'Drag Race PH' star Viñas Deluxe to make singing debut with Tarsier Records
Viñas Deluxe, one of the crowd favorite contestants of the recently concluded reality competition Drag Race Philippines, is now part of the growing family of artists of Tarsier Records.
Viñas is the latest drag queen-turned-recording artist to join the ABS-CBN record label, following her fellow Drag Race PH contestant Marina Summers, who dropped her song “Divine” last November.
She is now planning to release her rendition of the 80s hit "I’m Feeling Sexy Tonight," where she will put a "sexy, fun, and confident" twist to it.
"I found this track very empowering dahil kahit ano man ang aking shape at itsura, if you feel sexy, magiging sexy ka because no matter how I look, if I feel sexy, I will be sexy. It’s all about confidence. Gusto kong impart sa mga nakakarining na may lalim yung song na ito," Viñas said.
Now that her music career has officially been ignited, the 26-year-old performer could never be more delighted.
"Bata pa lang ako want ko ng gumawa ng song. Frustrated ako dahil hindi ako marunong ng instrument at sumulat. Now na may tumulong sakin, sobrang nafulfill ng childhood dream na iyon. Doon ko narealize na hindi ko need gawin lahat, need ko lang ng tamang tao na tutulong sakin." Viñas shared.
She added, "This is the beginning, signing into ABS CBN Music through Tarsier Records is a very big step sa aking music career. Soon, makikita niyo po akong magrelease ng singles."
Aside from this, the drag superstar is also set to make an appearance at RuPaul's DragCon, an annual expo of drag culture to be held in Los Angeles on May 12 and 13, together with Drag Race PH winner Precious Paula Nicole.
Viñas' remake of "I’m Feeling Sexy Tonight" is set to be released on Jan. 27.
