Janelle No. 5

Janelle No. 5 is a Brooklyn-raised, NYC-based queen who talks about drag the way other artists talk about painting — as a full-body creative release, a fantasy world she gets to disappear into. She's a member of the Haus of Aja, sister to Drag Race alumni Aja, Kandy Muse, Xunami Muse and Dahlia Sin, which places her squarely in one of the most influential drag families of the last decade. Janelle's stagecraft has earned her real hardware, including Entertainer of the Year at the Glam Awards, and her look-forward, choreo-heavy numbers have been documented in Cosmopolitan, Paper and Vogue.
