CN Lester is a British classical and alternative singer-songwriter, as well as an LGBT rights activist. They are also the author of the 2018 book Trans Like Me.
They have experienced much transphobia in the classical music scene, saying "I've actually experienced quite a lot of discrimination finding tutors and applying for courses, being held back by people who were so sure their transphobia was acceptable that they were quite open about it to people I knew. They didn't see that they were in the wrong – they thought I was wrong for daring to apply."[2]
They have released three independent, crowd-funded albums: "Ashes" (2012), "Aether" (2014), and "Come Home" (2017) .
