Adore Delano

Adore Delano, born Danny Noriega, is an American drag performer and pop musician who rose to national prominence as the runner-up of season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race and later returned for the show's second All Stars season. That platform gave her a large built-in fanbase that carried directly into a recording career built around synth-driven pop and dance music.

Her catchphrase-turned-branding, «Party!», anchored the titles of her first two studio albums, Till Death Do Us Party (2014) and After Party (2016), both of which charted on the Billboard 200 and topped or came close to the top of the Dance/Electronic Albums chart, reflecting a strong, dedicated audience within LGBTQ+ and Drag Race fan communities. Her 2017 follow-up, Whatever, marked a deliberate stylistic pivot toward dark, guitar-driven punk and grunge-inflected rock, moving away from the club-pop sound of her earlier work.
