DORYAN

Pop artist with a twist, DORYAN is a bold, flamboyant performer whose music fuses theatrical drama with unapologetic queer energy. Tackling themes like LGBT rights and sexual liberation with a playful, irreverent edge, he creates songs that are as defiant as they are fun.

Born in Geneva, Switzerland, DORYAN moved to London in 2014 to chase his musical dreams. That same year, he won London’s Pride Got Talent, catapulting him onto stages across the UK and Europe. In 2016, he dropped his debut EP The Line, alongside jaw-dropping visuals for the LGBT rock anthem “Sinsation” and the pop-grunge fetish banger “Life Is Hard.”
In 2017, he penned Pride in London’s anthem, The Rest of Us, performed by over 20 London artists and released as a fundraising single.

When COVID halted Pride celebrations worldwide, DORYAN fought back with glitter, releasing Peach in 2021, a Y2K-flavoured queer extravaganza designed to recapture the dance-floor joy that the pandemic had stolen.

Now, after a four-year hiatus, DORYAN returns in full technicolour with Sex with Strangers, the first single from his forthcoming 2026 studio album.

Inspired by the divas of the 90s and early 2000s, as well as icons like Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson, DORYAN brings a traditionally “female” pop sensibility into a male solo act, serving high-drama performances, explosive hooks, and a fearless celebration of queer identity.
