Nomi Ruiz: The Trans Superstar of Tomorrow

Nomi Ruiz, voice of Hercules and Love Affair and her new band Jessica 6, gave The New Gay a few moments of her time... and yes, we're in a furnace room. It was actually the quietest room in the club. Ms. Ruiz was kind enough to open up about musical inspirations, her trans fanbase, and what kind of attention she's gotten from the queer press

Tracksuit guy here. I'm kinda inherently awkward as it is, but the setup was making it worse. That furnace was going off every couple minutes and I kept anticipating when it would interrupt an otherwise lovely conversation.

Resident Alien, you are either making a joke or you have severely missed the point.

The interviewer is so cute! I love Nomi and the Jessica 6 album, it's gorgeous. I wish they'd come to the UK.
