Soraya Vivian – Powerhouse Vocals, LGBTQ+ Icon, Global Pride Host
Soraya is what happens when a powerhouse voice, a Pride parade, and a big, generous heart collide. A beloved LGBTQ+ icon with a voice built for festival stages and 3 a.m. dancefloors, Soraya is as famous for her soaring vocals as she is for the way she makes every person she meets feel seen, valued, and loved. She never knows a stranger; to Soraya, everyone deserves love, joy, and a place on the dancefloor.
Bio
Soraya Vivian’s vocals have powered some of the most memorable dance tracks in clubland and Pride history. Her voice features on anthems including “When You’re Gone” (AATW), “Release Yourself” (Maxwell House), and “Dirty Shake” (Chris Montana), tracks that have echoed through superclubs, Pride stages, and festivals around the world. Her recent single “Everybody” stormed the Music Week Commercial Chart in November 2025, entering as a new release at #18 and climbing into the top ten, where it continues to rise from its current position at #5. Across global dancefloors and Pride festivals, “Everybody” has become a hands-in-the-air celebration of unity and joy.
She has collaborated with some of the leading producers in dance music, including Freemasons, Eric Kupper, Riffs and Rays, Strictly Rhythm, and The Wideboys. That studio pedigree has taken her onto some of the biggest stages in the UK and beyond, performing alongside icons such as Tom Jones, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Heather Small, Blue, and Steps. Whether she’s belting a big chorus, hosting a Pride main stage, or leading a crowd singalong, Soraya Vivian’s live presence is electric, authentic, and unforgettable.
Discovered at Winter Pride, Destined for the World
Executives from Pillars of Change Media first discovered Soraya Vivian at Winter Pride 2019 in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. Watching her perform and host main events in front of thousands of attendees across three sold-out evenings, they saw more than a star vocalist; they saw a natural storyteller and community champion. Her ability to hold a crowd, lift a room, and connect with people from every background made it clear that Soraya Vivian was made for something bigger than the stage alone. That moment in Maspalomas became the spark for a new era: Soraya as the voice and heart of a global Pride storytelling platform.
Host of Pride This Way
Now, Soraya steps into a new spotlight as the host of the Pride This Way podcast and vodcast, launching this summer, just in the nick of time to ride the wave of worldwide Pride events. Pride This Way follows Soraya as she travels to Pride celebrations and queer city hotspots across the globe, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, emotional firsts, outrageous nights out, and quiet, life-changing conversations with the people who make Pride what it is. With Soraya at the helm, the show blends her powerhouse vocals, her LGBTQ+ icon status, and her natural warmth into a dynamic, visual-first series built for today’s Pride generation.
As host of Pride This Way, Soraya Vivian brings:
- A recognisable name and voice that already resonates across Pride stages and dancefloors.
- A deep, lived connection to LGBTQ+ communities and nightlife culture.
- The ability to move seamlessly between high-energy performance and intimate, heart-led conversation.
Pride This Way isn’t just about where Pride happens; it’s about who shows up, why they march, and how their stories can change the world—with Soraya guiding every step.
A Heart for Charities, Community, and Radical Love
Beyond the charts and stage lights, Soraya Vivian is driven by a genuine heart for charities, grassroots causes, and people on the margins. She believes everyone deserves love, dignity, and joy, and she lives that belief out loud—supporting LGBTQ+ charities, HIV awareness campaigns, mental health initiatives, and local community projects. Soraya never walks into a room thinking about VIP lists; to her, every person is a potential friend, a future collaborator, or someone who just needs a kind word and a song.
That spirit is woven into everything she does, from charity performances to Pride hosting to her new role on Pride This Way. She uses her platform to amplify voices that are too often unheard, to raise funds where they are most needed, and to remind every listener and viewer that they are worthy of love exactly as they are.
Paying It Forward
In a world hungry for authenticity, Soraya Vivian stands out in every crowd, as
- A powerhouse vocalist with a proven track record of dance anthems and chart success.
- An LGBTQ+ icon whose face and voice are trusted on Pride stages around the world.
- A compassionate, community-rooted human who leads with empathy and kindness.
- The new host of Pride This Way, a global Pride podcast and vodcast arriving just in time for a new season of queer joy and resistance.
If Pride is how joy looks and sounds in the streets, Soraya Vivian is how that joy feels—bold, emotional, inclusive, and impossible to ignore.
