'Love Has No Gender.' Daividh Campbell, singer and radio DJ

A hat-trick on the LGBTQ+ Music Chart, a neurodivergent artist who'd rather make a noise than make a scene, and one of this summer's most quietly radical Pride anthems. We sat down with Daividh Campbell.

There's a track climbing the LGBTQ+ Music Chart right now Love Has No Gender by Strange World Music feat. Daividh Campbell.

Brighton-based singer and Trans Radio UK presenter Daividh Campbell has form here. A number one and a top 20 hit already under his belt, Love Has No Gender is the third time he's landed on that chart, and it's currently song of the week. We wanted to know what drives an artist who describes himself as someone who's had "to piece themselves back together after feeling different for a long time." The answer, it turns out, is simpler and more radical than you'd expect.

"Honestly, it feels surreal," Daividh says of seeing the track climb. "To have had a top 20, a number one and now Love Has No Gender climbing again, it's something I never expected, especially not at this stage of my life."

But he's quick to redirect from the numbers to what the numbers mean. "These songs are reaching people. They're being played in safe spaces, in Pride settings, on stations like Trans Radio UK and over 20 European radio stations. That means more to me than anything."

You've called this track "important", not just a banger. What makes it feel different?

"It's not just something to dance to, it's something I needed to say." There's so much noise right now around identity, especially for trans and non-binary people, and Daividh wanted to cut through it with a simple truth: love is love.

"If someone hears it and feels seen, or supported, or less alone, then it's done its job."— Daividh Campbell

The track is a collaboration, Daividh's honest, personal impulse shaped into a song by writer Lindsay Jupp at Odd Paws Records, then produced by Olli Daffarn at Blue Dot Studios in Hastings. "He's worked with some pretty big names and has given me my sound," Daividh says. "I feel very comfortable in the studio." It's a creative triangle built on trust.

You're neurodivergent, and visibility can be genuinely hard, yet here you are making Pride anthems. How do you square that?

Daividh doesn't shy away from the contradiction. "I'm not naturally someone who wants to be front and centre all the time. Visibility can feel overwhelming, the noise, the expectations, the social side of it. It can be a lot."

But music, he says, offers a different kind of presence. "I can express everything I want to say through the track, without having to shout over everyone in a crowded room."

"You don't have to fit a certain mould to be heard. You can be quiet, reserved, neurodivergent, and still create something powerful that travels far beyond you." Daividh Campbell

For a community that often celebrates the loudest voices in the room, that's a genuinely radical proposition.

Trans Radio UK has given you a platform. In a community that celebrates the headliners, what do you say to the people working quietly behind the scenes?

"Not everyone is the headline act, and that doesn't make their contribution any less important. A lot of the community is held together by people working quietly behind the scenes."

He's emphatic on this: "To anyone out there doing that, you matter. Your support, your creativity, your presence, it all counts. Community isn't just built on big moments. It's built on consistency, kindness, and people showing up in whatever way they can."

Trans Radio UK, he says, has been something specific and rare. "It genuinely feels like a family, not in a forced way, but in that real sense of people looking out for each other, supporting each other, and creating space for voices that might not always be heard elsewhere. There's a shared understanding there, and that makes a huge difference."

What do you wish someone had told you?

"You don't have to change who you are to belong in this industry." It's the first thing Daividh says, and the most important. "When you're starting out, especially if you're young or finding your identity, it's easy to feel like you have to fit a mould. To look a certain way, sound a certain way, or become what other people expect."

"Protect who you are. That's where your power is." Daividh Campbell

"Take your time. There's no deadline on finding your voice or building something meaningful. I stepped away when things didn't feel right, and coming back on my own terms made all the difference."

He closes with the kind of wisdom that sounds simple until you realise how long it takes most people to actually believe it: "Be kind to yourself. This industry can be tough, and rejection is part of it. But your story, your identity, and your creativity all have a place. If you enjoy what you're doing, and it's coming from a real place — that's already success."
