RuPaul's Drag Race Wiki

Kameron Michaels is an American drag queen and performer from Nashville, Tennessee. He competed on Season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race, where he placed as a runner-up.

Kameron appeared in RuPaul's Drag Race Vegas Revue, where he is followed as he prepares to lead the "RuPaul's Drag Rave Live!" residency show, among other queens.

He would later return as a Lip Sync Assassin in All Stars 6. He won his lip-sync against Ra'Jah O'Hara, revealing that the group chose to send home Eureka.

Drag Name Origin[]

He chose "Kameron" because it sounds androgynous, as he did not want an overly-feminine name. His last name has no association with Chad Michaels. Rather, he chose it because it sounded strong and no other drag queen in Nashville had taken the name.[2]
