About:
“My name’s Kahanna Montrese… and I live, eat, sleep, and Grindr for Drag! I’m a professional dancer and I perform on the Las Vegas Strip. I am also the daughter of Coco Montrese from Season 5 of Rupaul’s Drag Race.
The reason I started Drag was based on a bet I made with a bartender in my hometown, at small local bar called The Fiesta, in Panama City Beach, Florida. I was amazed by the transformations by drag queens, and it was at my first drag show I realized that me just dancing wasn’t fulfilling enough. So, I took the challenge to perform the next week in drag at Fiesta…and 7 years later, here I am, performing in casinos in Las Vegas!
I’ve always been inspired by my own drag mother and Nina Flowers. I had been following both queens for years and they both have a special place in my life. Nina Flowers is the reason I continue to do drag. She believed in me when I couldn’t see the potential of where I could go as an entertainer. Coco is more than a drag mom to me…he’s my idol, best friend, dad…and pushes me to do bigger and better, and never settle.
I’m currently in the cast of Drag Brunch at Señor Frog’s Las Vegas and it truly is the best gig to be apart of. As for the future, I have an audition coming up for the biggest drag show in Las Vegas. I’m currently working on my costumes for the audition, and hopefully joining the cast as Beyonce!”
