Full Bio

Michelle Visage is a two-time Emmy and Producer’s Guild Award–winning, internationally renowned television personality, radio show host, podcast host, platinum-selling recording artist, and author. Though best known for her work as the judge on the Emmy Award-winning VH-1 reality/competition show, “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Michelle has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, across multiple mediums for the past three decades.

Just as she is in real life, on-stage, Michelle is not your average diva. While she is certainly powerful, positive, and polished, behind the glamor is a savvy businesswoman with serious credentials and incredible work ethic. Drawing on her life experiences and her bestselling book “The Diva Rules: Ditch the Drama, Find Your Strength, and Sparkle Your Way to the Top” (2015), Michelle shares her best advice for living life to the fullest and finding success no matter what hand you’re dealt.

Visage can also be seen as a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK next to RuPaul, Graham Norton, and Alan Carr and that airs on BBC3 and BBC1. Additionally, on BBC3 and BBC1, Michelle and her family kept everyone’s spirits high during the lockdown in her own reality show “How’s Your Head, Hun?” Michelle was also a judge for both years on the IFTA-nominated Ireland’s Got Talent. Continuing with the BBC into 2021, Michelle headlines her own talk show called “Get Off Your Ass! with Michelle Visage.”

For 17 years, Michelle has been a morning radio staple, hosting and co-hosting programs on various stations such as WKTU 103.5 [New York], HOT 92.3 [Los Angeles], SUNNY 104.3 [West Palm Beach, FL], WMIA [Miami], and Sirius XM, to name a few. In this time, Michelle has recorded thousands of commercials and delivered even more live reads.

She is currently a co-host of the hugely successful “RuPaul: What’s the Tee? With Michelle Visage” podcast, which won a 2018 Webby Award as well as the show having been downloaded over 40 million times.

On the music front, Visage rose to fame as a member of the girl group Seduction in the early 1990s, with their platinum-selling album “Nothing Matters Without Love,” which spawned multiple hits that climbed the billboard charts. Visage was also featured on the bestselling soundtrack of all time, The Bodyguard [Warner Brothers Pictures], with her remake of Bill Withers’ “It’s Gonna Be A Lovely Day,” that she wrote and sang. Visage was immediately signed to Arista Records by Clive Davis himself.

A newly-crowned dancer, Michelle competed and dominated in the 2019 season of the UK’s biggest show, “Strictly Come Dancing,” leaving after a controversial dance-off. She was the fan favorite and has fallen in love with the world of dancing.

Currently, Michelle splits her time between Los Angeles and the UK. She shares her life with her husband, two daughters, and two rescue pups.
