Erika Klash




Grizzly Kiki | Pop Culture & Interviews With Queer Artists show

Summary: Erika Klash is a drag queen that has combined Japanese and French culture, as well as video games and a variety of other references to create a persona who is known as the anime queen of New York. A native New Yorker, Erika grew up immersed in the culture of the city around her and is an NYU student and aspiring playwright. Although barely a drag year old, Erika is already becoming around New York City as a drag presence and has performed at venues around the city, including The Monster, TNT, Stonewall, and others. She uses her video game inspirations as a way to always move forward, since Mario himself can never walk backwards; just try it and you'll see it's true. She is always looking ahead toward her future and uses her past a reference. She's Princess Peach with attitude!
