Growing up on a diet of hip-swinging, no-holds-barred Brazilian funk inspired Lia Clark to take centre stage, joining a wave of charismatic, boundary-busting drag artists that took the music scene by storm in the late 2010s. Bolstered by funkalicious bangers like “Trava Trava”, from 2016’s Clark Boom, the outspoken LGBTQ singer unleashed a blitz of unswerving beats and showstopping performances born for the dance floor. Hit collabs with the likes of pop star Wanessa Camargo also expanded to more melodic territory, while capitalising on Clark’s unmistakable instinct for effervescent jams.
