About the Artist
Jasmine Rice LaBeija is one of the most iconic and respected nightlife entertainers in New York City. She has had a hold on the drag scene since NYC Pride 2012, and she is now the International Godmother of the Royal House of LaBeija. In 2017, she was one of the main cast members on the documentary series Shade: Queens of NYC on Fusion TV. She was later a host of Dragged, which won a Shorty Award in Diversity and Inclusion for Verizon’s network In The Know. She was the face of NYC Pride 2020 and a featured artist at the Guggenheim Museum. More recently, Jasmine Rice was featured in the Emmy Award–winning short film Inside & Outwards, narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker. In 2022, she was a main cast member of a short film that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Aside from her drag career, Jasmine Rice is also an opera singer and a graduate of The Juilliard School. In 2022, she made her San Diego debut at the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park with the San Diego Symphony as a special guest soloist with Megan Hilty, conducted by Rob Fisher. This year, she gave solo recitals at the Guggenheim Museum and Lincoln Center. She recently made her Off-Broadway debut starring as Hillary Clinton in Five: The Parody Musical. She continues to further her career in both opera and drag and performs around the world.
