The American singer-songwriter, who is not averse to female pronouns despite Define yourself as a ‘non-binary’ person or ‘gender fluid’ (fluid sexual genre), is above all a scenic animal, whose tiny body expands sinuous and marching to transform it into a monumental colossus, capable of collect all kinds of objects that the public are throwing at him and sign themwhile reeling off song after song, a brilliant and melodious repertoire in equal parts.
