Dailen Williams is a lot of things: a self-taught musician, a DJ, a visual artist, an educator, and an organizer. In her Queer dance-pop project she employs cheap old keyboards, guitar pedals and literal toys to create work characterized by buzzy basslines, shimmery drones, and secret polyrhythms.

A self-taught producer, Dailen began DJing and beatmaking in 2011, eventually going on to start various above and underground party-series around Providence with her peers, including the experimental club night Approximate (2016), the inflatable art installation series Ice Floe (2016-2018), the monthly queer dance party Hot Club II (2019-2020), the sober Queer party Que Dulce (2021-2022), and the local producer showcase Focus Group (2022-2023).

As a teacher Dailen prefers more a practical approach, grounding heady concepts in everyday examples and encouraging could-be artists to make beautiful work with what they already have. Dailen has prepared a deep, yet paletable curriculum that feels a bit more like a fun science class than a lecture.
