Now, with “NUMB,” she takes her musical journey to new heights, teaming up with fellow New Yorker and rapper Dai Burger to create an seductive video perfect for the summertime.
“It was the last minute video. We shot it in Miami. I’m based in New York, and Dai Burger, the featuring artist on a song is based in New York as well. So we were like, you know what, let’s create this like something super cool and where can we get ourselves together?
“So we actually took a trip to Miami. I planned everything. I wanted to make something edgy because the, that song itself, the lyrics are quite edgy.”
Though the song is known as a party anthem, it’s lyrics hold a powerful message about self-love and powering through difficult times.
Put your guns down
Bet your time on it
It will end
But very slowly
Just honor your world
Honor your world
Whatever’s your goal
Never give up
Keeana expressed that her music and writing serve as her outlets for venting, allowing her to articulate the words she craves to hear. Then when she is ready, she shares it with the world.
Watch the Music Video for “Numb”
As an active member of the LGBTQ community, Keeana fearlessly celebrates queer female sexuality, a trait evident not just in her music but also in her visually striking videos.
Keeana and Dai Burger are joined by DJ Citizen Jane and music artist Ariana Castelli, forming an all-lesbian cast. The casting aligns with Keeana’s unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and breaking down stereotypes through her art.
Being Her True, Unapologetic Self
Keeana Kee’s remarkable journey from Latvian-born, London-raised fashion supermodel to a musical sensation with an indomitable spirit is nothing short of inspiring. Drawing inspiration from iconic ’90s divas like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Beyoncé, Keeana infuses her music with a refreshing blend of sensuality and fun, uplifting listeners and empowering them to embrace their authenticity.
To this day, LGBTQ+ artists can face prejudice and bias from individuals in the industry just because of their sexuality, but Keeana does not let this faze her.
“A lot of producers, videographers, anyone in the industry, when they find out, ‘oh, she’s a lesbian.’ I don’t know what the problem is, but that’s the reality.
“But you know what, there’s always people, there are always people who will love you for who you are, and that’s who you wanna have. That’s the following I wanna have. If you don’t like me, I’m sorry. Like, you don’t have to look at me or be following me or anything. And so I’m very happy to have the following that’s real and close to me and a lot of queer people, and I’m just, it’s joy, pure joy.”
What’s Next for Keeana Kee
“Well, I’m working on the new album, so stay tuned. I’m super excited to share that with you. We have a few more videos coming out. The next one is “Let’s Make Love” and “Genius.” I’m also posting a lot of little snippets on my social, so follow me on Instagram, TikTok, anywhere. I’m everywhere and you can stay tuned.”
Keeana will also be playing a concert later this year at The Dinah Shore. “It’s going to be my first time there ever,” she gushed. “And I’ve heard so much about it. I saw so many videos. I am super excited. It’s like the world’s biggest LGBTQ, non-binary event in the world that I know about.”
The festival will take place from September 20-24th in Palm Springs, California. Keeana will perform on Sunday at the Funday Pool Party.

Former ‘Bachelorette’ Star Gabby Windey is Dating a Woman
Former Bachelorette and Dancing With the Stars runner-up Gabby Windey is opening up about her current relationship status.
“I’ve been keeping it a little more private because it is a bigger story and a bigger conversation, because I’m dating a girl.”
In an exclusive interview on The View, Winder spoke about her time on the popular reality dating series and her engagement to Erich Schwer.
“I had such an amazing experience on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, dating all those men. That’s how people know me,” Windey said. “But I just want to live my truth and my story, so I have been seeing someone for a couple months.”
The reality star acknowledged how this may surprise some of her followers and opened up about her journey of discovering her sexuality.
“I think there was always a whisper in me that just got louder and louder,” she said. “I didn’t really know to pay attention to it. I think when this happens, there’s some shame surrounding it, so I had to navigate through the shame: What is it, where is it coming from? But I always want to do me, do what I want, figure it out later.”
Who is Gabby Windey Dating?
Her girlfriend, Robby Hoffman, is a comedian and TV writer. Windey said when she met Hoffman, she felt an instant connection.
“She is so special, she makes me feel so safe, so loved. A love that I always wanted going on these dating shows.”
Windey first appeared in the Bachelor Nation as a contestant on Clayton Echard’s season in 2021. She then appeared in season 19 of The Bachelorette alongside Rachel Recchia. Though she left the season engaged to Erich Schwer, the two announced their breakup last November.
She also took to Instagram to tell her followers directly about her new relationship and share some adorable photos of her and Hoffman happily in love.
“I just want to be honest.” She continued, “I don’t want to live and not be living my full truth, I don’t want to do that to myself, I don’t want to do it to my girlfriend, I don’t want to do it to people who care about me and feel like they know me.”
Becca Tilley, a former Bachelorette now dating lesbian pop star Hayley Kiyoko, wrote her support on Windey’s post and other friends from the show, including Demi Burnett, Kaitlyn Bristowe, and Ben Higgins.

‘Heartstopper’s Kit Connor and Joe Locke Talk the Future of Nick and Charlie
Will Nick and Charlie be boyfriends even in adulthood? The Heartstopper cast is putting in their predictions.
We are days away from the season two premiere of Netflix’s popular queer drama series, Heartstopper, but we are already looking to the future.
The burly rugby player, Nick Nelson fell for the shy and nerdy Charlie Spring in season one. Ever since their hands first brushed and the audience saw the sparks between them fly, we have all been obsessed with knowing where their relationship will go next. In season two, Netflix has hinted that Nick is planning to come out as bisexual to more people and he and Charlie are still navigating what being boyfriends looks like for them.
Readers of the webcomic that the series is based on, by Alice Oseman, know a bit more about what the future has in store for the adorable couple. But with many more volumes still unwritten, nothing is set in stone. However, Locke and Connor are optimistic.
“The hope would certainly be that they’re still together,” Connor recently told The New York Times. Locke agreed with his costar and said he predicts the two will build a family together. “They’re meant for each other,” Connor added, saying, “Happy would be nice.” “Yeah. Just happy,” Locke said.
Season two of Heartstopper will hit Netflix on August 3. Read the official synopsis and watch the full trailer below.
Heartstopper Synopsis:
“Nick and Charlie navigate their new relationship, Tara and Darcy face unforeseen challenges and Tao and Elle work out if they can ever be more than just friends. With exams on the horizon, a school trip to Paris and a prom to plan, the gang has a lot to juggle as they journey through the next stages of life, love and friendship.”

‘Loki’ Season 2 Trailer is Full of Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston Bromance
The bisexual God has returned!
It’s been a little over a year since Disney+ first released the Marvel original series dedicated to the adventures of our favorite Norse trickster. Now, Loki (played by the handsome Tom Hiddleston) is back, and he’s causing even more trouble in the timeline.
Loki Comes Out
Fans rejoiced last season when the God of Mischief finally confirmed his sexuality in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and became the first lead canonically queer character.
Here is how the conversation between him and Sylvie (an alternate version of Loki played by Sophia Di Martino) went down in season one.
“How about you? You’re a prince. Must have been would-be princesses. Or perhaps another prince?” Sylvie asks
“A bit of both,” Loki replies. “I suspect the same as you. But nothing ever-“
“-real,” Sylvie finishes.
In season two, we see the return of Sylvie and of Mobius, a former Time Variance Authority agent specialized in investigating and analyzing particularly dangerous time criminals – such as every version of Loki. The two grew close the first season, and they only get closer as time progresses. Much to the delight of many Lokius fans.
Watch the trailer for Loki below to see the chaotic duo go on various adventures together – often in matching outfits!
What is Loki Season Two About?
According to Marvel, the season will follow “Mobius, Hunter B-15, and a team of new and returning characters, as Loki navigates an ever-expanding and increasingly dangerous Multiverse in search of Sylvie, Judge Renslayer, Miss Minutes, and the truth of what it means to possess free will and glorious purpose.”
The trailer also shows the return of the infamous Kang the Conqueror and introduces a new character played by Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan.
Season 2 of Loki will premiere on Disney+ on October 6.
