Encore Episode: Trixie Mattel

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is bringing you an encore episode of his conversation with Trixie Mattel.

Since winning RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2015, ⁠Mattel⁠ has blossomed into a formidable drag superstar, which makes her the perfect person to kick off Pride Month.

Between creating subversive country ⁠albums⁠ (including team-ups with kindred spirit Orville Peck), uploading videos to her massively popular ⁠YouTube channel⁠, and helming her own ⁠cosmetics line⁠, Mattel only continues to reach greater heights with her unique and unapologetic business savvy.

Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Veeps⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
