About:

“I’ve always lived in a world of drag. Ever since a really early age, I’ve been into theatre, performing, acting…all of my creativity out.

My mom was the first one to put me in drag. I was 9 years old. I performed as Britney Spears at my school, at a talent show. Of course, I had know idea it was called drag, but after that, it just took a turn!

At the age of 13, I started playing around with makeup; but it wasn’t until I was like 18-19 that I realized that Hey, I’m pretty good at this! I’ve always painted, so I just started to act it out on my face instead.

I started doing drag on this level, as I am on today, 4 years ago. And now, it’s just something I can’t live without.

Drag, to me, is so much more than just a female impersonator. Drag has stretched out so much this last decade. Now I’m really into changing cartoon characters into real life people. I love, for example, Cruella de Vil. She’s a real drag, for sure! I live for these really evil, charismatic, ego-tripped queens…cause that’s so far away from my real personality…I love to play around in that bitchy bubble, haha!”
