Career

Arizona Brandy is a drag performer.[2] A seasoned performer in the Cubao drag scene,[3] she represents the Rapture Royalties[4] when she competed on season 2 of Drag Race Philippines.[5] She started the competition strong with a win in the first episode through her performance of the main challenge: writing, recording and performing a verse to "BOOGSH!".[6][7] She placed in the bottom two of episode 3 in a design challenge. She performed a lip-sync of "Kitty Girl" by RuPaul against Tiny DeLuxe. This lip-sync involved blowing powder on the stage and floor licking.[8] Tiny DeLuxe was eliminated.

On episode 9, she placed in the bottom three alongside Hana Beshie and ØV Cünt. The three performed a lip-sync to "Dati" by Sam Concepcion and Tippy Dos Santos featuring Quest. Her performance resulted to a double elimination of Hana Beshie and ØV Cünt, securing her spot in the final four,[9] with M1ss Jade So, Bernie and Captivating Katkat.[10] In the final episode, she competed with M1ss Jade So for the second round of the lip-sync smackdown, performing "Who Is She?" by RuPaul. Her performance included a wig change, swallowing her contact lenses, and drinking and pouring liquor on herself. She then battled Captivating Katkat for the crown with their rendition of "Kapangyarihan" by iDolls.[11] She placed second in the competition.

Arizona also competed as a drag mother/"Mudra" with her drag child, Jean Vilogue, on the first season of Mudrakels[12] earlier in the year. Her team ranked 5th/6th place after returning and advancing to the finale after getting eliminated in the fourth episode.
