Rezz Responds to Fans That ‘Misgender’ Her

Rezz has taken to social media to let everyone know that she is a girl and used the opportunity to touch on gender representation in EDM.

In a few posts, the producer had explained that she has been referred to with “he/him” pronouns and took the time to confirm that she is a woman. Rezz has curated a specific style and one that is gender-nonconforming. Her typical style has consisted of an all-black outfit with her hair in a ponytail, a black hat, and her iconic goggles since she began performing live.

She had gone on to explain that despite having an androgynous style, female representation in electronic music is important. In an industry dominated by men, Rezz has created space for her and other women to display their talents.

“I don’t mind to be misgendered, but there are genuinely [people] who have no idea “Rezz” is a girl. Yes, I am the one making those fat a** beats,” the artist wrote. From establishing HypnoVizion Records to headlining some of the biggest festival stages, Rezz has inspired numerous women to delve into electronic music. 

Whether it is as a DJ or a concert-goer, having representation for all groups of people is imperative. As Rezz continues to dominate and break boundaries, a growing number of women are stepping into music production and DJing.  

Rezz recently announced a direction towards bass music before the release of her new album ‘Can You See Me?’. The producer consistently shows her versatility as she drops dark mid-tempo tracks and moves towards a different era. She has collaborated with artists like fknsyd, Raven Gray, and Alice Glass. 

Rezz’s impact as a female producer in EDM cannot go unnoticed as she continues to evolve. Watch the visualizer for her newest single “DYSPHORIA” from the upcoming ‘Can You See Me?’ with HOLLY here:
