Life and artistic career

Yenesi was born in San Juan de la Arena, Soto del Barco, Asturias, Spain. As a child she discovered the art of drag from watching the drags parade through the port of Ibiza. Later, at the age of 14, through the reality show RuPaul's Drag Race , she began to discover her character. ^[3]

In 2022, from some videos where she did some imitations with a simple makeup, she gained popularity on the social network Twitter. Later she went viral with another video with a satirical tone. ^[4] Since then, the artist has had a strong impact on the networks and has maintained a relationship with personalities such as Samantha Hudson (who is her "drag mom"). ^[5]

In November 2022 she participated, along with other drag artists Hugáceo Crujiente, Carmen Farala, Marcus Massalami and Morfina, in a debate on the situation of drag art in Spain in the web program Gen Playz. ^[6]
