      Word on the street is that Elle Barbara's a star. Period.

      A pillar of Montreal’s music and queer arts scenes, Elle Barbara has released her first full length album, Word On The Street. Released in 2025, the album has set up an exciting year ahead with a headlining performance at Theatre Outremont. Written, composed, arranged, and produced by Elle Barbara over the course of nearly a decade, while at times living through real life challenges as a trans person. It's a special homage to Montreal creativity, to artistry and especially a Black, sex non-conforming Femme existence.
