Dreamer Isioma

Dreamer Isioma (born 2000/2001) is an American singer-songwriter and multiple-genre artist from Chicago. After Isioma’s breakout song “Sensitive” went viral on TikTok in 2020, they released a debut album titled Goodnight Dreamer in 2022. Released in 2023 was their sophomore album, Princess Forever.

In Chicago, Dreamer began learning music theory at age three, and later studied classical piano and violin. They attended a Catholic school, where they experimented with gender expression within the confines of the school uniform. At 12 years old, they came out as queer, and later as nonbinary after a psychedelic experience in their late teenage years. Their eclectic fashion which mixes traditionally masculine and feminine components was profiled in Vogue.

In high school, Isioma attempted to switch from playing music to being an athlete, which was more socially acceptable. However, this change was prevented because they broke their wrist. When they were 16 years old, they began making music, with influences including Chief Keef and Paramore. Producing music became a serious passion while Isioma was still in high school; they routinely spent hours working on songs each day.
