We literally had the best time EVER last night with our very first EQ Music drag event with R U Smarter than a Drag Queen starring @thecrystalenvy and @lanajarae.

Our sole mission is to elevate and support LGBTQ+ talent and help bring them closer to their UK fans.

Looking forward to expanding more into queer art forms beyond music and film to give our followers what they want, creating a place for community and arts discovery.
