Queens D. Light's music gives us hope. Her well-versed and well-rehearsed flow eloquently embodies her world vision and she honestly does not care who you want her to be. Here, Queens introduces us to her muse. Inspired by the Yoruba goddess Oshun aka Lady of the Lake, we scrapped together a collage of underwater snapshots as a seafarer might in commemoration of their love below. Press play on the monologue for her side of the story.

On Meeting Oshun

I first came across Oshun in a reading by a Yoruba priest. He said she watches over me and guides my path. After reading up on her, I found a lot of similar qualities in us both. She loves the beautiful and reflects those who rotate around her- much like myself.

An Inspiration

Oshun inspires a lot of my art. She is attached to gold, honey and mirrors. I reference these things visually in my music video “Love Pistol”. Studying my videos or lyrics you’ll hear many of these things interwoven.

Multidisciplinary Methods

Its important not to limit your own creativity. We are here to be architects and build. My art comes from the core of me- channeling in ways I do not completely understand, yet I embrace that ambiguity. When creating you are giving birth to new ideas and I understand this is more important than the vessel it comes through. Whether its rapping, filmmaking, modeling, etc., it's important to accept the many fashions my art chooses to manifest so that I may be fluid.
