La Voix is a British drag performer and one of the contestants of the first season of Queen of the Universe.
She later became one of the contestants on the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, where she placed as the runner-up.
Drag Name Origin[]
"So, my drag name, La Voix; not "La Voi", "La Vou", "La Veilx", or anything else I've been called, came from my love of singing live. I don't lip sync, I sing live. So my name means The Voice! It's glamorous! French is always glamorous. I went with France--- I've been to France once."[5]
