I was this little kid writing songs. I look back at having that dream, and it’s weird. Being able to do it and live out your dream on any scale is amazing. I don’t take any of it for granted at all.
I, like, prayed inside of my head as a little kid. I didn’t grow up in a religious home, but we went to Midnight Mass. That was the only time I’d go to church, but when I did, I prayed that I wanted to be a successful musician. I got my wish.

My first instrument was my voice. I was always singing and writing melodies when I was a little kid. I just sort of taught myself whatever was around. If there were instruments around, I’d play them.

I want to do something that is not just a pastiche of drag that’s come before but is really authentically me. I try to tune out all the drag that’s out there and tap into the drag that I was doing when I was a little kid – when I didn’t even know the word ‘queer’ or that gay people were out there.
