Mama Alto

Mama Alto is a jazz singer, cabaret artiste & gender transcendent diva. She is a transgender & queer person of colour who works with the radical potential of storytelling, strength in softness and power in vulnerability. Fierce, femme and fabulous, she has performed at beloved venues including The Butterfly Club, Melbourne Recital Centre, and the National Gallery of Victoria. She is the co-creator of the highly acclaimed variety cabaret “Gender Euphoria,” Australia’s largest ever trans & gender diverse main stage production which premiered at Arts Centre Melbourne.

On her Facebook page, Mama Alto said “My dream and hope this Trans Day of Visibility… is to reach out to those of you who find yourself in those situations. I send a message of love, of solidarity, and support. You do not need to be visible to be valid. You are still our family. You do not need to endanger yourself to observe or celebrate Trans Day of Visibility: you can carry it quietly and securely in your heart. We are with you. Beyond isolation. Happy Trans Day of Visibility my sisters, my brothers, my siblings above gender, beyond gender, outside of gender and without gender.”
