Meet ‘Queen of the Universe’ Finalist Grag Queen
Grégory Mohd is 26 years old. He was born in Canela, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Mohd called his hometown a “tiny, tiny little place.” Grag was challenged to sing the Brazilian national anthem for the show, and she pulled it off flawlessly until she forgot the lyrics part of the way through.
Grag also shared that the drag scene in Brazil is “huge,” and the drag queens are very competitive. Her first language is Portuguese, and she joked that her strategy for the show was to act like she didn’t understand what people were saying. She also shared that she would never compete on the typical Drag Race show, because she doesn’t know how to do things like sew.
As for Grag’s name, she explained, “I’m a Grag Queen. It’s more than a drag queen, because actually, I know it doesn’t look like it, but I’m a man. And my name is Grégory. So a Grégory who does drag.”
Earlier this year, Grag released an EP called DESPERTA, which you can listen to on Spotify. She also has a single called “Bota Fé.” Grag uploads her music on YouTube and TikTok, where she has over 2 million followers.
