituals of Mine)
Lauren Denitzio (Worriers)
Kim Villagant (Kimmortal)
