Adrian Marie Blount was born in San Diego, California at 14:30 making them a Libra with a moon in Sagittarius and a Capricorn rising.

From an early age they knew they wanted to be involved in the performing arts and auditioned for a play at their elementary school. They were cast in the production and during their moment on stage, they decided to make up the lines that they were supposed to recite which  effectively threw the entire production off. 

Bad Bitch!

Yet, from that point on they knew they loved being on stage. In 2008 they began their theatre studies at Mesa College where they learned 'the formula' of acting, studied dance,  sound design, costume design and light design.

After receiving their Associates of Arts degree they furthered their education at San Francisco State University. There, they learned more about gender variation and sexuality, and used this knowledge to inform the acting roles they played.  

Since graduation, Adrian has  performed in New York, traveled across the country with a touring theatre troupe, then moved to Rhode Island to perform with various Brown University programs including the Center for Slavery and Justice, Brown/ Trinity and Trinity Repertory theatre.

When they moved to Berlin in 2016 their focus from performance shifted into facilitation and organization.

Adrian has taught anti-racist and collective healing workshops with various organizations and insitutions such as Dice Festival and Conference, AfriVenir, and Ballhaus Naunystrasse. 

They have  DJ'd internationally in places like Norway and London. Additionally, they have  performed in theaters such as München Kammerspiele, Volksbühne, Gorki, Sophiensaele, Ballhaus Naunynstrasse, English Theatre Berlin  and many more!

Lastly, they are the founder and lead organizer of the drag  and performance art collective House of Living Colors which provides a platform for exclusively queer and trans BPOC. 

On 17 September, 2020 at 7:51 am Adrian gave birth to the unstoppable: Chance Aijuka Blount, the Goddess Remembered. A Virgo Sun, Virgo Moon and Libra rising.  What an honor!
