Sorae Jin Foxx lives in the in-between.
Born in Los Angeles to a jazz saxophonist father from New Orleans and a Korean-American ceramicist mother, she grew up caught between rhythms and rituals. Her world was equal parts incense and brass, calligraphy and improvisation. She never fully belonged to one culture—or one version of herself—but that space between identities became her creative fuel.
At 17, feeling lost and fragmented, she dyed her hair cobalt blue. It was the first time she felt in control of her narrative. That blue would become her armor, her signature, and the way strangers first remembered her.
Now 24 and living in Brooklyn, Sorae juggles two lives. By day, she works behind the counter at Nova & Schmear, a neighborhood bagel shop with peeling paint and regulars who call her “Blue.” It’s a quiet, predictable job. It keeps her grounded, even if it numbs her soul a little.
But when night falls, Sorae sheds that skin. Under the strobes of The Velvet Helix, she becomes Nova—a dancer, a performer, a living projection of something mystical and untouchable. Her act isn’t just about allure; it’s a visual story. She paints her skin with light-reactive ink, incorporates holographic projections, and moves like she’s conjuring spirits from sound. Some see it as performance art. Others just tip well and look away.
The club pays the bills, and it gives her control in a world that often tries to strip it from her. But Sorae doesn’t love the work. She respects it. Owns it. Uses it. And always keeps her eyes on something bigger.
Her apartment, a small walk-up in Bed-Stuy, is her sanctuary. It’s cluttered with sketchbooks, digital tablets, crystals, old cameras, and half-melted candles. Here, she builds her real future—page by page, panel by panel. She’s working on a graphic novel that blends African diasporic deities with Korean folklore, set in a future fractured by memory and myth. She wants to create visual stories where girls like her aren’t side characters—they’re gods, rebels, and universe-makers.
Sorae dreams of starting a digital art studio—an incubator for queer, multicultural, and underrepresented artists like herself. She wants to animate her stories, direct them, and put her voice into a world that constantly tries to edit people like her out of the frame.
She doesn’t crave celebrity. She craves impact.
And though she spends her nights dancing for others, each step funds the moment she’ll stop dancing for anyone but herself.
Because Sorae Foxx isn’t running from anything.
She’s building the future—one that finally looks like her.
