What does it sound like?
Sweet melodies, subversive lyrics, feel-good dance breaks and an epic Freddie Mercury piano molten centre - by British-born Chinese queer, trans-masculine, non binary artist, The Mollusc Dimension.
The emotions of multiple marginalisation of sinophobia, LGBTIQA+phobia and other isolating experiences, combined with luminous textures, irregular meter and cheeky fills takes you on a kaleidoscopic, decolonising musical adventure.
Why I wrote the song ASIANS HAVE FEELINGS TOO
I explain my reasons behind the composition of the song in the video I made to help fundraise for the music video.
If you’d like to see a heartfelt, trailblazing & ambitious music video featuring BESEA & LGBTIQA+ artists & crew, check out my fundraiser.

What do people think of Asians Have Feelings Too?
Here are some of their comments!
"Love it, best version yet!"
"I think it was a really interesting topic [to hear about being LGBTIQA+ and ESEA] as Asian parents don't usually talk about this."
"I really enjoyed being part of a creative project."
"It was fun to participate with a group-artist collaboration online!"
"I enjoyed AHFT because it was a really comfortable space, with great music and lovely people. Always a joy to be with others doing something creative. It was also a very informative event that addressed the much overlooked issues of discrimination against Asian people. Also it was great to have an exclusive preview of the sound of AHFT!"
"Thank you for the event. It was my first time on zoom so I was a little apprehensive and shy, but I had a really good time and enjoyed myself. It was also really inspiring to see everyone’s artwork and their ideas. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the funding and I hope everything will go smoothly.”
"I liked hearing your song so much I didn't want to leave and go to my family dinner."
"Wow Squid, you have an awesome voice! Excellent emoting, and I love your shirt too. Multi talented!"
