Keiynan Lonsdale on Being Fully Seen, Vulnerability & Body High

Join in the conversation! Welcome back to another episode of the Hella Chisme Podcast This week join Dana on Hella Chisme Podcast for a soulful conversation with actor, dancer & musician Keiynan Lonsdale about giving yourself permission to be fully seen creatively, personally and unapologetically.

Keiynan opens up about growing up in Western Sydney finding safety in dance and music, how his big diverse family shaped his worldview, and how Michael Jackson shaped his commitment to excellence. He traces his evolution since Rainbow Boy, confronting his shadows, learning vulnerability as strength, and redefining masculinity on his own terms: true masculinity is graceful.

We get into his intentional creative process from gibberish to polished visuals, the business of being an independent artist, and his new single Body High — a grounded, physical feeling of peace that opens his upcoming slower R&B project about navigating relationships and finding peace after the storm. Tap in for storytelling, legacy, queer culture, community care and what it really takes to keep it moving forward.
