My daughter's classmate once gave her a list of musicians she liked and it was pretty much just a list of transfem Canadians. Neither of them are trans and I'm not out, so it was entirely coincidental.
Probably still Wendy Carlos. The Clockwork Orange soundtrack is tight, and was pioneering.
Recently got into Lex Walton. She’s pretty obscure, you’ve probably never heard of her lol!
Sophie is incredible. She made one of my favorite albums of all time, Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides. Highly recommend for fans of experimental pop and club music.

I'm a fan of Owlbear. They're a power metal band with a transfem vocalist, and she also has a black metal solo act. I've been to a couple of shows with Owlbear in the lineup and they're even better live.
Cab Ride Home, another metal band with a trans vocalist, had a pretty good album and a couple of EPs, but went on hiatus since she's now a senator in Virginia.
replies:
Lena Raine is the first person in my mind, some people were very hard on her being C418's successor. But I believe she's actually great, haven't listen to her other works tho.
replies:
Laura Jane Grace is my favorite artist I love Against Me! And her solo works. Saw her concerts a few times shes really good
replies:
For transmasc: Dylan and the moon! He has a few songs that he rerecorded after his transition and mixed together to create a duet with himself! https://youtu.be/ojSmc7s1rgU

Lena Raine!
replies:
I saw Sarah and the Safe Word at a Bear Ghost concert and they were pretty fun, the lead singer is transfem and pretty sure all the other members identify as queer

Cheap Dirty Horse
A UK punk band
Highlights include "On the rob" and "I transed your dad"

FOXCULT FOXCULT FOXCULT!!!

I listen to Astrid, FEM&M, and shteppi a lot
Boy Clothes is a great emo-ish band from Nashville. The bass player is fantastic and I wish I could remember the stage name she uses for her solo stuff. I'll add it if my brain decides to work.
Obligatory StomachBook, Femtanyl, and Changeline.

Against Me! remains GOATed
Honorable mention to Wendy Carlos the mother of electronic music. Seriously, she basically completely revolutionized music by helping develop the moog synthesizer then winning a grammy by releasing an album of Bach on it (in 1968), transitioned in 1968, publicly came out in 1979, and is still around today in her 80s. She also did the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange, the Shining, and Tron.
Kim Petras is also worth bringing up here, especially since this thread is really punk. I'm not much of a pop girlie, but her music is pretty dang good, and she's also won a Grammy, made all the more impressive by doing it while openly trans.
I love The Bedroom Witch. If Synthpop Darkwave is your thing I recommend you check it out.
replies:
Idk if she is my favorite but damn i love jasmin.4.t, she just has this very chill and nice vibe to it and a beautiful beautiful voice! Plus she definetly deserves more love aswell!
replies:
Not my personal favorite but my wife really likes Rainbow Kitten Surprise. The lead singer came out as trans a few years back.
replies:
I don't listen to that many transfem artists, though my favourite artist, Jamie Paige, is one of the few. I can also recommend shteppi.
Also a notable mention for a small non-trans artist: hiSwaps!
Musithical are transfem+plural, discovered them recently and am now a huge fan. be warned, their lyrics are mostly not particularly subtle and can get rather dark

Um… Axis of Awesome?
(I don't even listen to them that much but I feel exposed for not having any bands with trans singers in my collection)
There's a bunch of trans punk bands here, Crop Tops and Heterophobes are probably my top two
LGBTQ-friendly: Ross Federman (from Tally Hall)

Of course I listen to femtanyl as well and other artists I might not even know are trans, lol.
I’ll just leave this here cause it’s hilarious and very good.
Not trans, but I'm a big fan of KFlay. For specifically trans I probably have to go with Steam Powered Giraffe, although she unfortunately left the band recently (amicably). Both are fantastic live
replies:
I believe Cheap Perfume has a trans member. They're also awesome
Cynthoni 💜
Ezra Furman is my all-time fave! Her music is so beautiful and full of vivid, idiosyncratic imagery. If you havent heard of her elsewhere she did the soundtrack for Sex Education.
Myself :D
Outcast stomp by G.L.O.S.S. is a favorite of mine
Eris drew and octa octa they just released a wonderful acid, breakbeat album as alchemical sisters. It is a testament, a statement. Transfemmes on top of their game shaking up electronic dance music. Its just so ridicoulesely fun
I really like https://open.spotify.com/album/25PRPqWH5Z3fOR2CHocRDq !!!
Walls of Jericho 🤘
Nirvana :^)
Gen and the Degenerates make some fun queer punk.
Cam Girl!
