Elecktra Bionic is an Italian drag performer and one of the contestants of the first season of Drag Race Italia.
Elecktra was later crowned Italia's Next Drag Superstar at the finale.
Drag Name Origin[]
Elecktra is the name they would give to their daughter if they had one. Bionic comes from the duality of their drag character that deceives the eye of the beholder, who is never clear if they’re looking at a male or a female. They wanted to have a hybrid sense of sensuality.[7]
