Rupaul's Drag Race Contestant, Phi Phi O'Hara

April 04, 2014

Phi Phi O'Hara, a finalist on season four of RuPaul's Drag Race, is releasing a brand new single this month that boldly takes ownership of the title she won on television's popular drag competition show. In ?Bitchy?, the outlandish drag star lets fans know she wears the label proudly. Written and produced by Zach Adam and Heather Holley (who has written several hits for Christina Aguilera), ?Bitchy? is a pop/rock anthem that O'Hara describes as if P!nk, Joan Jett and Adam Lambert had a baby. ?I really wanted something that was representative of who I am,? she explains. ?I have a sweet but edgy side. I needed music that matched. It is also meant to be an inspirational message to fans to never allow negative names to tear you down.? Phi Phi O'Hara's ?Bitchy? will be available Tuesday, April 8th on iTunes, PhiPhiOHara.com and all major music online retailers. 50% of sales collected on www.PhiPhiOHara.com from April 8th through May 18th will be donated to the AIDS Walk of NYC. However, she is releasing the track as Phi Phi O'Hara and appears in full drag in the song's music video. ?I could never forget Phi Phi and the impact she has on who I am as a person and the career I have today. That's why I felt it was appropriate to release ?Bitchy? as my alter ego,? she explains. ?I would like to eventually transition into singing and performing as Jaremi.? ?Bitchy? by Phi Phi O'Hara is available April 8th on iTunes and all major online retailers.
