What are you best known for?
Being the lead singer in pop rock band KingQueen. And I’m so proud of it. It’s my heart and soul.
What is the first thing you worked on?
I’ve been performing for as long as I can remember but I’m going to choose a time that meant a lot to me and my growth as an artist. My first couple of shows after moving to LA from Europe was at Fubar - performing my original music during drag nights. I strongly believe those first couple of gigs shaped and helped me become who I am as a performer. Everything from our conversations backstage to the environment was so inspiring. Drag queens are the most badass, unapologetic and strong performers on the planet. They taught me to own who I am.
What are you working on that no one knows about yet?
We are going on tour with Out At The Fair this summer/fall. Stay tuned for dates.*wink*
