The accompanying video was shot in Toronto, Canada and stars the extraordinary model and influencer ‘No Gender’ Jude Karda. Sinister came across Karda on social media and fell in love with their combination of beauty, vulnerability and defiance. Benedict thought it would be interesting in a song about a teenager who “wants to be a woman” to feature talent that was once biologically a woman but took another path.
The video showcases Jude in many personae, going through some unglamorous parts of teenage life, like catching public transport, depression, and messed up family situations, as well as exciting teen experiences, like cosplay, illicit sex, and roof topping.
A unique artist, Benedict is entirely focused on reinterpreting the work of others. “Today most people are all about originality, visibility, and authenticity. Those three words mean nothing to me – they are the antithesis of what I want to achieve. That’s why I refuse to show my face – to erase my identity.” Sinister’s contrarian message also led him to lose his social media accounts and have his videos taken down, thanks to “big tech censorship, hackers and haters.”
Sinister spent 20 years working as an itinerant musician and performed all over the world, from DJing at beach bars in Senegal to playing covers of The Smiths in Mexico and of Leonard Cohen in Japan. He started to attract attention after he moved to US and to hipster Brooklyn in 2018. The creative hub saw his immersion in the music of other artists lead him to start creating his own unique musical genre he terms “Adaptations.”
