Miss Grit talks about how their debut LP, 'Follow the Cyborg' helped them explore being nonbinary.

“The cyborg being such a limitless entity was something that inspired me to kind of take my own identity into my own hands,” Miss Grit says. “There’s so much that people are born into when it comes to gender roles or racial stereotypes. There’s so much that our environment has an effect on how we see ourselves. I was really inspired to take my own identity into my own hands and figure out what it was that I felt about myself and how I wanted to be portrayed to the outside world.”
