Early life and education

They studied Illustration at the Casa de los Picos, an arts and design school (EASD) located in Segovia, followed by Graphic Design at the EASD in Valencia.[citation needed]

Career

In 2019, Díaz participated in a discussion entitled Juventuts Trans –formadores. Més enllà del binarisme (Young Transformers. Beyond Binarism) with the Consell Valencià de la Joventut, the youth council in Valencia.[1]

In 2021, Díaz competed on the first season of Drag Race España.[2] They were declared the winner in the first episode but were later eliminated in the fifth episode after losing a lip-sync battle against Killer Queen to "Espectacular" by Fangoria.[3][4] Despite not appearing in the sixth episode, which featured a Rosalía-themed catwalk, Diáz showed their proposed look on social media, which received praise from the singer.[5]

In February 2022, Díaz competed in the Gala Drag Queen de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a drag event that forms part of the annual Carnival of Las Palmas held in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.[6] In May of that same year, they launched the podcast Mientras Te Hacías El Eyeliner (While You Were Doing Your Eyeliner) with fellow drag queen Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha.[7]

In July 2022, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum announced a collaboration with Díaz to create a parade as part of Madrid Pride. Díaz's contribution included a bus covered in reinterpretations of seven of the museum's most iconic works, showcasing representations of queer love.[8]

In November 2022, Díaz appeared in the music video for "Lágrimas de Ángel" by Spanish singer Mónica Naranjo.[9] The following month, they were interviewed by the Spanish online television, news, and entertainment publication, El Televisero, discussing their career and opinions of the third season of Drag Race España.[10]

Personal life

Díaz identifies as non-binary and uses he, she, and they pronouns.[11][12][13]

Controversy

In 2022, both Díaz and Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha were involved in a public argument with drag queen Sagittaria, who accused both of treating their fans poorly, not having work, and for poor performance in their shows.[14]
