There are times when I do not have<br />
a clue of what I’m doing, because it’s<br />
so new to me. I get frustrated, and it’s<br />
really challenging and really hard, but<br />
it’s so exciting. Every day when I come<br />
to rehearsal I get better and I improve. I<br />
grow from the challenges and learn from<br />
them. From the audition process to now,<br />
I can say that I have grown so much as an<br />
artist.<br />
When “Rent” first appeared, you were<br />
probably a baby,<br />
I was 5.<br />
So from your point of view, what do<br />
you think of “Rent”?<br />
Well, I love it. I learned about “Rent”<br />
when I was in high school. In my choir<br />
class we did a show with all kinds of songs<br />
from Broadway musicals. When I heard<br />
“Seasons of Love,” I loved that song. I<br />
went on to study the rest of the music.<br />
Then I watched the movie, and I loved<br />
the story. Ever since then I just loved<br />
“Rent.” The fact that I got to audition for<br />
Angel was just shocking to me. It’s a big<br />
opportunity for me and a big challenge<br />
that I have to take on, but it’s very exciting.<br />
You were voted Miss Congeniality for<br />
your season in “Drag Race”?<br />
Yeah, the fans voted me Miss Congeniality.<br />
They wanted me to win something; they<br />
wanted me to get that title. Although I do<br />
think I am congenial at times, it’s kind of a<br />
big pressure to live up to that. You always<br />
have to be very diplomatic. But I don’t<br />
hold that title anymore. I am totally fine<br />
being the fan favorite.<br />
Aside from “Drag Race” and “Rent,”<br />
what are you up to?<br />
I released my single. My music is available<br />
on all digital platforms, and it’s in Spanish.<br />
It’s a Latin love song about being fearless<br />
against all odds. No matter how much<br />
people try to bring you down, you’re<br />
always going to get back up, and when<br />
you get back up you’ll be stronger,<br />
because you’ve already learned from that<br />
experience. I’m also working on creating<br />
my own show here in Los Angeles. I have<br />
a show early February, and I’m trying to<br />
get that going and get it started. It’s me<br />
singing live, and I’m hoping to have a<br />
live band. I want to see what will become<br />
of it and if I can tour with it. I’m excited<br />
about all that is to come from this “Rent”<br />
experience. I would like to be part of a<br />
special project that I can’t speak about,<br />
but I’m excited for what the future holds.<br />
I’m running with the win, and I’m not<br />
looking back. I hope people will enjoy<br />
“Rent,” because we work really hard<br />
at rehearsals every single day to bring<br />
something so magical on the day of.
