BabiBoi at Coconut Club Rooftop
Dorian Delafuente, better known as BabiBoi, is a Queer rapper/songwriter from San Antonio that is currently based in Austin, TX. BabiBoi began his music career as a way of expressing a part of his identity that felt repressed throughout his upbringing. He utilizes his raunchy demeanor and radical queerness as an instrument to bring life to a community that is mis/under-represented in the music industry as a whole.
Since 2017, he has worked to gain a loyal following and has performed at festivals such as SXSW and San Antonio/Austin/Dallas/Houston Pride. He has performed alongside artists such as Charli XCX, Shygirl, Dorian Electra, and La Goony Chonga; and his music has been featured in publications such as The Austin Chronicle, The San Antonio Current, GAYLETTER, Nylon, Paper, Billboard, and Inked Magazine.
When not creating music, he spends his time as a founding member of "The House of Lepore", a group of Queer performance artists dedicated to bringing ballroom/vogue culture to the forefront of Central Texas.
BabiBoi's unapologetic, "dont-give-a-fuck" attitude paired with his lyricism is why he is undoubtedly one of the biggest up and coming artists to look out for.
