Top LGBTQ+ Influencers & Content Creators in Singapore
Singapore’s LGBTQ+ creator scene is not just vibrant. It is layered, messy, funny, stylish, political, deeply personal, and honestly, long overdue for a proper spotlight.
As a gay man, I wanted this list to go beyond the usual “here are some popular queer influencers” roundup because visibility is not just about follower counts or pretty Instagram grids.
It is also about the people documenting queer life through podcasts, drag, comedy, fashion, family content, pageantry, storytelling, running clubs, and the everyday act of showing up as themselves in a country where that still takes courage.
From creators building inclusive communities to performers challenging what gender and identity can look like, these LGBTQ+ influencers and content creators in Singapore are not just entertaining audiences. They are helping more of us feel seen, heard, and a little less alone.
How these creators were selected
Built a strong following
A strong following was also part of the selection process, but follower count was not the whole story. Because let’s be real, numbers can be shiny, but they do not always equal impact.
I looked at whether these creators had built an audience that genuinely engages with their work, shares their content, attends their shows, listens to their stories, or trusts their voice.
In other words, this list celebrates creators who are not just visible but memorable.
Contributions to the LGBTQ+ community in Singapore
As a gay man, I wanted this list to go beyond the usual “who has the most followers?” approach. Visibility matters, yes, but so does the work behind it.
I looked for creators who have helped make LGBTQ+ life in Singapore feel a little more seen, whether through advocacy, art, humour, storytelling, nightlife, fashion, education, or simply showing up online as themselves.
Some are loud and fabulous. Some are thoughtful and intimate. Both matter.
That said, here are the top LGBTQ+ creators you should definitely follow.
Salome Blaque (@salomeblaque)
Who is she
Salome Blaque is a Singaporean drag queen, creative, performer, and founder of Singapore’s first drag bar, Tuckshop, as well as online wig store, WIGS BY SALOME. Behind the drag persona is Fadli Rahman, a fashion photographer whose creative work spans fashion, performance, nightlife, and visual storytelling.
What is she known for
Salome is known for creating spaces where drag is seen as more than a side act or a novelty. Her work has helped shape Singapore’s drag scene by creating platforms for performance, expression, and queer gathering.
The looks are fabulous, obviously, but the deeper contribution is in making drag feel like culture, community, and creative labour all at once. She was even featured in Vogue Singapore.
Why follow her
I would follow Salome Blaque because she represents the builder side of queer nightlife. Some people show up, perform, and leave.
Salome helps create the room in the first place. That matters because queer culture needs stages, organisers, aunties, troublemakers, and people willing to hold the spotlight steady so others can step into it too.
Cheeyang Ng (@cheeyangmusic)
Who are they
Cheeyang Ng is a Singapore-born singer-songwriter, composer, performer, and musical theater writer based in New York City. Long before their work reached international stages, they first became known in Singapore as the 16-year-old winner of the first season of Campus SuperStar in 2006. Very Channel U nostalgia, but with a much bigger second act.
What are they known for
Cheeyang is known for turning a breakthrough in a local singing competition into a serious musical theatre career shaped by queer, Asian, immigrant, and Singaporean identities.
After Campus SuperStar, they went on to study music and theatre, build a career in New York, and create work that explores family, memory, tradition, queerness, and belonging.
Their solo ritual musical LEGENDARY is especially meaningful because it blends Chinese mythology with queer identity, turning stories that did not always reflect people like us into something expansive, emotional, and alive.
Why follow them
I would follow Cheeyang because their journey feels like a rare and powerful full-circle moment for queer Singaporean visibility. They have spoken about once fearing that being queer would disappoint their parents, which is painfully relatable for many of us who grew up trying to be the “good child” before we even knew how to be ourselves.
To see them move from Campus SuperStar to award-winning musical theatre, while carrying queer Asian stories onto bigger stages, feels deeply satisfying. Sometimes representation is not just about being seen at home. Sometimes, it is about watching someone from home step into the world and make it listen.
Sean Foo (@mrseanfoo)
Who is he
Sean Foo is a Singaporean filmmaker, podcaster, entrepreneur, and LGBTQ+ media creator. He is best known as the founder of Dear Straight People, one of Singapore’s most visible LGBTQ+ media platforms, where queer stories are told with clarity, care, and a lot more nuance than mainstream media usually gives us.
What is he known for
Sean’s impact goes beyond simply “creating LGBTQ+ content.” Through Dear Straight People, he has helped document queer life in Singapore in a way that feels both personal and public.
One major milestone was when a Dear Straight People video won “Most Social Good Video” at a Mediacorp-led awards event, which was a pretty big win for queer visibility in Singapore. In a country where LGBTQ+ stories have often been pushed to the margins, that kind of recognition matters.
Why follow him
I would follow Sean because his work gives queer Singaporeans something many of us grew up without: a public archive of our own stories.
His content does not just entertain. It validates, educates, and creates space for conversations about family, love, identity, coming out, media representation, and what it means to be queer in Singapore. Basically, if you want LGBTQ+ content with both heart and backbone, he is one to watch.
Opera Tang (@opera.tang)
Who is she
Opera Tang is a Singaporean drag artist, performer, and visual storyteller known for blending drag, fashion, Chinese opera-inspired aesthetics, and deeply personal queer narratives. Her work is glamorous, yes, but it is also layered with culture, family, identity, and emotion.
What is she known for
Opera is known not just for her striking drag looks, but for showing what queer love and family acceptance can look like in real life.
Her content with her grandmother is especially powerful because it challenges the tired idea that being queer and having a loving relationship with a religious or traditional family member must be mutually exclusive. That matters. For many queer Singaporeans, family is not a simple topic, and Opera’s relationship with her grandmother offers a softer, more hopeful picture.
Why follow her
I would follow Opera because she reminds us that queer visibility does not always have to be loud in the obvious way. Sometimes, it looks like a grandparent showing up.
Sometimes, it looks like heritage being reimagined through drag. Sometimes, it looks like turning pain, beauty, humour, and performance into something that makes another queer person think, “Maybe I can be loved as I am, too.” And honestly, that hits.
Shawn Lim (@mediumshawn)
Who is he
Shawn Lim is a Singapore-based creator, authenticity coach, founder, and podcaster who speaks openly about queer identity, gender fluidity, parenting, neurodiversity, emotional growth, and inclusion. His content often feels more reflective than performative, which is refreshing in a feed full of people trying very hard to look like they are not trying.
What is he known for
Shawn is the founder of a storytelling-led media platform and podcast, the Human Algorithm, which helps founders and creators build authentic personal brands. His work touches on identity, self-acceptance, masculinity, queerness, parenting, and the emotional labour of becoming more honest with yourself. Shawn’s brand is heavily built on transparent storytelling. He frequently writes and speaks about overcoming a troubled youth (which included teenage arrests), financial struggles, and defying traditional societal boxes.
Why follow him
I would follow Shawn if I wanted content that slows me down in a good way. His voice feels grounded, which makes his work especially meaningful for queer people who are still figuring out who they are, how they want to show up, and what kind of life feels honest. Not everything needs to be a serve. Sometimes, the real serve is self-awareness.
Andee Chua (@andeecys)
Who is he
Andee Chua made headlines by holding one of Singapore’s largest same-sex weddings, defying the lack of legal recognition. He also gained national attention when a major hotel publicly featured him and his husband. He is known for his presence in fashion, fitness, lifestyle, and queer visibility, but his work has also expanded into something more community-centred.
What is he known for
He first garnered attention as the first Singaporean to walk for Milan Men's Fashion Week. Beyond modelling and social media, Andee founded OFF:FORM, an inclusive running club built around movement, wellness, and community.
That detail matters because queer spaces are not only created in bars, clubs, or Pride events. Sometimes, they are built through a weekly run, a shared routine, and the simple feeling of being welcomed into a group without needing to shrink yourself.
Why follow him
I would follow Andee because his platform shows a version of queer visibility that is confident, active, and grounded in community care. His content has the polish of someone who understands fashion and personal branding, but OFF:FORM adds another layer. It shows that influence can be used to gather people, not just impress them. And honestly, we need more of that.
Joshua Simon (@joshuasimonxl)
Who is he
Joshua Simon is a Singaporean radio presenter, voice actor, independent pop artist, podcast host, and media personality. Many people know him from his work in radio, while LGBTQ+ audiences may also recognise him as one of the voices behind The SG Boys podcast.
What is he known for
Joshua is known for moving between mainstream media and queer storytelling in a way that feels rare in Singapore. Through music, radio, and podcasting, he has contributed to conversations around gay identity, relationships, self-worth, and growing up queer in a society where many of us learned to edit ourselves before we even had the language for who we were.
Why follow him
I would follow Joshua because his content carries both polish and vulnerability. He knows how to communicate like a media professional, but he also brings in the emotional honesty that queer audiences often crave. That combination makes his voice feel approachable, thoughtful, and quietly important.
Hirzi Zulkiflie (@hirzi.official)
Who is he
Hirzi Zulkiflie is a Singaporean comedian, actor, host, writer, and content creator who first became widely known as one half of the iconic Munah and Hirzi duo.
Over the years, he has become one of Singapore’s most recognisable queer entertainment personalities and often performs as his drag persona
What is he known for
Hirzi is known for comedy, cultural commentary, digital content, live performance, and his willingness to say things that many people are thinking but not everyone dares to say out loud.
His work often sits at the intersection of queerness, Malay identity, Singaporean culture, politics, media, and public opinion. Subtle? Not always. Effective? Very often.
Why follow him
I would follow Hirzi because he brings bite, humour, and cultural memory to Singapore’s queer creator scene. His content can be chaotic, sharp, silly, uncomfortable, and painfully accurate, sometimes all in the same breath.
As a gay man, I appreciate creators who do not sanitise themselves just to be more acceptable. Hirzi’s work reminds us that queer visibility can be funny, loud, critical, and still deeply meaningful.
Nebulous Niang (@nebulousniang)
Who is she
Nebulous Niang is a queer female stand-up comedian based in Singapore. Her comedy often draws from her own life, including family, identity, womanhood, queerness, and the very specific madness of trying to exist honestly in a society that loves a neat little box.
What is she known for
She is known for bringing lesbian and queer perspectives into Singapore’s comedy scene without sanding down the awkward, painful, or ridiculous bits. What makes her work stand out is not just that she is funny.
It is that she uses humour to talk about the version of adulthood many queer people know too well, where you can follow the “right” path and still realise it was never built for you in the first place.
Why follow her
I would follow Nebulous Niang because she gives queer comedy a lived-in texture. Her work feels like listening to someone who has survived the script, torn it up, and decided to make the audience laugh while sweeping up the pieces.
As a gay man, I love creators who remind us that coming into ourselves can be messy, late, hilarious, and still completely valid.
Caydences (@cayydences)
Who is he
Caydences, also known as Cavin Chua, is a Singaporean TikTok creator and online personality with a massive social media following. His content is loud, expressive, chaotic in the best way, and very much built for people who enjoy internet humour with main-character energy.
What is he known for
Caydence is known for more than viral skits and catchphrases. He has also spoken publicly about personal struggles, online fame, emotional vulnerability, and identity, which gives his content more weight than people might expect at first glance.
He is also big on dropping bite-sized words of wisdom, encouraging his followers to take action to create the life they want. Beneath the comedy and drama, there is a creator who understands what it means to be watched, judged, loved, and misunderstood online.
Why follow him
I would follow Caydences because his content captures a very specific kind of Gen Z queer-adjacent internet culture: funny, fast, expressive, and sometimes surprisingly tender.
Not every post needs to be a deep TED Talk. Sometimes visibility looks like taking up space, being dramatic, making people laugh, and refusing to shrink yourself for the comfort of strangers.
Pearlyn and Brenda (@TwoMomsSG)
Who are they
Pearlyn and Brenda are a same-sex couple in Singapore and the parents behind TwoMomsSG. Their platform shares glimpses of family life, motherhood, love, and parenting from the perspective of a two-mum household in a country where LGBTQ+ families are still not always given the visibility or recognition they deserve.
What are they known for
They are known for showing that queer family life in Singapore is not some abstract debate topic. It is real, loving, ordinary, and deeply human. Their content matters because it gives people a look at what same-sex parenting can actually look like beyond stereotypes, fear, or political noise. Spoiler alert: it looks a lot like care, routine, joy, and two parents trying their best.
Why follow them
I would follow Pearlyn and Brenda because their platform offers something quietly powerful: proof of life. For queer people who wonder whether love, partnership, and family are possible here, TwoMomsSG gives a visible answer. Their content does not need to scream to be meaningful. It simply exists, and sometimes that is the most radical thing.
Becca D'Bus (@beccadbus)
Who is she
Becca D’Bus is a Singaporean drag queen, performer, producer, and organiser of queer events. She is one of the most established names in Singapore’s drag scene and is widely associated with RIOT!, a long-running drag revue that has helped bring drag performance to wider local audiences.
What is she known for
Becca is known for being sharp, political, funny, and impossible to ignore. Her drag is not just about glamour, although there is plenty of that. It is also about commentary, space-making, and challenging what Singapore thinks queer performance is allowed to be. She has helped drag become more visible, more organised, and more difficult to dismiss.
Why follow her
I would follow Becca D’Bus because she brings substance to spectacle. Her work reminds us that drag can be entertainment, but it can also be critique, history, protest, and community infrastructure. As a gay man, I appreciate queer creators who do not just ask to be included. They build the damn stage and host the show, too.
Fauzi Azzhar (@fauziazzhar)
Who is he
Fauzi Azzhar is a Singaporean content creator, actor, host, and online personality who describes himself as a “clowntent” creator. He is known for funny, expressive content, but he has also spoken openly about being gay in Singapore, recovery, family support, and personal growth.
What is he known for
Fauzi stands out because he mixes humour with emotional honesty. His content can be silly one moment and surprisingly vulnerable the next, which makes his voice feel more rounded than the usual “funny guy online” label. By speaking about identity, recovery, and self-acceptance, he shows that queer visibility can include both the jokes and the hard-won healing behind them.
Why follow him
I would follow Fauzi because he makes being human feel less embarrassing. His content has warmth, humour, and a kind of emotional openness that is easy to underestimate. For queer audiences, especially those navigating family, faith, identity, or self-worth, that kind of honesty can feel comforting without becoming preachy.
Plant Bro (@plantbro)
Who is he
Plant Bro, also known as Shawn Soh, is a queer Singaporean creator, designer, and internet personality currently based in Seoul. His content blends reflection, lifestyle, creativity, emotional growth, and the very relatable art of becoming a better version of yourself without pretending you have everything figured out.
What is he known for
Plant Bro is known for thoughtful, reflective content that speaks to young people, queer audiences, and anyone navigating change, ambition, loneliness, friendship, trauma, and coming out. He recently garnered attention for his series on his experience with conversion therapy and moving to Seoul to restart his life at 40.
He recently also started Enggusai, an initiative for English-speaking LGBTQ+ people living in Seoul to form their own community.
What's interesting is how he uses his personal journey to create a shared space for growth. It feels less like "look at my perfect life" and more like "here is what I am learning, come sit with it if you need to."
Why follow him
You should follow Plant Bro because his content is gentle but clear. He speaks directly to the part of us that's still figuring things out—which, let's be honest, is a very queer experience. His platform is like a diary entry mixed with life advice, a creative mood board, and a simple reminder: you're allowed to outgrow who you used to be.
Qatrisha Zairyah (@qatrisha_zairyah)
Who is she
Qatrisha Zairyah is a Singaporean model, beauty queen, fashion advisor, and trans woman who made history as Singapore’s first transgender finalist at Miss Universe Singapore. Her presence in pageantry matters because she stepped into a space that has long been tied to very traditional ideas of womanhood, beauty, and respectability.
What is she known for
Qatrisha is known for using pageantry as a platform for representation, not just as a stage for gowns, makeup, and perfect posture.
Her Miss Universe Singapore journey challenged narrow ideas of who gets to be seen as beautiful, feminine, and worthy of public celebration. That is not a small thing. For many trans people in Singapore, seeing a trans woman stand confidently in that arena felt like a door opening, even if only slightly.
Why follow her
I would follow Qatrisha because she brings grace, discipline, and visibility into spaces where trans women are still too often treated as an afterthought.
Her content is polished, but the deeper reason to pay attention is what she represents: resilience, self-definition, and the right to be seen without apology. Very beauty queen, yes. Also very “watch me take up space properly.”
Antasha Zahra Ulhaq (@antashazahra)
Who is she
Antasha Zahra Ulhaq is a Singaporean trans woman, artist, performer, and content creator. She uses her platform to share parts of her journey around self-expression, authenticity, beauty, performance, and what it means to live visibly as a trans woman in Singapore.
What is she known for
Antasha is known for bringing warmth, glamour, and honesty into conversations about trans identity. Her content does not only centre on transformation in the physical sense.
It also reflects the emotional work of becoming, healing, and learning to exist more unapologetically. That part matters because trans visibility is not just about being seen. It is also about being understood as fully human, with fear, joy, softness, ambition, and a whole life beyond the label.
Why follow her
I would follow Antasha because her content feels both expressive and affirming. She brings the pageant energy, the performance energy, and the “I am still growing into myself” energy, which is a beautiful combination.
I find that kind of visibility deeply moving because it reminds the wider LGBTQ+ community that courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it posts, performs, smiles, and keeps going.
Keep Discovering the Creators Shaping Singapore’s Queer Culture
Singapore’s LGBTQ+ creator scene is not one single story, and honestly, that is what makes it so powerful.
It is drag queens building stages, queer parents making family life visible, trans women claiming space, comedians turning pain into punchlines, and creators using fashion, podcasts, art, fitness, and storytelling to remind us that we have always been here.
As a gay man, I find that deeply moving. Because every post, performance, podcast episode, runway walk, and community space adds another thread to the bigger picture of queer life in Singapore. If you enjoyed this list, explore more stories, guides, and creator spotlights on the Markonmag blog. There is always another voice worth discovering.
