Priyanka

Born out of the Toronto drag scene and carried by Mark Suknanan, Priyanka has been developing from Canada a pop project that extends a journey started on youth television under the name Mark Suki, notably on YTV. Originating from Whitby, Ontario, and from an Indo-Guyanese family, Priyanka began drag in 2017 in Toronto clubs before quickly expanding her visibility by winning the first season of Canada’s Drag Race in 2020. Her music sits within performance pop, direct and very rhythmic, nourished by dance, electro-pop and club aesthetics, with choruses designed for the stage and an emphasis placed on the character, humor and visual energy. Priyanka released the Taste Test EP in 2021, then followed with several singles, including 'Come Through' with Lemon and 'Country Queen', which shows occasional openness toward country pop. In 2024, Priyanka released her first album, Devastatia, confirming this line between dance-pop, drag culture and live formats. Alongside her musical career, Priyanka remains active in North American television and event circuits, between drag tours, shows, festivals and appearances on stages tied to queer and pop cultures.
