What inspired you to do drag?
Drag is the perfect combination of who I am. I'm a dancer, a performer, but have a feminine side. So it's the perfect match. Drag fuels my creativity and gets me asking "what's next?".
Who were your influences and inspirations?
Every dancing pop diva inspires me. Gaga, Madonna, Britney, Janet, Paula, because let's face it, they are all drag queens. The hair, the costumes, the choreography. It's all larger than life and just makes me want to do the same!!!
What is your favorite song to perform to?
I have a couple favorite go to songs, both which I'm known for doing, either bad romance by Lady Gaga, or make me feel by janelle monae. Totally different feels but both equally iconic.
What do you hope anyone who watches your drag performance takes away from you?
I just hope someone that comes to my shows sees the discipline and passion i put into what i do. The hard work, the time, the energy, the preparation, all leading up to those few minutes on stage. I just hope I'm appreciated for what i do, and be able to show the appreciation i have for those watching.
Have you been to Minnesota before? Any favorite places here or places you're hoping to check out?
I have been before!!! But this time I'm so excited to perform at my good friend Nina Diangelo's new venue Roxy's!! I'm thrilled to be at a brand new place and be able to spend time with new people and just put on a fabulous show!!! Hope to see as many new faces as possible.
Thank you Elliott with 2 t's for your time!

Review: MY FAIR LADY at Ordway Center For The Performing ArtsMarch 23, 2023
What did our critic think of MY FAIR LADY at Ordway Center For The Performing Arts? Boasting classic songs like 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'On the Street Where You Live,' My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a 'proper lady.' But, in this new staging of the show, brilliantly directed by Bartlett Sher, you might ask yourself who is really being transformed?
