Dreamer Isioma on Astrology, Childhood Cartoons, and Confronting Religion | Close Friends


Both the enigma and the righteous leader, Dreamer Isioma does not wish to be understood—it would only dilute their mission. Instead, they are led by complex narratives and radical revolution, confronting the broken systems that have kept black, queer, and trans people disempowered. With hundreds of millions of streams and a roaring fanbase, it seems they’re exactly on track.

Integrating elements of spirituality and astronomy, Dream Isioma has a story to tell. Following the release of their dynamic sophomore album Princess Forever, we spoke with the spirituous creative on social media, astrology, and protecting their queer identity amidst their Nigerian upbringing.
