Ephraim Adamz is a queer experiential artist who is often regarded as the "King of Pride". He is recognized for designing the Transgender Legacy Flag. He utilizes film making, music, DJing, dance, voice acting, sex work, and event planning to advocate for marginalized communities. Ephraim rose to prominence on YouTube in 2014 with the viral song "Twerk Bitch (You A Bottom)". The majority of his music videos feature fellow sex workers and he has collaborated with over twenty-five Pride marches. Two are the largest in the world, including Stonewall 50 WorldPride NYC 2019 and Global Pride 2020. During the Covid-19 pandemic he was one of twenty-four video editors to produce Global Pride 2020, the worlds largest virtual queer march in history.
In 2021 he created the documentary interview "T-Girl: The Truth In Transitioning" which follows a Black trans woman's journey through Gender Reassignment Surgery. A second documentary titled "Black Art Heals" follows six creatives who travel the East Coast of the United States during the Covid-19 pandemic and 2020 presidential election.
The same year he released his EP "Uprising 1969", a retrospective on The Stonewall riots and the 2020 police brutality protests in response to the murder of George Floyd. A live performance of the EP was held in NY at the Stonewall Inn. The song "Pride Month", meant to encourage love and healing, went viral on the social media app TikTok and rapper Todrick Hall has congratulated the EP.
A second EP titled "Day of Remembrance" was released on Transgender Day of Visibility 2022 as a celebration of life. Trans activist Carmen Carrera presented him to the stage as "The King of Pride" for several performances. The same year he released "Sex Work Is Real Work", a song relating to his life as a sex worker.
In 2023 Ephraim Adamz created the Transgender Legacy Flag for the twenty-fifth anniversary of Transgender Day of Remembrance. Blue, pink, and white are paired with black and brown at the center of the Transgender Legacy Flag to represent the intersections of gender and ethnicity among negro descendants of U.S chattel slavery and the African Diaspora. The triangular midpoint insinuates an hourglass, which symbolizes past, present, future, and legacy.
