Drag queen and RuPaul's Drag Race alum DeJa Skye went from watching Werq the World in her hometown to now starring in the production.
Drag queen and RuPaul's Drag Race alum DeJa Skye joins Werq the World's 2023 tour, coming to Denver July 12.to thank for kick-starting her love of drag. Long before she became a contestant on season fourteen of the reality competition show,debut season inspired her to go out in drag for the first time."My first day going out in drag was July 6 of 2011," she recalls."I looked so busted, but I thought I was the one.
Eight years later, Skye was sitting in a theater in her hometown of Fresno, California, watching the 2019 production ofalumni, and manifested her future on that very stage."I was sitting there with my friend, and I remember looking at her and saying, 'I'm going to be up there one day.' So it's absolutely insane that a few years later, I'm actually on the stage," she says.
Skye is now one of the main cast members in Werq the World's brand-new production, coming to the Colorado Convention Center's on Wednesday, July 12. We chatted with Skye to get the tea on how she arrived at this full-circle moment.Coming from a cheerleading and dance background, Skye was no stranger to giving audiences high-energy performances."That definitely helped. I think I'm very versatile, but I tend to gravitate toward R&B and hip-hop, and my cheer and dance background is obviously perfect for that," she says.
"I think I have kind of an androgynous style of performing, especially now that I look back on my entire twelve years of doing drag. I hit things harder — I'm more in your face and attacking moves now. It used to be something that...not that I was afraid of it, but I guess I always thought [that] in drag, you've got to be feminine.' Now that I've gotten a little bit older, one, I've stopped caring what people think, and two, I embraced it.
