Caleb De Casper
From the horror cabaret and glam rock of his past to his current dark synthpop sound, Austin-based performer and LGBTQ+ activist Caleb De Casper always brings a stunning in-your-face theatricality to his music and live shows. The classically trained pianist and vocalist stalks the stage in avant-garde gowns, vivid glam-on-acid makeup and the ever-present stiletto heels, confidently declaring that masculinity comes in many different forms.
In April of 2022, Caleb De Casper Day was proclaimed by the City of Austin, recognizing his contribution to the culture of his adopted hometown. He was an official artist at SXSW 2022 - 2024, headlined and co-headlined multiple Pride Festivals and played Austin City Limits Fest 2022 (his performance was named a "Most Memorable Moment") as well as Utopia Fest, Houston's Art Car Festival, Thin Line Fest and Polacon and was named Artist of the Month for June 2022 by tastemaker radio station KUTX 98.9. More recently, De Casperhas been making waves speaking out for LGBTQIA rights at the Texas State Capitol and beyond while writing his sophomore album.
