A drag artist born and raised in the Bay Area has traveled the world sharing his unique take on the performance style by pulling from Bollywood and American pop music. During Pride month, he reflects on the journey to become his most authentic self after years of feeling like he didn't fit in his community. 'The intersection of queer and culture and identity have always been there,' said SNJV.
He took out the vowels out of his given name to create 'SNJV' and uses it professionally for all his work as a dancer and choreographer. 'I started to learn how to sort of reject Bollywood's notions of how the binary should be expressed,' he told KPIX.
