Sisi Superstar

Simon Fortin was raised in the suburbs of Montreal, Quebec and was inspired by the Club Kid movement as a teenager. Fortin dressed extravagantly in high school, which slowly led to the creation of her drag persona. She began performing in 2015-16 after attending a Dita Von Teese show in drag, and began throwing her own art shows after being rejected from art school.^[3][4][5]

As Sisi Superstar, Fortin was crowned Miss Spooky 2021 in Montreal.^[4] In 2023, Sisi Superstar competed on season 4 of Canada's Drag Race. She appeared in two episodes, and was the first contestant to be eliminated.^[6][7] She has described her drag persona to be the "goth bimbo back-alley Barbie of Montreal City".^[3] Rachel Shatto of Pride.com wrote, "She made moments, pulled focus, and served punk, alternative looks that made her stand out from a truly talented crowd."^[8]

Sisi Superstar produced her first EP, Demon Tales, with Pierre Crube of electropop duo Numéro#. She has additionally released seven other music singles as of 2023. Superstar has described Demon Tales to have bits of inspiration from 2000s rock, alternative rock, electronic, new-wave, and goth music artists such as Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, Billy Talent, and Crystal Castles. She describes her own music genre to be emo pop.^[4]

Outside of drag, Fortin is a community organizer, a disc jockey, a graphic designer, a professional event planner, and a songwriter.^[9][3] As an event planner, she co-founded the Montreal queer party series Unikorn Parties with DJ and producer Awwful.^[4]
