Phoenix is not to be confused with Phoenix Black

Phoenix is an American drag queen and performer from Atlanta, Georgia. She competed on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3, where she was eliminated second, placing 12th in the competition overall.

Drag Name Origin[]

She was 18 when her and fellow Forsyth Central High School classmate and friend Christian Castelan snuck out to go to a Atlanta Pride festival in 1999 in Piedmont Park. After that, she fell in love with drag. Her name comes from the Phoenix animal, a mythological bird that rises from the ashes and recreates itself. She thinks the name is perfect for the type of drag she does as she is always recreating her look and pushing herself to the next level. She sees herself in drag to be very different from her boy self. She also has a fiery personality.

Her drag mother is Nicole Paige Brooks and her drag grandmother is Shawnna Brooks. Phoenix met Shawnna Brooks at Atlanta Pride 99 and also met also amazing Atlanta drag performers including Charlie Brown and Heather Daniels.
