Ten Queens stand before us…..
Ten Queens, who will compete to become the first ever Drag Race Holland Superstar.
They all live in Holland, but with some different origins like Brazilian, Flemish and Peruvian, they are a diverse bunch of fierce Queens that will show how great a small country can be! ???
They’ll be competing under the watchful eye of host Fred van Leer, who’ll oversee some of the iconic challenges you love, while shining a light on Dutch LGBTQ culture.
Lets meet these fierce Queens before it starts on the 18th of September Worldwide:
For 10 years Justin has performed in drag as Janey Jacké, the ultimate fantasy of a Pop Princess. She is sweet with a small bite and a whole dose of spice. She is a stage animal and known internationally for her unique shows. She has performed in the US and last year in Mykonos for several months. She is well-known for her looks, dance talent and unstoppable energy.
Dennis has always had a strong fascination with how gender construction develops socially. Ma’MaQueen is the mother of “The House of Holographic Hoes”, a drag house in Rotterdam. Ma’MaQueen identifies as non-binary, not necessarily male or female. Ma’MaQueen is a true “conceptual look queen”. Unique are the designs and not only used for her own creations, but also for others in the scene. Inclusivity is of paramount importance; Ma’MaQueen takes care of anyone who needs it.
Brian uses his drag to explore topics such as gender and identity together with his audience. As ChelseaBoy, Brian takes audiences to higher spheres through live performances full of futuristic influences, combined with nostalgic music from the 80s. Unlike many queens, ChelseaBoy uses unconventional materials in her costumes and wears wigs in addition to also bald caps, prostheses and homemade head sculptures. ChelseaBoy is a chameleon par excellence, or in his own words a “gender hybrid transformer”.
Henrique grew up in Brazil, before coming to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands he soon got involved with the Dutch drag community. Flamboyant Miss Abby OMG is a real creative outlet and she is a star in the making. She won best Newcummer in 2018 at the Dhowqueen Awards in Belgium and Abby Best is known for her energetic and sexy performances, glamorous and with a touch of “ghetto”. A sweetheart, but also a strong woman who will not be fooled. She is also part of the well-known Amsterdam drag house Mermaids Mansion. She will leave you saying ‘OMG!’
Sederginne is the only Flemish queen in the competition and she is a real comedy queen. Sederginne is notorious and famous in Belgium where she has been showing her skills for 9 years in solo shows, club nights and in the theater. She is a regular in the ambiance restaurant Maskara in Antwerp/Belgium or you can find her working in Bar Blend in Amsterdam. She has mastered the Amsterdam scene and is ready to conquer the hearts of the Netherlands. Sederginne is an internationally booked talent, including shows in Mykonos and even Russia. Sederginne’s main message: “Drag is fun!”.
As a drag queen, Roem has the uniqueness in her pocket. Roem has no affinity with live performing in clubs or other stages. Everything she does, is online. On Roem’s own YouTube channel, many people are encouraged to always be yourself. She believes that drag is so much more than just performing. The bingos, the lip sync, all fun… But not for her. Roem grew up what it is like to grow up in an environment, where it is not always easy.
Patty Pam-Pam AKA Pieter, grew up in the south of the Netherlands and is therefore also called “Queen of the South”. Patty is creative and sweet. She sings, lip syncs and dances, if necessary even with a whole show ballet. She has a real surprising appearance, always in selfmade “couture”, from head to toe. From camp to fashion, she effortlessly dresses herself and countless other DragQueens at home and abroad. Drag is art, and it should be seen!
Michael is better known as the popular and extravagant queen Megan Schoonbrood from Rotterdam and has been in the business for more than half of his life. Over the years Megan Schoonbrood is emerged as a true show diva. She is sympathetic, articulate clever, extravagant, beautiful, classic and a little bit trashy. She has 23 number one! pageant titles on her name and received the Dusty Tiara for her many years of commitment to the LGBTI community. Driven by competitiveness and she is not afraid to take on a challenge.
Rowan is The Bearded queen Madame Madness from Amsterdam and the first bearded queen in Drag Race worldwide! With the beard, Madness tries to break through the boxes of masculinity and femininity. She want to spread the message, that being different is allowed. Madame Madness looks strict, but is actually very sweet, wise and open-minded.
The Peruvian Boris came to the Netherlands with his mother at the age of four. As Envy Peru, Boris is the most followed drag queen on social media in the Benelux, a formidable competitor in this competition. Envy founded drag house Mermaids Mansion with her two “sisters”. One of these sisters is Miss Abby OMG, a fellow contestant this season.
The winner of Drag Race Holland ?? will beside the crown and title receive a cover shoot in the Dutch magazine “Cosmopolitan Nederland” and a specially made haute couture dress by the Dutch designer Claes Iversen.
