Drag Racing Spain has revealed a new season champion, and Sharonne was chosen as the standout drag superstar in the finale shown on Atresplayer Premium, the same platform that housed the inaugural winner, Carmen Farala. The program, famed for its high-glamour production and the involvement of Los Javis and Master Lockdown, is now driving an ongoing drag talent tour called Grand Hotel of the Queens. A conversation with Sharonne at YOTELEA offers insight into her journey with Atresmedia.
What does winning a competition like this mean to Sharonne? Was the victory anticipated?
Many people saw the winner coming, yet it felt surprising to Sharonne. The path included a mix of moments and memories from the show, where external feedback could be scarce and anything could happen. She found herself sharing the final with incredibly strong artists and felt the competition was exceptionally tight.
Sharonne became the only queen to complete two seasons of Drag Race Spain without a single negative review. How does she maintain a flawless drag identity?
She responds that perfection is not a matter of others’ judgments but her own experience and growth. Those who have known her over the years understand the personal baggage behind her career. She has pursued every project she loves, balancing singing, acting, and dancing as passions rather than obligations. Her foundation in performance allows her to approach each challenge with ease, focusing on play, friendships, and connection with audiences.
Who stood out as the biggest rival in the competition?
Drag Sethlas stands out as a formidable contender, embodying a sophisticated and intricate drag aesthetic. Sharonne emphasizes that the competition should not be viewed as a sword fight; it is about knowledge, craft, and the unique way each performer interprets the art. Outsiders may have opinions, but every colleague brought something valid to the stage. From the start, Sharonne aimed for a fun, unforgettable experience and to demonstrate mastery in her own voice, with each finalist representing a distinct drag style.
With a lengthy journey in this world prior to the show, what did Drag Race Spain bring to Sharonne personally and professionally?
The experience brought movement and transformation. The industry presents moments where tough decisions must be made, and Sharonne has long worked in stores, pursuing what sustains her and yields results. The competition was a milestone, and she is grateful for the bold step she took. It marks a turning point that energized her to keep evolving as an artist.
During Supremme de Luxe and the prior season, comments about age surfaced. Do such remarks sting, and is humor limited in drag culture?
Sharonne believes that drag has no age and humor should know no bounds. Today, humor is often constrained by concerns about offense, yet she feels a freer sense of humor is essential. The community should not fear honest jokes, even when they touch on age, because the essence of drag remains a celebration of creativity and resilience.
Are rehearsals underway for El Gran Hotel de las Reinas, and what can fans expect from the premiere?
The show El Gran Hotel de las Reinas is opening, with filming completed recently for all but Estrella Xtravaganza and Sharonne, who will join from June 22. Live singing and dancing are on the agenda, promising a dynamic premiere for audiences.
What comes next for Sharonne? Are there new projects on the horizon?
The immediate focus is the premiere of Reinas al Rescate, a project born from the chemistry with Estrella Xtravaganza during the competition. The public will see it as a different flavor from Drag Race Spain while sharing the same spirit of performance. Sharonne has long served as the official host of Barcelona Pride and would be thrilled to participate again, though touring schedules with El Gran Hotel de las Reinas may limit availability. She remains eager to collaborate with the Pride Barcelona team and is open to opportunities that advance the rights and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community. Sharonne looks forward to embracing whatever opportunities arise, continuing to perform, create, and connect with audiences.
