She started making music around the time of her transition, and used songwriting as a way to vocalize her trans experience. Since then, she has performed on stages at Dallas Pride, The Kessler Theater and has tour across the country with Magic Wand.
Quotable: “One of my best friends told me I’m my strongest and most dynamic when I’m honest and vulnerable,” Dahlia Knowles, frontwoman of Lorelei K told KXT. “I hope people can hear that.”
Fun Fact: Intro 2018, Knowles performed with KXT host and artist Paul Slavens at Dan’s Silver Leaf for Improv Lottery, where artists are only allowed improvisation.
