QT

Hayden Dunham is an American performance artist and musician known for portraying the character QT, an abbreviation for the character’s name, Quinn Thomas. Dunham grew up in Austin, Texas and attended the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU. Before beginning the QT project, Dunham was a graphic designer and artist. She began producing music after meeting British music producer SOPHIE after running into her at a few events and performances. She then met internet music label, PC Music, label head A. G. Cook through his music online. She collaborated with the two on her debut track. Dunham said she initially wanted to make a song as a way to promote the DrinkQT energy drink, and specifically wanted them to repeat the name of the product often throughout the song. As a character, QT is technically a virtual character; a pop singer and representative of the semi-fictitious DrinkQT energy drink. QT describes the drink as an “energy elixir”, and has seen limited releases at QT performances. Journalists have described the drink as tasting like Redbull, yet with a more tart taste. She has been likened to Hatsune Miku, another virtual character. Her voice is very high pitched, and her vocals are often very fast in flow. QT sings about boys, young love, and other generic bubblegum pop themes in her music. She also heavily promotes DrinkQT in her interviews, songs, and music videos. Currently, QT has only officially released one song, Hey QT, which garnered much publicity and attention in the press for it’s abstract sound and energetic production. QT is currently signed to XL Recordings.
