Genesis Be

Genesis Be is a critically acclaimed Hip Hop artist, painter and healer originally from Biloxi, Mississippi. Her hip hop catalog boasts eight original albums and her work has been featured in Billboard, Yahoo Music, LA Times, VICE and more. A graduate from NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, and Moral Courage Award winner, Genesis incorporates themes of social justice, sensuality and abstract minimalism in both her visual art pieces and her music.

Her premiere solo art exhibit People Not Things, debuted March 2019 in Los Angeles and opened in Brooklyn’s Bishop Gallery that August. Her unique perspective explores and challenges our concepts of humanity, exploitation, race dynamics, queer identity and sensuality using multimedia. Her work is often self-critical and satirical at times.

“My goal with my word & my art, is to bring human dignity to the forefront of our divided World. To advocate for compassion, vulnerability and the burning need for freedom. Every piece is born from unapologetic love, permission to be all of me and as a nod to my inner child. With all her simplicity and complexity, I make space for the entire World. I believe in the good of humanity with all my heart though she has broken it many times. Consider this my small contribution, to move the unmovable, to tell the truth through hands clasped over ears, to nudge out what little space I can so that the next lover may thrive” - Genesis Be
