Meet the artist
Lt. Sunnie’s art is shaped by the places, people, and sounds that raised her. She moved from Michigan to Saint Paul, where Rondo became home - from childhood into adulthood. She remembers going to Benjamin E. Mays for elementary school, shooting hoops at the Martin Luther King Recreation Center, and making dances with friends in the studio. Summer programs and kids’ clubs gave her room to create and imagine what was possible.
Gospel music was part of her life from the beginning: she sang in the children’s choir, spoke in church, and joined in the creative arts. Gospel, R&B, hip-hop, rap, and the everyday richness of Black culture live in her music. So do the artists who have inspired her, from Ciara, Beyoncé, Victoria Monét, Queen Latifah, and Rapsody to Busta Rhymes, G-Unit, Joyner Lucas, Megan Thee Stallion, Missy Elliott, Cardi B, many more and a number of underground artists.
Verses of Power
Lt. Sunnie is a rap artist who brings her stories to life through rap, singing, and dance. Krump holds a special place in her practice—a dance form that began in South Central California with roots in praise dance and has grown into a global movement. Her lyrics rise from lived experience, collective grief, personal breakthroughs, and the ache of the world around her.
For her, music is more than expression: it is an archive, an oral newspaper, a cultural dispatch. Black music has always carried history, shared power, and spread the word. Through hip-hop, she documents what must be remembered and challenges what must change. She creates for people who need to feel seen, find courage in their own stories, and know they don’t have to shrink themselves to belong.
A Voice for Change
Lt. Sunnie creates from presence, not a distance. Her Blackness, queerness, and bold self-expression are part of how she moves through the world and makes her art. She carries her ancestors in the freedom to be herself - in her hair, clothes, voice, relationships, and choices - and honors the generations of Black women who fought for that freedom.
Her music also reflects what she has learned through community, solitude, prayer, and her evolving relationship with God. She hopes her work encourages people to be brave, trust who they are, and make room for their own path. And she creates with her (future) children in her heart: to leave them opportunity, a strong foundation, and steppingstones they can build on. Through every verse and performance, Lt. Sunnie is working toward a legacy that keeps moving long after her.
