March 31 is International Transgender Day of Visibility, dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, we're going to put a spotlight on some trans artists you should check out.

As rapper Quay Dash notes, "being pigeon-holed as just a trans artist sucks. People label you, but I'm not going to stop representing my community."
