Publicity Campaign: Dyan Tai - ‘Cvnty Business’
Dyan Tai is back with ‘My Cvnty Business’, a hard-edged club cut that turns invasive curiosity into a clean boundary. The new single lands 6 May 2026 via Mandatory, blending hyperpop fluidity with baile funk percussion and a surprise left turn that refuses to sit still.
Following the release, Dyan is heading to the UK and Europe on their second UK/EU tour. Last year saw them selected as a producer for Antisocial Songwriting Camp UK, setting the tone of their first international tour. Dyan is heading back overseas, including a performance at SXSW London, alongside shows in Berlin, Amsterdam, Helsinki and Copenhagen. Beyond the stages, the focus is on connection, linking in with local artists and the queer Asian and BIPOC communities across the tour.
At its core, ‘My Cvnty Business’ is about autonomy. It is a response to the kind of everyday entitlement that shows up as a question, a stare, a demand for explanation.
“This track is about telling people to mind their own business. Strangers who like to ask if someone is a boy or a girl, or my favourite question, “where are you really from?”. That’s my business, not theirs,” says Dyan.
Sonically, the track is engineered like a pressure build. A vocal chop forms the spine of the production, then the beat snaps into place with distorted 808s, metallic textures and a club-forward momentum that keeps escalating, until a funk-leaning bridge throws the listener sideways.
“This song is driven by the production using a vocal chop that forms the lead of the song then adding baile funk percussion and distorted 808 basslines alongside metallic hyperpop soundscapes. It continues to build but surprises listeners with a funk bridge section,” Dyan says.
‘My Cvnty Business’ also marks a shift. Where earlier releases leaned into maximal pop theatrics, this single pushes toward a more refined club language, drawing from global sounds and EDM forms without sanding off Dyan’s edge.
“This marks a new direction leaning more towards a more sophisticated club sound drawing influences from global world music and EDM genres,” they add.
Produced, vocal engineered and mixed by Dyan themself, ‘My Cvnty Business’ is another statement from the self-described Gaysian Empress of Sydney, a producer and cabaret artist whose drag practice is as much about world-building as it is about performance. Their signature white base makeup becomes a deliberate blank canvas, a way to rebel against gender rules and stereotypes.
For this release, Dyan’s visual identity sharpens into a genderless, rebellious silhouette, pulling from Y2K, punk and Asian subcultures, including douyin and gyaru makeup and harajuku street fashion.
The accompanying clip for My Cvnty Business was created with Lucien Jones, the director behind Empress (2025), an observational documentary on Dyan’s music and their contribution to Sydney’s Queer Asian community through Worship Queer Collective. Empress premiered at Mardi Gras Film Festival (Queer Screen) and Decolonoise, Berlin, and is available to stream via Apple TV and DocPlay.
Shot in a car park with Queer Asian, non-binary drag artists Star Gayze and Guapa, My Cvnty Business visualiser leans into clown imagery and painted white faces as a deliberate confrontation of gender binaries and racial stereotyping.
As Dyan takes this new era overseas, ‘My Cvnty Business’ lands like a statement of intent. It is a song about reclaiming the right to be unreadable, unlabelled, and left alone. In a world that still treats gender and identity like public property, Dyan draws a clean line with this new song.
