MUSIC’SE NOT BEING Singer, it would not be the grag Queen in an interview with Rolling Stone Brazil, the singer and host of Drag Race Brazil recalls the journey to success and advances details of her first albumper writing

GRÉGORY MOHD I always wanted to be a singer, but I didn’t dream of being famous. The beginning in music happened in the evangelical church and later he perfected his vocal techniques participating in musicals. Years later, he approached the universe of the drag queens and created, with a friend, the duo Skirtgiving birth, in the process, the Grag Queen. And though Gégory not interested in fame, his newborn persona artistic was destined for her.

In November 2021, Grag Queen was announced in the cast of Queen of the Universean exclusive music reality for drag queens. A month later, the cinnamon artist, a city of about 48,000 in Rio Grande do Sul, won the program and the title of Queen of the Universe, starting a brake -free journey in music, which would quickly mix with the responsibility of running the Drag Race BrasilBrazilian version of RUPAUL’S DRAG RACEbiggest drag queens competition in the world.

Four intense years later, Grag prepares to release its first album by Warner Music Brasil and, Rolling Stone Brazilreaffirms its commitment to the art form that took it to stages around the world, which Gégory Never dream step: “If I wasn’t a singer, it wouldn’t be the Grag Queen”.

“It is important to bring a horn”

Thrown into a practically unknown sea after the victory in the Queen of the Universe, Grag Queen He had to learn to swim quickly – and did it as he could. “I won the Queen of the Universe And my manager said, ‘You have to deliver hit. Everyone is happening. You have to sing! ‘remembers the artist. “And everyone was ‘throwing the ass’ and going down to the floor. I, there, was not even knee for that. But I went to this ‘hitar’ pressure, to do something.”

Since it was victorious from the singing competition, Grag released two EPS, “Wake up”in 2021, with a reggae footprint, and “Crazy people”in 2023, more pop -oriented, with songs in Portuguese and English. Also launched several singlesincluding “Party Everyday” (2022), “That passes” (2023) and “Siren” (2023), and collaborated with artists such as formerRBDChristian Chávez(in “That SI NO”), Bruno Gadiol (in “F:)) and Lexa(in “Slap”).

However, according to the artist, she still didn’t feel “belonging to the songs” And despite its versatility to sing at any pace, Grag had difficulty finding who wanted to be in music: “When you know how to do a lot, it’s cool for an artist, [ser] versatile. But when you have to ‘nicha’ and be on a bubble, and depend on some aesthetics, then it’s a little harder to choose a way to walk “explains.

The voice of Grag It ended up with the experience. At 30, the artist states that it was necessary to live to find what she would like to say and, especially, how she would like to say:

“It’s important to live, it’s important to take a horn, it’s important for you to sob in crying, you laugh, you fall in love with two, three, get into someone’s couple, try someone’s love.”says.

Second Gragin your first album, “The songs have face, the songs have eyes, the songs have smells, the songs have taste. They thrill me, they shived me”. The artist adds that, musically, the album is also “Much my face”: “With arrangements, notes, sounds that you can take on the guitar, you know? It was things I wanted. And I feel like I found myself. It’s something I look at and feel very proud.”

Expected to be released between September and October, the album features the collaborations of heavy names, such as Scatter, Pablo Bishop and Ruxell that, according to Gragthey helped turn it into a plural album: “There is a lot of instrument, a lot of metal, a lot of Brazil and also a House footprint. It is a very tasty pop, with some letters suffered, some more dancing”it is good.

And the first fruits of this new phase are already on digital platforms: in recent days, the artist has released “Sidereral”who talks to the musical sound presented in his single previous, “Boogie Brasil”highlight in the debut of the second season of Drag Race Brasilin July. And the novelty must also reach the reality show: “It is the first televised performance of ‘SIDERAL ‘ even before ‘Sidereal’ to be born”reveals the artist, excited.

“I won’t stop singing and not being the ‘little mother'”

Despite being the obvious choice to command a Brazilian version of RUPAUL’S DRAG RACEwhen the production was finally announced in August 2022, after years of fans’ requests, the invitation to the function emerged to mess up the plans of Grag:

“I was a drag. I was always a drag singer, who released songs. I launched ‘Party Everyday’, ‘Late afternoon’… I was already starting to work on an album. And then, out of nowhere: ‘You’ll be a presenter!’ “remember.

She, of course, agreed to the challenge – and fell in love with work: “I love my role as mother, ‘mother’, helping, being a talent discoverer, being an encouraging Brazilian drag culture”celebrate.

However, the commitment to music and the fear of not honoring it ended up in the mind of Grag. Fortunately, things ended up walking to a place where being a singer and presenter of one of the realities most popular in the world converged:

“I signed with Warner Music Brasil and they came with the idea of ​​starring the song. Because you can do everything. ‘Boogie Brasil’for example, they asked me to compose especially for the program “account.

“I opened all my album and said, ‘Which of these songs do you think I can put in the season? Do you think I can make a link to my album? Rupaul Do that, but can we link this? ‘ And they were very open. They love the fact that I am a host that sings. “

To Gragthe visibility of Drag Race Brasil It is an opportunity to put fans of the program in contact with your music and balance both responsibilities:

“We have to go trying, because I won’t give up singing, releasing my songs, let alone being the ‘little mother’. Thank God, they didn’t ask me to choose any, so, in the meantime, we are making a salad, a mix to be happy and cater to everyone.”
