Much like her genre-spanning sound, California indie artist Phem defies all labels -- especially when it comes to her sexuality.
The performer, who blends hip-hop, rap, jazz and pop into something cerebral on her debut EP, Can't Kill Me, refuses to identify or label her queerness. "I don't identify with anything in particular," Phem tells Billboard. "It doesn't have to have a name on it. Just embrace it and make it your own because it's the truth." When it comes to her own sexual fluidity, Phem admits she's in a perpetual state of self-examination, a theme that permeates from the nucleus of her latest single, "Dont Giv Up on Me Yet."
