Cult of Venus is a multi-disciplinary performance artist who has played at MOMA PS1, Fotografiska’s Chapel Bar for David LaChappelle’s “FAITH”, and The Women’s March NYC. Cult of Venus has played her music as an artist in residence at Riker’s Island women’s jail in New York. Her music is the meeting point of art and activism with powerful songs that critique the impending environmental collapse, Disaster Capitalism, and social media as a surveillance tool. With her sustainable upcycled merch line raising thousands of dollars, donated to support the Women’s Prison Association and other regional charities.
Cult Of Venus dropped her latest single “Algorithm” on February 14th via her imprint Liberty Belle Records (FUTURES/Virgin Music). All the graphics for the upcoming EP have been created with Sarah Schmitt, who designs for Julian Casablancas, The Voidz, The Strokes, Suki Waterhouse etc., and shot & filmed by Moody Darkroom.

Recent praise for Cult of Venus:
“Reminiscent of Caroline Polacheck with a touch of a club vibe” – FLOOD Magazine
“She is a one woman powerhouse. She plays guitar, she sings, she plays the synth, it’s just really, really cool” – Lisa Worden – 98.7 LA
“Inspired by Caroline Polocheck, Grimes, Gamified Glitchy goodness, wicked synths! Big fan!” – Sian Eleri BBC Radio 1 Future Artists
“Hefty electro beats and really powerful lyrics” – BBC 6Music
“Mixed by Geoff Swan (Grimes, Caroline Polachek, Charli xcx), “Mountains” opens with a solo horn line before gorgeously layered vocals mesh together to create something eerily similar to what one would expect from a collboration between CHVRCHES Lauren Mayberry and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver.” – The Line Of Best Fit
“Combining the desperation of prime PJ Harvey, the scorched-earth polemic of Savages and electronic flourishes reminiscent of ANOHNI “Time Capsule” seethes with urgency — a fitting and affecting commentary on violent times and rising against one’s apathy and desensitization.” – Untitled Magazine
