Q Lazzarus

Q Lazzarus, born Diane Luckey, was an American singer-songwriter best known for her haunting track 'Goodbye Horses,' which gained cult status after being featured in the film 'The Silence of the Lambs.' Initially a taxi driver in New York City, her music career was marked by a struggle against industry norms that marginalized black female rock artists. Despite her powerful voice and unique style, Lazzarus did not achieve commercial success during her lifetime, leading to her withdrawal from the music scene. She passed away in 2022, shortly before the release of a documentary aimed at reviving her legacy. Her posthumous works continue to challenge genre boundaries and highlight ongoing issues of representation in the music industry.
