Meet the Queens interview... Miss Naomi Carter

Tell us about yourself?

Ey up babes! I’m Miss Naomi Carter, I’m 23 and I’m all the way from Doncaster!

Describe your drag in five words?

Beauty, fashion, sassy, gobby and Northern!

Where does your drag name, Miss Naomi Carter come from?

Well, ‘Naomi’ comes from the absolute icon that is supermodel Naomi Campbell; ‘Carter’ for the absolute icon that is Beyoncé Carter and the ‘Miss’ is to let the boys know that I'm single!

What can we expect from a Miss Naomi Carter show?

I love a good party so you’re going to get all the camp, but also some R&B, Afrobeats, and Bashment, but then it could take a turn in to rap, house or drum and bass. You just don’t know what you’re going to get at a Miss Naomi Carter show, but it’s always bloody great!

What inspires your drag?

Well Naomi Campbell and Beyoncé of course, but I love all the icons Diana Ross and Nina Simone are big inspirations too. I’m really inspired by black music and culture. I’m half Gambian, and half British, and so that’s very much part of my drag identity too.

How long have you been doing drag?

I've been doing drag for five years. I first started when I went to Doncaster Pride with my mum and I was in drag. Whilst there, I met another queen, who literally adopted me there and then. Our little house is called ZEHAUS and we’re literally the only house in Doncaster, There are only four of us, but we’re adored by everyone for kickstarting Donnie’s non-existent drag scene!

What makes you unique?

I can DJ. I can rap. I can lip sync. I can dance. I can act. I'm fierce. I’m funny, and I'm really nice as well! I just cannot wait to get into that competition - I'm ready for it baby!
