BabiBoi, Rapper, Songwriter, Queer Artist

Dorian Delafuente, otherwise known as BabiBoi, is a rapper, songwriter and queer artist that is currently based in Austin, TX. He made his debut to the music industry with his first single “Go Insane!” featuring Ayesha Erotica which soon became an anthem for the underground club kids. Since then he's released an array of singles sampling house, trap, hip-hop, and pop beats featuring artists such as Drebae and GodIsMikey. Over the last few years, BabiBoi has performed at festivals such as SXSW as well as San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, and Houston Pride. He has performed alongside artists like Charli XCX, Dorian Electra, La Goony Chonga, Shygirl, Banoffee, and Jarina De Marco, and has been featured in national publications such as Billboard, Paper, GAYLETTER, and Nylon Magazine, as well as Texas publications: Austin Chronicle, SA Current, and Texas Ink Magazine.

 BabiBoi's raunchy demeanor and radical queerness is highlighted in his art as a way to give life to a community that is mis/under-represented in not just hip-hop but the music industry as a whole. He is a student at The University of Texas at Austin where he will receive his B.A. in Live Performance, and is also a member of The House of Lepore, a group of queer performance artists that host and perform at inclusive parties, line-ups, and kiki balls in Texas. BabiBoi's unapologetic, "dont-give-a-f**k" attitude paired with his subversive lyricism is why he is undoubtedly one of the biggest up and coming artists to look out for.”
