Juice Boxx

Drag Queen and hair-flipping extraordinaire Juice Boxx is cute, quirky, and fun – but with a flirtatious twist. Her smart hosting style perfectly balances her lively and flirty performances, which serve a blend of Top 40s pop princess and enticing burlesque vixen. Juice Boxx began her career in the fast-paced drag scene of Toronto, where she excelled for years before being cast on the first season of Canada’s Drag Race. In addition to her stage presence, Juice Boxx spends much of her time streaming on Twitch. She has collaborated with companies such as Dead by Daylight, BMO, and It Gets Better, for a variety of different online events. 

Although her time was cut short on the show, thereby earning her the title of “Canada’s Porkchop” (or first eliminated), her charming personality won viewers over as she tripped, snagged, and fell her way to becoming a fan-favorite.   

Kyne

Born in Manila, now based in Toronto, Kyne brings brains, beauty, and old-school glamour to every stage she graces. Raised on the songs of legendary divas, Kyne channeled her love of performance into a drag persona that shares her given name. In 2013, with her eyes set on the stars, Kyne launched her YouTube channel “onlinekyne” where she posted vlogs, makeup tutorials, and the musings of a high schooler. She graduated high school with the prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarship before earning a Bachelor of Mathematics in Mathematical Science from the University of Waterloo.  

Kyne’s star power rose with her appearance on the first season of Canada’s Drag Race, alongside her educational content on YouTube, where she creatively teaches math, history, and how to spot misleading statistics in the media – all while dressed in high-glamour drag.  

She has been awarded a King Charles III Coronation Medal by the Royal Canadian Institute of Science, as well as the top price for the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications. With an audience of over 2 million followers, Kyne spreads her passion for math education and scientific literacy and brings STEM education to the queer community and queerness to STEM. 

Boa

Based in Toronto, Boa is a powerhouse performer with heart, humor, and infectious energy. After her explosive debut on the first season of Canada’s Drag Race, she’s been making waves, earning laughs, and winning fans across North America. As a proud advocate for mental health, Boa openly shares her five-year recovery journey to connect with others and raise awareness on substance abuse. Her passion for health and wellness extends to her love for fitness – which inclined her to become a certified yoga instructor to add to her lifestyle that she has named “BOGA”!  

Whether it’s on stage or online, Boa radiates energy and connection. Most recently, she appeared on the Drag Race spinoff Staycation, where she and a handful of her worldwide drag sisters were invited to vacation at a wintery chalet. During this iconic series Boa continued to steal the hearts of viewers, displayed her big personality, ridiculous humor, humanizing vulnerability, and exceptional charm! 

Lemon

Lemon, born and raised in Toronto, is a zesty queen who has become one of the most recognizable faces in the drag world. A classically trained dancer with a razor-sharp sense of humor, Lemon seamlessly blends her skills as a certified rapstress, style icon, and comedy queen into an unforgettable drag experience.  

Her career kicked off in the heart of New York City after attending the prestigious Alvin Ailey School of Dance on a full scholarship. She quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the competitive local drag scene and soon enough, the world was introduced to Lemon on Canada’s Drag Race Season 1, where she became an instant fan favorite and earned 5th place. Though her time on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Vs the World was short, Lemon’s charisma and talent reached global audiences, solidifying her status as one of the most in-demand Canadian queens. 

With multiple EP releases under her belt, Lemon has toured the world, performing across Canada, the US, Europe, Brazil, and Australia. She has also represented major brands such as Tim Horton’s, Mill St Brewery, Betsey Johnson, and Skip the Dishes – further cementing her place in pop culture. 

Tynomi Banks

World-class Drag Entertainer Tynomi Banks is known for her full production performances where she dominates the stage while radiating a powerful, but playful energy. Her hustle led her to become the first Drag Entertainer to perform in Toronto’s Dundas Square during World Pride 2014, and during Pride 2018, she became the first Drag Entertainer to work with Hudson’s Bay Company and the only Queen to partner with Spotify for a featured playlist. Tynomi also became the first Drag Entertainer to be the trophy bearer at the 7th Annual Canadian Screen Awards.  

In 2021, Tynomi was the only drag performer to be featured in a SuperBowl ad other than RuPaul herself. In February, she partnered with Black Lives Matter Canada to create and sell a line of merchandise where partial proceeds went to dismantle all forms of anti-Black racism, support Black healing, and create freedom to love and self-determine. In 2024, Tynomi made her music debut with her first single Die for Love and is a featured artist on Grammy Award winning artist, Nelly Furtado’s latest release on “Save Your Breath.”
