Big Freedia (pronounced "Free-da") isn't a just rapper, or the Queen Diva of Bounce, or a performer extraordinaire. Big Freedia is a movement. Currently on a worldwide "Go Homo Tour," Freedia is bringing his show and Bounce music — a subgenre of hip-hop born out of New Orleans and known for its lightening speed booty-shaking—to audiences around the globe. Known to prompt sweaty after-parties and dance-floor freak-outs, a Big Freedia show is an experience.Raised on Josephine Street in uptown New Orleans, Big Freedia, born Freddie Ross, was raised by his mother, a hairdresser, and stepfather, a truck driver for Coca-Cola. After years of hard work, the family was able to move to downtown New Orleans, where schools were better and the streets, safer. Freedia—along with his brother Adam and sister Crystal Ross—were immersed in music at home by their mother, who collected Gladys Knight and Patty LaBelle records and often sung aloud around the house. But it was the church choir where a young Freddie flourished. "My mother made sure I never missed practice," recalls Freedia. It's no wonder that by the time he was 18, he wasn't just a member, Freedia directing the choir.A product of the 80s, Freeida was rocking RUN DMC, Salt 'n Pepa and Adidas Shell Tops as a teenager. One night in 1991 he heard "Where Dey At" by MC T Tucker, (what many believe to be the first recorded Bounce track) and he was transfixed. When he started backing Katie Red, the original "Sissy Bounce" (a queer brand of Bounce) rapper, Freedia knew Bounce was his calling and the stage where he felt most comfortable.Big Freedia says he refers to himself as "she" only when on stage (as in Queen of Bounce) but is not transgendered as some in the media have reported. He's a gay man, plain and simple. But he adds that his sexuality has little to do with his music. "All types of people—gay, straight, rich, poor, black, white come to my shows. Most people just wanna get out and shake their a** and have a good time!" The Big Freedia movement keeps growing. He released a debut EP on Scion A/V label this summer, which is produced largely by New Orleans beat maker BlaqNmilD. What's more, he appeared on two episodes of HBO series 'Treme' [as himself] and is the subject of a documentary film. Finally, Freedia shot a pilot for a reality TV show and is in the studio recording his highly-anticipated debut LP.
