Listen to GiaWoods' SummerOfPride mix
After a slew of Pride festival performances this summer, the singer will next appear as part of the second annual OUTLOUD Music Festival, Nashville’s only queer music event, on Saturday alongside Kim Petras, Greyson Chance, Katie Pruitt, John Cyrus and others. "I love how there’s been so many Pride festivals happening all over the country,” she says. “These festivals are so important for our community and I’m so honored to be a part of them.
“I wanted to make a playlist that’s a mix of old pop nostalgic records, songs I like getting ready to, and songs that I’ll blast anytime, anywhere,” Woods says. “A lot of these songs take me way back to when I was listening to Britney, Madonna and Nelly records on repeat growing up. They all have such a sexy empowering feel. I really miss that time in music.”
The set's Pride theme resonates doubly with the multi-instrumentalist, who grew up in a conservative family in Los Angeles. “Anything Pride-related is so important because growing up I didn’t really understand my sexuality or know that what I was feeling was completely normal,” she says. “I was raised in a very old-fashioned Persian house and being queer is a bigVisibility remains a chief concern for the artist, who felt alone often during her youth.
