Today’s Newcomer Performer Spotlight Goes To: Mya Pinion Here’s a little bit about them:

Mya Pinion was born at a really young age. Since then, she’s been sharpening her craft and proving to be the hottest nymph supermodel of the world. With just 8 months of drag under her breast plate, Mya delicately balances glamour, fantasy, and utter stupidity. You can find her rattling her bones across Wisconsin, and now in Chicago as she builds her new empire across state lines.

Digging her claws even deeper into the underworld, Mya was recently crowed Wisconsin’s first Drag Monster. She snatched the crown as Mx Coven 2026 just last month. Shapeshifting from performance to pageant, you truly never know what she will do next.

We also asked them what pride meant to them:🏳️‍🌈
Pride to me is an opportunity to selfishly explore different facets of who Mya is; in and out of drag. We as artists have a special opportunity to inspire others by living in our authentic skin, and there is no better time to lift those around us than the present. And honestly… I think the world would begin to heal if everyone was just a little gayer. But that’s just MY OPINION!

- You can catch Mya Pinion for our Newcomer Showcase starting at 3:30pm your not gonna wanna miss your newly crowned MX COVEN EMERITUS 👹
