    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Boyfriend Dick is a New York-based DJ and multidisciplinary artist. Emerging from the Bushwick rave scene, he has become a distinctive voice in queer nightlife, performing at iconic queer festivals Honcho Campout and Whole Festival, as well as well-known NYC venues like Paragon, Public Records, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and The Lot Radio. His sets range in genre and tone—from euphoric, polyrhythmic dancefloor intensity to slinky, sensual downtempo textures. Across disciplines, his practice spans performance, music production, sculpture, and meme curation, with a current focus on clowning.
