Rupal's Drag Race star Shea Couleé released a debut solo record '8' and will perform at the Riviera on March 21.
Couleé, the celebrated drag performer, model and actor, has received international acclaim for her singular and evocative performance style. Most notably, she won the fifth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” after previously placing in the top four on Season 9 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” But Couleé had some initial hesitations about pursuing music.Couleé grew up in the church , and performing in the gospel choir was an easy fit.
“People were just like, ‘I’ve never heard a Ru Girl put out a song that slaps this hard. That’s not just like drag being the punchline.’ They’re just like, ‘It’s just a good song.’ So then after that, I was just like, OK, I really, really do want to start practicing and getting into things like songwriting and things like that,” she recalled.Between that early release and now, Couleé released her first EP, titled “Couleé-D.
Couleé collaborated with a variety of performers and artists including Sam Sparro, GESS, Mario Winans and Mica Gordon. The result is an eclectic record that spans a variety of genres, from drag-pop and house to R&B and hip-hop.
