Ana Matronic (born Ana Lynch on August 14, 1974, in Portland, Oregon) is a singer, songwriter, DJ, broadcaster and writer whose career has threaded glam, disco and indie-pop into something unmistakably her own. She rose to prominence with Scissor Sisters — the band behind hits like Filthy/Gorgeous, I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ and a famously audacious Comfortably Numb — and helped carry three UK Top 10 singles and widespread acclaim across the British charts. Bono even called them “the best pop group in the world.” Small claim, big echo.

What began as a childhood fascination with performance and costume quickly became a life on stage and on air. She fronted albums — Scissor Sisters (2004), Ta-Dah (2006), Night Work (2010) and Magic Hour (2012) — then pivoted into radio and TV: BBC Radio 2 (her Sunday night till-morning show, Disco Devotion and Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park), Eurovision semi-final commentary for the UK, advising on The Voice UK and hosting programmes about pop culture. She DJs around the world, presents the Good Time Sallies podcast and wrote Robot Takeover: 100 Iconic Robots of Myth, Popular Culture, and Real Life. She calls herself, without fuss, both a performer and a collector of stories.

Activism is part of the choreography — a visible LGBTQ+ advocate and member of Witches Against Fascist Totalitarianism (WAFT). Personal life: married to Seth Kirby, identifies as pansexual, uses she/they pronouns. It wasn’t all linear. The Scissor Sisters reunion tour of 2025 proceeded without her; she’s since turned inward, researching and writing new projects. Quietly ambitious, endlessly curious. Still glitter. Still thinking.
