RuPaul's Drag Race
Amrull was a contestant on the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race, performing as his drag persona Raja Gemini.[3] He was a member in the "Heathers" clique on the program,[4][5] which took its name from the popular cult film, Heathers. In the final episode, after a lip sync battle with Manila Luzon, Raja was declared the winner of the show's third season and crowned America's Next Drag Superstar.[6] As part of his duties as the third season winner of Drag Race, Amrull toured the U.S. and Canada on Logo's Drag Race Tour in 2011.[7]
Raja was the first Asian American winner of Drag Race, as well as the first non African American winner of the series.[8]
In 2014 Raja joined the Drag Race Battle of the Seasons tour where she performed a lipsync duet with Manila Luzon to the Babymetal song "Gimme Chocolate!!".
Music
In May 2011, Amrull released his first single as Raja, titled Diamond Crowned Queen.[9] The single debuted at number fifty on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs,[10] before peaking at number thirty-five.[11] On August 21, 2012, his second single "Sublime" was released. His third single, Zubi Zubi Zubi (roughly translating to Dance Dance Dance), was released June 1, 2013.[12]
