Tell us about yourself.

My name is Cara Melle, I’m 26 and I’m originally from Atlanta, Georgia, and I’ve been living in London for the past seven years. I came to London to study at the London College of Fashion, and then all of a sudden my drag life took over, so I stayed and here I am!

Describe your drag in five words.

Sexual goddess amongst mere mortals!

Tell us about your drag.

I was raised by a bunch of UK drag sisters, and so my drag was born and bred in London, where I’m well known as The Beyonce of the drag scene. I’ve been on TV, billboards, and numerous ad campaigns. The CV is lengthy! I’m a legend – google me!

Why RuPaul’s Drag Race UK?

Because I’m at the top of my game. I serve amazing looks, I perform the hell out of anything and I bring main character energy to the game. I want to show the world who I am. It’s very important to me because when growing up, I never saw any black trans women on TV, and now I get a chance to represent black trans women. Although, I’m seriously shaking in my boots at the thought of performing in front of my idol RuPaul ! But hey, I’m mostly fearless, so let’s do it!

What’s your game plan for the competition?

I don’t have a game plan! I’m looking forward to the acting challenge, the Rusical and the girl group challenge, because I’ve been in a few girl groups. I have a bit of a reputation as a lip sync assassin, so my main goal is to send everyone home and stay at the top!
