The New EP Chronicles Justice’s Personal Journey with HIV

On December 1st, 2025, in honor of World AIDS Day, critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ pop group and HIV awareness advocates RiVERSE released their eagerly anticipated new EP, “Humanity In Volume”, a brand new ten track project featuring their hit singles, “Lovin’ Me Down” and “Negative”.

The new project highlights group founder Justice’s transformative experience following his HIV diagnosis in 2021, marking some of RiVERSE’s most personal and courageous work to date. Through themes of resilience, healing, and radical self-acceptance, Humanity In Volume offers an intimate exploration of what it means to live authentically and boldly in your truth.

Composed of members Justice (formerly known as Dizz), Khadija, Zak and Monroe, RiVERSE is a dynamic collective of queer, BIPOC and plus-size artists, earning international praise for their unapologetic artistry and bold social advocacy.

Garnering nearly one million followers across social platforms, RiVERSE continues to champion causes ranging from self love to social equity; empowering their fans worldwide through their mission to “represent the underrepresented”. Best known for their hit single, “BaeBeeBoo” off their celebrated sophomore album, Poison IV, RiVERSE is now once again taking center stage with their new EP.

“I feel like I have been training my whole life for this moment. Humanity In Volume represents everything that I am: truth, vulnerability, authenticity, music, and advocacy,” says Justice. “The accumulation of my life experiences are now being put into play through the release of this EP.”

RiVERSE has long been celebrated for their unapologetically inclusive storytelling, openly sharing their individual journeys, including Zak’s seven years of sobriety, Monroe’s recent recovery from thyroid cancer, and more.

“We want people to know that you’re not alone, no matter what hardship you might be going through in life,” says Monroe. “There will always be sunshine on the other side of the hill”.

Born in Cairns (Far North Queensland – Australia) I am the youngest and the only boy of a family of five. My first serious job was as a Salesperson, the announcer, then Production Manager for 4AM. I spent in excess of ten years running my own successful entertainment agency before moving to Melbourne (Victoria – Australia) where I currently live, work and play. A week after arriving I joined the sales team at JOY 94.9fm – what was to be Australia’s first and only dedicated gay and lesbian radio station. I was clearly destined to be self-employed as fate would have it. Q Magazine was born in March 2004 and as they so rightly say ‘the rest is history’.
