RuPaul moved to Atlanta, Georgia, with his sister Renettea when he was 15 to study performing arts. During the 1980s, he worked as a struggling musician and filmmaker, and he also worked at the Plaza Theatre.

He sang in small venues like the Celebrity Club or as Glen Meadmore's backup singer. In 1989, he got his first break when he was hired as a dancer for the B-52s' music video "Love Shack."

Career

A dance/house album titled "Supermodel of the World" was recorded by RuPaul in 1993 and released by the rap label Tommy Boy. It was anticipated that the track "Supermodel (You Better Work)" and the accompanying music video would become quite famous on MTV channels.

It reached its peak place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 45. Both "Back to my Roots" and "A Shade Shady (Now Prance)" achieved the top spot on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart after being released as singles and accompanied by music videos.

After achieving prominence through his musical career, RuPaul became the first drag queen to land a substantial modeling contract when he was hired by MAC Cosmetics.

In 1996, he was granted the opportunity to host his very own talk program on VH1 under the title The RuPaul Show. The event featured several notable celebrities and musical performances.

RuPaul returned to television in February 2009 with "RuPaul's Drag Race," a reality television competition show that premiered on Logo. The idea of the program is that drag queen compete to be named "America's next drag superstar" by a panel of judges (including RuPaul).
