Learn more about RuPaul's Drag Race UK season six queen Rileasa Slaves, including their age, hometown and background.

Rileasa Slaves

Age: 32

Hometown: London via St Lucia

You apparently look the spit of a certain popstar?: "I have been told I resemble a certain worldwide superstar named Rihanna. Like Rhianna, I'm also a Caribbean queen, a glamazon, and a superstar, but I'm not Rihanna. I'm the real Rileasa, ready to be rileasa'd onto the world."

What influences your drag?: "I grew up in the small Caribbean island of St Lucia, with dancehall music, Soca and Calypso as the soundtrack to my life, and then later I fell in love with London the city that gave me permission to be myself. And so my drag is sunshine with a touch of spice!"

Why do you deserve to win the crown?: "I deserve to take the crown because I'm bringing the island flavour, the sauce and a little something special to the competition that y'all have been missing out on! The world is ready for Rileasa to be crowned the UK's Next Drag Race Superstar. Let's go!"
