Early life

Jones was born in Treorchy in the Rhondda Valley, where he was subsequently raised. As a child, he found himself not fitting into the gender norms of other boys his age, which left him feeling ostracized by his peers. [3] Despite this, Jones' family remained supportive of him throughout his life. He came out as gay when he was a teenager.

Career

Jones gained an interest in drag after watching RuPaul's Drag Race during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has since performed in drag throughout Wales. His stage name comes from a line in the Little Mix song Motivate : "I'm catching feelings ooh la, la, la, la, la, la, ayy". [1] In March 2023, Jones appeared on the S4C series Mwy Na Daffs a Taffs, where he gave Gemma Collins a tour of Treorchy. [4]

Personal life

Jones currently resides in Cardiff. He has more than 200,000 followers on TikTok. [5] [6]
