There are artists who make music, and then there are artists who create moments. Kaleena Zanders is doing both: loudly, unapologetically, and with so much heart.

Whether you first heard her on her breakout single “V I B R A T I O N” or saw her name on a stacked festival lineup, you’ve probably already felt her energy. She’s a singer, DJ, producer, and full-on vibe curator, and her mission is clear: move bodies, move hearts, and open the door for more Black, queer artists to take up space in dance music.

Kaleena Zanders performed at the World Pride Music Festival, and it was impossible not to get pulled into her orbit. Her set was electric. Her voice was massive. And when we got the chance to interview her, she was one of the most genuine, joyful people we’ve ever met.

“Performing at World Pride is a complete honor,” she told us. “As a queer person myself, it means the world to have my own kind to sing to and dance with. It’s beautiful.”
