The WavysTo make music like Medusa’s, you need three things: thick beats, visceral melodies, and an axe to grind. A storyteller, the “revenge-pop” artist aims to transform tales of queer joy and pain into music. And they make good on the promise; their production style features samples like wolf howls and cheerleading chants as often as distorted basslines. By stacking layers over aggressive beats, Medusa builds symphonies that feel larger than life. The result is a blend of synth pop, hip-hop, EDM, and post-hardcore with a cinematic edge.
In 2023, Medusa became a member of Keychange's inaugural USA cohort. Playing stages like NYC Pride and SXSW, Medusa continues to center advocacy in their career. As a member of RAMPD, they celebrate neurodiversity. In 2025, Medusa co-wrote Love Cure from Chris Redding's GRAMMY®-nominated album, The Colors In My Mind, alongside Lachi and Jay Manuel (MiniProducer). Since 2023, Medusa has served as "Consigliere" on the advisory board of The Wavys. With several awards under their belt and a legion of dedicated followers dubbed “The Gorgang” by their side, Medusa looks forward to soundtracking the process of self-actualization and empowering fellow outcasts for years to come.
