Alida Kinnie Starr
I’ve been making hip hop and folk and rock music for 25 years and have toured all over the world. I created a film called PLAY YOUR GENDER which addressed the lack of female producers worldwide (released in 2016). I scored EDGE OF THE KNIFE film, and am an experienced mentor who has worked at empowering young people and adults who are outliers - not native enough, not queer enough, not straight enough, not white enough, just … people who feel like they are not enough. I love working with outliers and have made music for the ones who don’t fit into the box since 1996. I work with minimal equipment for maximum results, and empower people to #usewhatyougot.
