Violet Chachki Lyrics - Discography
Paul Jason Dardo (born June 13, 1992) was born in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. She is a multifaceted American artist renowned for her prowess in drag performance, burlesque, modeling, and music. She is professionally known as Violet Chachki. She rising to prominence as the winner of the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race, Chachki has left an indelible mark on both the drag community and the fashion world.
Discovering her passion for drag at the tender age of 19, Chachki swiftly made waves in the Atlanta drag scene, earning accolades such as Miss New Faces at Friends on Ponce. Embraced by the drag community, she honed her craft and became a fixture at iconic venues like the Jungle, where she shared the stage with luminaries like Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 and Lady Bunny.
Chachki's influence extends beyond the realm of drag, notably breaking barriers as the first drag queen to feature in a major lingerie campaign for Bettie Page Lingerie in 2017. Her foray into high fashion saw her strutting the runway for Moschino at Milan Fashion Week in 2018, cementing her status as a fashion icon.
Venturing into music, Chachki collaborated with Captain Murphy for the single "Cosplay" in 2014 and later wowed audiences with her aerial performances and burlesque acts, joining The Art of Teese alongside Dita Von Teese in 2017.
In 2019, Chachki made history once again, gracing the prestigious Met Gala in a jaw-dropping Moschino ensemble, garnering accolades for her avant-garde style. Later that year, she ventured into the fragrance world as the muse for Heretic Parfum's genderless scent "Dirty Violet."
Continuing to push boundaries, Chachki made waves in 2023 as the first Drag Race alum to grace the cover of Vogue Czechoslovakia. Collaborating with fellow drag queen Gottmik on Cardi B's upcoming music video and receiving the Cultural Icon Award from the Tom of Finland Foundation further solidify Chachki's status as an influential figure in both drag and mainstream culture. With over 2 million Instagram followers, she remains a formidable force and a beacon of empowerment for countless fans worldwide.
