“Grant crafts songs with an inexorable flow and irresistible hooks… Air-tight lyrics and a soaring tenor. Grant uses drag to deliver a treasure trove of disarmingly sincere music.” —No Depression
Award-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record, Bible Belt Baby, was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards and was named one of the Top Ten Queer Country Albums of 2023 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine. Flamy is a finalist for Artist of the Year at the 2025 International Folk Music Awards and is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition, a nominee for the 2023 QueerX Award for Best Drag Artist, and a nominee for the 2023 Queerty Awards Drag Royalty. Both a powerhouse vocalist and an intrepid songwriter, Flamy blends the evocative art of drag with her iconic mix of country, gospel, folk, and roots music.
It’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s chart-topping pop artist. Much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by, harmed in, or ejected from religious spaces. With a bold lip, a big lash, and a blistering voice, Flamy drags audiences to a soulful, uplifting church of her own making.
