#BORNTOMIX

Introducing: Olly Alexander & The Absolut Choir, formed of inspiring changemakers, pioneers and creatives. Together we are raising the volume on important causes including body positivity, self-love and equal rights.

Together we are louder.
Together we can make the whole world listen.

This is the second of our #BornToMix creative collaborations, celebrating the power of mixing it up – in drinks, in ideas and in life, all to create a better tomorrow.

Ila

 

Trans Voices is the UK’s first professional trans+ choir co-founded by artists ILĀ and Coda Nicolaeff. Affiliated with world-leading alternative choir London Contemporary Voices, Trans Voices launched in 2022 with ‘Reclaim’ – a Guardian documentary centred on trans joy which premiered at Shon Faye’s sold out Rio Cinema show.

 

 “We’re all born screaming – as trans people, we’re here to reclaim our voices – to tell our own stories unapologetically, loudly, joyfully. The biggest leaps in culture happen when marginalised voices mix.  Being a world first, this project is a bold reminder that queer joy truly is an act of resistance.”

Sian

Sian

 

 

After losing her leg and becoming disabled in 2013, Sian didn’t know the impact this would have on her life as she knew nothing about disabilities. Sian had to learn how to live life again and one of the biggest lessons of all was to learn how excluded disabled people were in society. She was able to find the confidence and the voice within to try and break down the stereotype that disabled people can’t live a fulfilled and successful life.

 

“My Body is a Disabled one but that’s not the issue, it’s people outdated Views.

I’m so honoured to work with Absolut on this incredible campaign because we were all Born to mix.”

“The people in this collective have been excluded, fetishised and demonised for simply being who we are. But that’s not us, that’s the stories others tell. This project cuts through that static noise. It’s liberating to have our voices amplified when we speak our truth.”
