The Dominican rapper made her musical debut in 2018 with the single “Pícala,” and a steady stream of singles – including collaborations with J Balvin, Rosalía, Marshmello and Madonna – has transformed her into one of the leading exponents of dembow, a dance genre with roots in Tokischa’s native Dominican Republic.

In “Dime Como Hago,” the openly bisexual artist sings in Spanish, “I know you’re tired of him / In the nights, you dream about this girl.” With the release of her debut album Animal, Becerra received a Latin Grammy Award nomination for best new artist. He was a frequent critic of the internalized homophobia displayed by many of his peers, making his death a bitter reminder of why greater visibility for queer artists is an important step towards addressing gender and sexuality-based discrimination within the music industry.

On her Marshmello collab “Estilazo,” Tokischa proudly sings of same-sex attraction and exclaims “long live the gays,” while the rapper playfully shares kisses with Rosalía and Madonna in the music videos for their songs “Linda” and “Hung Up on Tokischa.” Tokischa says this frankness about her sexuality is part of expressing her authentic self in her work.

The 23-year-old Argentine singer, who is bisexual, got her start as an online content creator before self-releasing her debut EP “222” in 2019.
