Celebrated as a vibrant figure in the LGBT community and lauded by the New York Times for his “genuine originality,” Rufus Wainwright has made significant strides as an artist. Born in New York and raised in Montreal, this distinguished singer-songwriter has released an impressive array of ten studio albums, three DVDs, and three live albums, including the Grammy-nominated Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall. His collaborations span a spectrum of icons from Elton John to Boy George, reflecting his deep connection with artists across various facets of pop culture. Notably, his engagements with other openly LGBT artists like Elton John and Boy George highlight his active role in the community. He has also made considerable contributions to the arts with two operas and numerous soundtracks for film and TV, and is currently developing his first musical for the West End alongside a Requiem. His latest GRAMMY® and JUNO nominated album, Unfollow the Rules, marks a pinnacle in his career, showcasing his matured, fearless artistic spirit. Wainwright’s most recent endeavor, the studio album Folkocracy, features a collection of folk duets with prominent figures including Brandi Carlile and Anohni, further celebrating his influence and advocacy within the LGBT community.
