The second guest to join us on our UY Pride Podcast is local Berlin artist Lie Ning.

Growing up in Berlin, Lie Ning IG: @lie__ning was exposed to a mixture of languages, images and melodies from an early age on, creating an interest for dance, fashion and fine arts. Music especially. From early on his mother showed him a world of rhythm and melodies, which would never let go of him again. His voice emerged as the most powerful means of expression. Everything he couldn’t convey visually he wrote into songs.

Lie has been a long time friend of the studio, having worked on some early campaigns with UY in earlier years. When brainstorming the plan of our podcast at UY we immediately wanted to invite Lie to join. Within UY they are fondly spoken of and remembered for their kindness and realness. We felt they would be great to speak with as a artist having grown up in Berlin, as an activist and as a POC queer artist working within the music industry. 

In this podcast we sit down with Lie Ning to discuss Pride Month in Berlin. We discuss activism within the LGBTQI+ community, obstacles within the music industry as a queer artist, and their approach towards showing kindness to others. 

About UY’s Pride Podcast:

July is Pride month in Berlin and we have decided to raise our collective voices a bit louder…

We wanted to share the conversations of UY beyond the studio… Conversations about our shared queer experiences, the importance of active representation, and the needs of the LGBTQI+ community.

These conversations within our team and community are ongoing daily discussions which push and inspire us. We want these intimate moments over the years to reach a wider audience, to magnify the voices of the LGBTQI+ community, and to encourage more PRIDE!
