Henry Fry (he/him) grew up a gay vegetarian butcher’s boy in rural Southwest England. After stints as a theatre designer, journalist, copywriter and briefly manager of a crystal shop, he is now a writer, designer and LGBTQIA+ activist living in London.
His words have appeared everywhere from national magazines, sites and apps to protest placards and toilet cubicle walls. First Time For Everything is his first novel, (think a gay man's Bridget Jones) which he has adapted for TV in collaboration with Moonriver Content.
A “big-hearted” (The Daily Beast), “LOL-worthy” (Cosmopolitan) debut about a down-on-his-luck gay man working out how he fits into the world, making up for lost time, and opening himself up to life’s possibilities

QUEEN Sir JET (her/he/they) is an American queer pop artist best known for his mixture of masculine bodybuilder looks combined with his effortless matching of feminine costumes and lingerie. The “Sir” in his name is a reference to being “everyone’s knight in shining armor” along with the “JET” being his initials. JET, a former agoraphobic mute, began singing in an attempt to reclaim his voice. It was from there he began not only pursuing a singing career, but also a journey of fitness and interest in the male body itself.
As he explains in many of his popular Youtube vlogs, the male body can be adorned with anything that makes one feel beautiful, including clothing originally designed for women. Sir JET released his first EP dedicated to his gender fluidity, Shout-out to the Lonely, in 2012. JET followed that up with the first Sir JET full length album, Empowered Bottom, which chronicled the emotional and physical journey he went through getting into the adult film business. His latest single ALIVE saw JET work with acclaimed Canadian music producer Velvet Code, adding the name “Queen” to the beginning of his name in order to reflect a new image and his first release on a label, So Fierce Music.
