Our Lady J

Our Lady J is a classical pianist, television writer, and singer-songwriter. She is a writer and producer for the television series Transparent and Pose.

Born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania in 1978, Our Lady J attended Interlochen Center for the Arts from 1994 to 1996, majoring in piano during her junior and senior years of high school. In 2000, she moved to New York City, where she freelanced as an accompanist. In 2004, J became the musical director and accompanist for the Broadway performer Natalie Joy Johnson and came out as transgender. She grew to popularity in 2013 when releasing her critically acclaimed first studio album, Picture of a Man. Our Lady J has played piano at Carnegie Hall, American Ballet Theatre, and for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

In a November 2016 video for Tinder, Our Lady J said "My preferred gender is agender, no gender." However in a September 2017 interview she said that was no longer accurate and she was now "gender nonconforming and gender fluid", but also a trans woman.
