ABOUT ARTISTE

Bianca Del Rio, the alter ego of seasoned comic Roy Haylock, has well and truly taken the world by storm. She quickly became a front-runner on the 6th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race and was crowned the winner in May 2014. Being a fan-favourite throughout and after season six, she is considered by many to be the best winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She is the only contestant never to place in the bottom three in any challenge during her run on the show and is statistically the best-performing queen overall. Del Rio is also the first Hispanic winner of Rupaul’s Drag Race, with the second being her successor, Violet Chachki.
