2025 Boise Pride Festival Talent
Zolita
Zolita has always viewed her songwriting through the lens of a camera, envisioning how each lyric and note might play out on screen. This approach comes as no surprise - while beginning her career in music, the multi-hyphenate artist was sharpening her filmmaking skills at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Marrying these two artistic mediums into vibrant, narrative-driven music videos, Zolita’s unique approach to storytelling has earned her a fanbase captivated by the rich characters she brings to life. From the debut of her first song and viral video, to the breakout success of her “Somebody I F*cked Once” Trilogy in 2022 and now her most recent album, Queen of Hearts, her passionate and unapologetic approach to visual storytelling is at the core of her artistic identity.
Fancy Hagood
Fancy Hagood is an Arkansas native turned Nashville-based singer-songwriter whose journey has been defined by resilience, honesty, and joy. At 17, he left home with the dream of becoming an openly queer country artist—a path that first led him through pop stardom in Los Angeles, opening for the likes of Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor, before bringing him back to his true roots in country music.
His 2021 debut, Southern Curiosity, blended country, glam rock, and confessional pop, earning praise from Elton John, Brandi Carlile, and Rolling Stone, along with a nomination for Best Country Record at the 2022 Libera Awards. Since then, he’s collaborated with Kacey Musgraves, Orville Peck, and more, cementing his place as a fearless voice in modern country.
With his sophomore album American Spirit (out October 25), Hagood fully embraces his vision: creating music that builds community, heals, and uplifts. Infused with gratitude, vulnerability, and a deep love for country traditions, the album showcases his reclaimed joy and self-assured artistry.
Plane Jane

Plane Jane is an enigma, but one thing is for sure—she is undeniably extremely hot, and very sexy. This AUTHENTICALLY Russian bimbo may be shady, but she’s a helluva lady. So fasten your seatbelts, because with this self proclaimed campy diva, you’ll be on a never ending flight!
