Early life and education

Jones was born to Andrea Jones 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. Despite this, Jones' family remained supportive of him throughout his life. He came out as gay when he was a teenager. [3] Jones attended Cardiff University where he studied Welsh. [4]

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 first public performance in drag was made at The Queer Emporium in Cardiff. [5] Jones’ 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. [6]

Personal life

Jones currently resides in Cardiff. He has more than 200,000 followers on TikTok. [7] [8]
