Episode 17 - SuperKnova

Hello I Am Human

I’m talking with electro-pop artist SuperKnova. SuperKnova is a one-woman band created by multi-instrumentalist Ellie Kim who writes, produces, and records all her own music.

Ellie shares how she honed her guitar skills studying jazz in college, but always loved the accessibility of pop music to reach a wider audience. While her music has a strong queer focus she says its message is for everyone because we all deserve to live our authentic lives and be treated with respect.

Respect is something so many of us seek in life. Ellie shares how she got her medical degree as a way to prove she had value in the world and how it took working through her own internalized transphobia, racism, generational trauma for her to fully embrace herself.

This conversation was so powerful for me and honestly helped me embrace different parts of myself in a new way. I hope you find something beautiful in it too.
