Priyanka is a global pop star redefining what it means to be an artist. From winning Canada’s Drag Race in 2020 to becoming Apple Music’s Up Next Artist of 2024 and a Spotify GLOW artist, she has proven herself as a force in the music industry. With over 30 million streams, Priyanka’s electrifying sound and larger-than-life performances have captivated audiences worldwide.
Her 2024 debut album Devastatia marked a bold new chapter, launching a sold-out tour across North America, the UK, and Europe, with packed shows in Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and London. She has shared the stage with icons like Charli XCX, Lorde, Pabllo Vittar, and The Beaches, cementing her place in the pop landscape.
Beyond music, Priyanka has made waves in film and television, starring in Netflix’s Glamorous and Meet Me Next Christmas, and winning a Critics Choice Award for hosting HBO’s We’re Here. She made history as the first-ever drag queen featured in ELLE, resulting in the highest-selling issue ever. In Toronto, a mural on Church St honors her as a Hometown Hero.
Her new show, Drag Brunch Saved My Life, is coming soon to Crave, where she serves as creator, executive producer, and host. The series will feature Priyanka’s music in live performances, along with an official theme song, further solidifying her musical legacy.
With a future full of limitless possibilities, one thing is clear—Priyanka isn’t just making music, she’s making history.
