Biography

Armário de Saia is a Brazilian drag duo formed in 2018 by artists WesDrag and GragQueen. The pair met in 2015 through a dating app and discovered a strong artistic synergy, which led to the creation of their musical project. The name 'Armário de Saia' is a playful twist on the expression 'sair do armário' (to come out of the closet), suggesting that everyone has their own closet of paradigms to break and taboos to shatter.

WesDrag and GragQueen are multifaceted artists, each with a background in theater, particularly in musicals. They are singers, actors, composers, dancers, visual producers, multi-instrumentalists, hair stylists, and makeup artists. Their career gained significant traction through social media, especially YouTube, where their "Medley Drag Brasil" video went viral in 2018. They have since released other popular content, including "Drag Goes Gospel" and have expanded their presence to platforms like TikTok.

The duo's music often features pop influences and covers a wide range of Brazilian music, including tributes to LGBTQIA+ artists. They have released singles and EPs, gaining a substantial following for their creative interpretations and vibrant performances. Armário de Saia is recognized as a pioneering drag duo in the Brazilian music scene, using their art to promote respect and awareness for the LGBTQIA+ community.
