Following her time on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Nina Flowers fell right back into doing what she does best — DJing!
“When I was very young, still a child, I used to accompany my father who helped a friend who was DJing at private parties. From the first time I went to one of these events, it was like love at first sight,” Flowers recalled during an interview with Los Angeles Blade. “I started playing neighborhood parties; family parties; at school, until I built a reputation and then continued to hold private parties and corporate events. At the age of 16 (in 1989) I auditioned for the first time for a position of resident DJ of a new club in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where I am from, and it was there where I obtained my first residency in a club. From there I continued working in many clubs on the island until I had to move to the United States. And my career exploded.” But it wasn’t until her time on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” that her career took off in leaps and bounds. “My artistry in drag has always been inspired by my music. I’m blessed that Nina Flowers gave me the platform for people to now recognize my sound and observe where my core comes from,” Flowers told WERRRK in 2018.
Still, DJing is just the tip of the iceberg for Flowers…
