From 2010 to 2019, I lived my best pop star life, producing and touring the world as Lady Gaga in my tribute show, The Lady Gaga Experience. During this time, I played Lady Gaga in numerous film and TV productions, including for E! Network, MTV, and in the series “Fashion Planet ” on Dutch/German TV. I was also the only Lady Gaga impersonator in the world whose photos were mistaken for the real Gaga on DVD covers and in numerous major publications.

Some other highlights include opening for K-pop star G.E.M. in China and Rachel Platten at Long Island Pride, performing at Citi Field, and appearing at ABC’s Times Square New Year’s Eve party the same night Lady Gaga headlined. I also performed in Hong Kong, for Lan Kwai Fong at Mission Hills China, at international private events, and U.S. festivals like Pittsburgh Little Italy Days, Binghamton Pride, and at countless nightclubs, drag clubs, birthday parties, wedding receptions, and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs.

Press features from this time included MTV, CNN, Inside Edition, PopDust, China Daily, India Times, Brooklyn Based, The Daily News, AM NY, Fashion Spot, Crushable, AM NY, Metro Source, Vulture, Bitten and Bound, The Lady Gaga Official Collectors Magazine, and other publications worldwide.

While this era was incredibly fun, everything has a season. I ultimately retired because I envisioned more for myself than spending my post-35 years dancing around nightclubs and event venues in a bubble dress!

Below are some photos from my incredible journey and a glimpse of the wild ride I experienced as a Lady Gaga lookalike and impersonator. I can’t wait to share the full story in my upcoming memoir, where I’ll take you behind the scenes of this unforgettable anv super surreal chapter of my life.
