**Yenesi** (born November 18, 2000) is a Spanish singer, artist, social media personality, and [drag performer](/source/Drag_(entertainment)).[1][2]

## Life and artistic career

Yenesi was born in [San Juan de la Arena](/source/San_Juan_de_la_Arena), [Soto del Barco](/source/Soto_del_Barco), Asturias, Spain. As a child she discovered the art of drag from watching the drags parade through the port of [Ibiza](/source/Ibiza). Later, at the age of 14, through the reality show *[RuPaul's Drag Race](/source/RuPaul's_Drag_Race)*, she began to discover her character.[3]

In 2022, from some videos where she did some imitations with a simple makeup, she gained popularity on the social network Twitter. Later she went viral with another video with a satirical tone.[4] Since then, the artist has had a strong impact on the networks and has maintained a relationship with personalities such as [Samantha Hudson](/source/Samantha_Hudson) (who is her "drag mom").[5]

In November 2022 she participated, along with other drag artists [Hugáceo Crujiente](/source/Hug%C3%A1ceo_Crujiente), [Carmen Farala](/source/Carmen_Farala), Marcus Massalami and [Morfina](/source/Morfina_(drag_queen)), in a debate on the situation of drag art in Spain in the web program Gen Playz.[6]
