DJ/hip-hop artist Tori Fixx (or T-Fixx) is one of the first openly gay hip-hop artists on the scene. In 2007, music critic Ernest Hardy (Vibe, Rolling Stone) named Fixx the "most ready for prime time."

The Minneapolis-based recording artist was one of the original founding members of the San Francisco Bay Area based queer rap group, Rainbow Flava. Fixx has released a number of solo albums over the last decade including Marry Me which was nominated for a 2004 Outmusic Award for Outstanding New Recording - Male. In 2007, T-Fixx headlined for the hyped and historic HomoRevolution Tour.


Tori's latest release, Couture CR-2, is set to release November 11, 2008.

"Couture is me at the top of my game," Tori says of his new CD. "This much I promise. I've got a few hot duets and guest stars on this record. I've got dance tracks and ballads and I mean actual ballads. I've got the politics, the sex, and the gayness. It's all there."
