✨ Kathyria Quinones | KQ ✨ 🎵 Singer • Songwriter • Advocate 🤟 Proud CODA — Child of Deaf Adults ❤️ Certified ASL Interpreter 🌎 Deaf & Hard of Hearing Advocate 🇵🇷 Proud Puerto Rican ✨ Entrepreneur 👑 TasteMaker Approved Artist 🔥 Featured Trending Artist 🏆 Former #1 Fresh Drops Artist Music became another language for me — a way to turn real experiences, emotions, boundaries, healing, and hard-earned lessons into something people can feel. I grew up as a CODA, with American Sign Language as my first language, deeply rooted in the Deaf community while also embracing my Puerto Rican heritage. From an early age, I learned that a voice does not have to be spoken to be powerful — and that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, understood, and included. For more than two decades, I have dedicated my career to bridging communication and advocating for accessibility within the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. That work shaped the way I see people, stories, resilience, and connection — and it continues to shape the artist I am becoming. As KQ, I create music inspired by real life. My songs explore resilience, self-worth, boundaries, betrayal, healing, truth, courage, finding your voice, and the moment you finally decide that what happened to you will not define what happens next. I’m drawn to bold, cinematic Pop, K-Pop, EDM, and emotionally driven anthems — music that can make you dance while still saying something that hits deep. Some songs come from strength. Some come from scars. Some come from lessons I never asked to learn. But every song comes from truth. I write for the person who has ever had to rebuild, speak up, walk away, set a boundary, rediscover their worth, or find strength they didn’t know they had. My goal is not simply to tell my own story. It is to create a moment where someone listening stops and thinks: “That’s exactly what I’ve been feeling.” That connection is what matters most to me. Recognized as a TasteMaker Approved Artist, featured among EPonGO’s Trending Artists, and reaching #1 on Fresh Drops with “Still Here,” I’m grateful for every person who listens, connects, and becomes part of this journey. Beyond music, I also enjoy creating meaningful products and pursuing creative projects centered on beauty, expression, connection, and purpose. No matter the medium, the mission remains the same: To help people feel seen. To help people feel heard. To help people feel understood. To help people feel connected. 🎶 Music for the survivors. 🌸 Hope for the healing. 👑 Strength for the journey. Every scar has a story. Every crown has a reason. Still here. Still growing. Still becoming. — Kathyria Quinones | KQ
