Mussa also serves as an M.C., her voice has echoed through the rhythmic anthems of ballroom in Puerto Rico since 2020. Her vocal artistry is central to the contemporary Vogue and Ballroom scene in Puerto Rico. In 2021, she composed music to serve her powerful lyricism and storytelling. Her creative practice, which includes directing, is deeply rooted in transdisciplinary collaboration, allowing her to move seamlessly between roles—whether embodying a character, directing a performance, or voicing the collective spirit of those fighting for queer liberation through radical beauty. Born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, Mussa continues to navigate the intersections of time, space, and emotion in her work, becoming a "hyper-complete" artist who redefines the boundaries of performance.
