British drag queen Russella is unusual in the context of modern queens in that we don't know what her real name is - although we wouldn't mind betting that her first name is 'Russell.' She may not be widely known within the United States, but at home, she was considered important enough for I-D magazine to list her as a 'cultural icon.' Further solidifying her reputation, 'The London Paper' considers her to be one of the top 30 talents in any entertainment field in the UK.
Pop singer Paloma Faith has given Russella a helping hand on her way to fame - the two met at a dance school in Leeds, and when Faith moved to London to pursue her singing career, she invited Russella to come along with her, as well as to appear in the video for her first-ever song. She made a self-deprecating appearance on 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2015 performing a routine involving pancakes, much to the horror of head judge Simon Cowell!
