(She/Her/They/Them)
Age: 23
From: London
Occupation: Singer

“I’m super proud! This show was important to me to highlight beautiful things like love & friendship so I’m glad this show does that and I was able to be part of it.”

Thea lives in London with her mum and twin sister, who also identifies as queer. Thea’s family are of West African and Lebanese heritage.

Thea is a singer and musician and is known for her mix of R&B and neo-soul vibes. She is passionate about better representation for women-of-colour in the music scene, especially for darker skin toned girls like herself.

Thea loves to connect with people through her music. “Finding love for ourselves and others in our generation regardless of gender identity can be so difficult and I love that I express that in my music. Also being able to write from a perspective where I can speak about my partners and paint quite a beautiful picture with my words.”

Thea has an open heart and loves to love. She says she wouldn’t have it any other way but does recognise that her open heart can expose her to heartbreak, especially on the queer dating scene which can be ‘brutal’.

Thea loves to express her personality and stand out from the crowd, and she’s known for her love of the colour pink. She is very confident in her own skin and her queerness, and she’s entering the Masseria to look for that special connection to share her life with.
