Recognized as the larger-than-life ambassador of New Orleans Bounce music, Big Freedia is a nationally acclaimed hip-hop artist, TV personality, and cultural icon. The Queen of Bounce made waves with her electrifying feature on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning hit, “Break My Soul” (2022), cementing her influence in mainstream music.

Beyond her three critically acclaimed EPs—‘3rd Ward Bounce’ (2018), ‘Louder’ (2020), and ‘Big Diva Energy’ (2021)—as well as full length, ‘Central City’ (2023), Big Freedia has been featured on some of the most iconic tracks in recent music history. She lent
her signature sound to Beyoncé’s “Formation”, Drake’s “Nice for What”, and even covered “Judas” for Lady Gaga’s Born This Way The Tenth Anniversary album in 2021. This summer, Big Freedia expanded her musical legacy with the release of her debut
gospel album, Pressing Onward (August 2025), featuring collaborations with Tamar Braxton, K. Michelle, and Billy Porter. The album, which reached no. 5 on the Gospel Music charts, was critically acclaimed by Billboard, Rolling Stone, and NPR among
others.

Big Freedia’s ascension in the music industry was chronicled over six seasons in the highly rated reality show, ‘Big Freedia Bounces Back’ from 2011-2016 on Fuse TV. A brand new series, ‘Big Freedia Means Business,’ chronicling Freedia’s triumphs in music, business and life debuted in 2023 on Fuse TV.

Big Freedia is known for her infectious energy and personality. In 2019, she was the official host for the Met Gala IG Live Stream Red Carpet event and a host of 2021's Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve TV celebration. Known by her fans as the “Queen Diva,” Big Freedia is a loud and proud advocate for racial and gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights.

In 2021, Big Freedia was honored as one of Ebony’s Power 100 and she has appeared on Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, NPR, The Breakfast Club, The Problem with Jon Stewart, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The
Real. Her critically acclaimed 2015 memoir, God Save the Queen Diva (Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster) was released in paperback in 2020.
