Kade Gottlieb (born August 19, 1996),[1] best known by their stage name Gottmik, is an American drag performer and make-up artist. He became the first trans man to compete on RuPaul's Drag Race, placing as second/third runner-up on the thirteenth season.[2][3]

Early life

Gottlieb was born and later adopted by a conservative family in Scottsdale, Arizona and attended Notre Dame Preparatory High School.[4][5] He began experimenting with drag at the age of eighteen.[6] After high school, he pursued a career in the fashion industry by relocating to Los Angeles, where he transitioned and developed his cosmetics and drag skills.[7] He earned a degree in product development from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.[6]

Career

Gottlieb is a drag performer and make-up artist. He has done makeup for Cindy Crawford, Todrick Hall, Paris Hilton, Heidi Klum, Adam Lambert, French Montana,[6] and Tinashe,[5] as well as Drag Race contestants Alaska Thunderfuck, Detox Icunt, Gia Gunn,[8] Shangela, Violet Chachki, and Willam Belli.[7] His work, described by Out's Rose Dommu as "[ranging] from highly conceptual to urbane", has appeared in the magazines Flaunt, Nylon, and Paper.[6] He did makeup for Amanda Lepore and Pabllo Vittar for their covers on Gay Times.[8] In 2020, Gottlieb did Lil Nas X's makeup for Halloween, when he dressed as Nicki Minaj.[9] He also did the makeup for the celebrities who were featured in Taylor Swift's 2019 single You Need to Calm Down.

In 2021, he became the first trans man to compete on RuPaul's Drag Race, appearing on the thirteenth season.[10] He performed well in the competition, winning two challenges (the ball and the Snatch Game, performing as Paris Hilton),[11] and ultimately reaching the top four alongside Kandy Muse, Symone, and Rosé.[12] He was eliminated during the finale episode in a lip sync for your life to the song "Gimme More" against the eventual winner, Symone, ultimately tying with Rosé as second/third runner up.[13]

Gottlieb launched a YouTube channel in January 2021, he also appeared on the Gigi Gorgeous, Pearl, James Charles and World of Wonder channels.[5] Gottlieb was featured on the cover of Attitude for its April Style issue in 2021.[14] Cosmopolitan invited Gottlieb to demonstrate how he transforms into Gottmik.[5]

After competing on Drag Race, Gottlieb signed with Voss Events talent management,[15] and will be traveling the United States with Voss' COVID-19 pandemic compliant drive-in drag show, Drive 'N Drag Saves 2021.[16][17] Gottlieb will also join Voss' 2022 European tour, Rupaul's Drag Race Werq the World tour.[18]

In a July 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly, it was revealed that the producers of the Hellraiser remake auditioned Gottlieb for the role of Pinhead, after Gottlieb showed off a Pinhead-inspired look for a horror-themed runway, on RuPaul's Drag Race.[19][20]

In September 2021 Gottlieb started the YouTube & Podcast series No Gorge with fellow drag race alum Violet Chachki, where they discuss "all things fashion, life, and artistry."[21]

In October 2021, Gottlieb performed along side fellow drag race alumni Violet Chachki, Alyssa Edwards, Aquaria, Jaida Essence Hall, Kandy Muse, Plastique, Rosé & Kim Chi on Voss Event's Night of the Living Drag Halloween tour.[22]

Gottmik is among the most followed queens from Drag Race, and has accumulated over 1.3 million Instagram followers as of October, 2021.[23]

Personal life

Out described Gottlieb as "someone transmasculine who does high femme drag".[6] Gottlieb uses she/her pronouns when portraying Gottmik, and he/him pronouns out of drag. In 2021, Nina Bo'nina Brown was accused of making transphobic comments about Gottlieb, prompting several Drag Race contestants to defend the latter, including Denali and Jan Sport as well as Bimini Bon-Boulash and Crystal from RuPaul's Drag Race UK.[24]

Gigi Gorgeous is among Gottlieb's best friends; the two have appeared on magazine covers and launched merchandise together. Gigi also helped to fund Gottlieb's chest reconstruction.[7]
