About Trixie Mattel
Trixie Mattel is the drag persona of Brian Michael Firkus. She’s an American drag queen, author, comedian singer, songwriter, and television personality that’s best known for her time on RuPaul’s Drag Race. After capturing the attention on the seventh season of the show, she was invited to star in the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars, which she went on to win.
Ever since her win, she has been one of the hottest drag queens in the world that has had multiple appearances on television and started her own YouTube channel and podcasts alongside Katya Zamolodchikova.
Trixie Mattel is famous because of her funky personality and corkiness that were displayed on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Brian was born on August 23, 1989, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His drag name comes from the word “trixie” that his abusive stepfather used to call him when he acted feminine. After graduating from the high school, he attended the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music.
In 2008, Brian first performed in drag when he was just nineteen years old at the LaCage night club. He quickly became a staple of the Milwaukee drag scene and then began touring across other states where he met other acts introduced on RuPaul’s Drag Race like Kim Chi. In 2014, he attended The Institute of Beauty and Wellness but withdrew later that year to participate in the Logo TV hit series. He was chosen to take part in the seventh season of RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2015.
Being the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars season three, an active YouTuber, author, and musician is how this sensational drag queen became rich. Immediately after her exit from RuPaul’s Drag Race, Trixie Mattel became one of the most favorite drag queens in the world. Three years after her appearance on the show, she became part of the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars, which she went on to win. With her win, she earned herself a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame and $100,000.
For the past five years, Trixie has had many other ventures. She has appeared in numerous episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race, as well as other television series like American Horror Story: Roanoke, Super Drags, and Larry King Now. In 2017, she and Katya Zamolodchikova starred in their own series titled The Trixie and Katya Show. The show served as the spin-off of their YouTube series UNHhhh, which eventually turned both of them into viral internet superstars. UNHhhh, has been on air since March 2016 and besides fame, it has also brought an estimated $300-500,000 for both drag queens.
What makes the bubbly Trixie Mattel so successful is her versatility and ability to do many things at the same time. Long before she became an international superstar, Trixie joined the video-sharing platform YouTube. Her channel was created in December 2011 and as of now, it has over 106 uploads. The videos have gathered a total of 88 million views and an additional income from the drag superstar. Apart from creating YouTube videos and starring in her own show, Trixie has taken part in other web shows such as The Pit Stop, That’s Our Sally, I Like to Watch, and Instant Influencer.
Starting in 2017, Mattel also became a country singer and songwriter. In May that year, she self-released her debut studio album titled Two Birds which was a commercial success and made its way into several music charts. Apart from her music projects, Trixie has been consistently teaming with her friend Katya for the creation of their own podcast The Bald and The Beautiful.
