QT height - How tall is QT?

Diplo premiered his remix of "Hey QT" on March 6, 2015 through Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show. His reworking is more subdued, with a drop leading into the chorus. The remix was made available as a free download on WeTransfer.

The music video for "Hey QT", directed by Bradley & Pablo, was released on March 25, 2015. The video depicts QT developing the DrinkQT energy drink. A laboratory measures her emotional state and distills it into the drink's formula. The video features CGI animations of DrinkQT, which were simulated in RealFlow and rendered using 3ds Max. It references Gap advertisements and includes product placement for Beats headphones.

On August 26, 2014, QT released her debut single "Hey QT" via XL Recordings. The single's release was accompanied by a photo of QT with a blonde wig trimmed into a messy bob cut. The promotional image was made by Diamond Wright, a team that includes PC Music musician Hannah Diamond.

Reaction to "Hey QT" was divided; many people responded with confusion or repulsion. It received some acclaim from music critics, placing 84th on The Village Voice' s 2014 Pazz & Jop critics' poll. "Hey QT" was chosen as number 14 on Pitchfork Media's "100 Best Tracks of 2014". Spin ranked the song 4th on its list of "The 101 Best Songs of 2014", The Fader listed the song 3rd, and Fact magazine placed "Hey QT" 37th on its year-end list.

QT is, in effect, a virtual character. The concept drew comparisons to the 2002 science fiction film Simone and the virtual Japanese pop star Hatsune Miku. The project includes DrinkQT, an "energy elixir" with a design by Kim Laughton. The music and drink are intended to be two manifestations of the same product. Both have been described as "fizzy" and "energetic", with Dunham stating that she wanted "to be able to talk about 'Hey QT' and have DrinkQT talk about 'Hey QT' and 'Hey QT' talk about DrinkQT." The drink has been distributed at performances, and in May 2015 DrinkQT was made available for pre-order. Journalist Sasha Geffen described it as tasting "like Red Bull, only a little more tart." Distributing the drink was a source of friction with the Red Bull Music Academy's sponsorship of a PC Music show.

Hayden Frances Dunham (born June 16, 1988) is an American performance artist known for her musical project QT, an initialism for Quinn Thomas. QT is a pop singer portrayed by Dunham who promotes and is the living embodiment of the semi-fictitious DrinkQT energy drink. Her debut single "Hey QT", produced by A. G. Cook and Sophie, was released in 2014.
