Biography
Laganja Estranja is the stage name of Jay Jackson, an American choreographer, drag queen, and cannabis rights activist based in Los Angeles, California. He rose to fame as a contestant on the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, finishing in eighth place. Laganja performed moderately well on the show, winning a challenge while partnered with eventual runner-up Adore Delano. During the show, Laganja became infamous for her over-the-top dramatics, catchphrases, and emotional breakdowns. Jay is a choreographer at Beyond Belief Dance Studio in Mesquite, Texas, a studio owned by his drag mother, Alyssa Edwards. In 2016, Jay and friends developed Laganja's Dance School, a hip hop-oriented jazz-funk choreography class and confidence workshop. The workshop is held in North Hollywood, California, and also tours abroad. In 2014, Jay contributed vocals to a cover of RuPaul's "Jealous of My Boogie", for the album RuPaul Presents: The CoverGurlz. On June 4, 2018 he debuted on So You Think You Can Dance (United States) on Fox.
