Abysm was a number I had had in my head for multiple months that I was originally going to take more time to put together before bringing it to a stage. But when the opportunity was presented, it felt right to do it sooner. In the end, the number was put together in 48 hours before the show. The costume, the video, and the choreography was done in that 2 day time frame. It was a challenge I didn’t know I needed, but the end result (even in its unpolished state) makes my heart full with the meaning and emotions this number is meant to invoke.

Abysm is about the reality of life and the journey to eventual death. It is accepting the inevitable as your loved ones meet their end and as you transverse to your own. It’s about the extremes between life to death.
For me, it’s a very human and vulnerable number.

The song is ABYSM by @unprocessedband

@lindagabephotog did an AMAZING job editing this video from three different angles into a literal masterpiece!!

Spooky season is upon us and was so happy to ring it in with my Freakshow family at Grindhouse 3!!
De’Vile has been a little too prim, proper, and clean lately, I enjoyed bringing Ruvik back out for the 2nd time this year!
Can’t wait to show you guys what I have planned for the end of the month! 😈🖤 by @devile_mortis

It may only be September, but I am pleased and proud to announce that I will be holding a fundraiser show for Make-A-Wish Foundation IN Columbus @spacebarcolumbus on November 29th!
This fundraiser show is my own campaign, a part of a massive GLOBAL fundraiser to try and grant 300 wishes for children with critical illnesses!
De’Viles Inferno: METALMAS will be a massive metal extravaganza just in time for the holidays, with ALL METAL live bands, drag, and burlesque!
The goal for my personal fundraiser campaign is $1,000, but I hope to surpass that goal with the help of both the Ohio metal music scene AND the drag/burlesque communities! Every dollar raised early in the campaign up to $500,000 for the entire global campaign will be match dollar for dollar! (And we are currently sitting below $200,000!)
This is where I call out for sponsors for the METALMAS fundraiser show!
I have 3 tiers listed for sponsorships, each ranging in benefits for your donation! EVERY donation goes DIRECTLY into the tiltify campaign, and ONLY the tiltify campaign!
I am looking for show producers, small businesses, big businesses, anyone wanting to become a sponsor to help build this campaign and surpass our goal for children and their families in need of hope during their darkest times!
If you make a donation, please message me with your receipts and we will move on from there with your sponsor benefits!
The link is LIVE (in my bio), EVERYONE can make donations starting NOW(!!!) all the way to the METALMAS show!

The show flyer is currently being made and will drop before the end of September! I am so excited to announce the bands and performers that have graciously donated their time for this great cause!
Let’s grant some wishes! by @devile_mortis

Proof i’m alive!
No shows booked for September, but I have a couple appearances for October coming!!
September will be spent nurturing myself, my art outside of drag, making a couple new costumes, and working!
It’s been a very slow year for me, and it’s been both sad and nice at the same time to not have as many performances.
The rest of the year is up in the air, but I’m hoping next year will pick up as I gear up to get back into the city! 🖤
Keep your eyes peeled for the next few sightings! It’s going to be a great time! 😈 taken in Lima, Ohio by @devile_mortis

“Dive into the dark ‘cause I’m drowning
In these waters that you forsake
I feel the weight pulling me down
In these depths where I can’t be found”

@fremontohiopride was amazing! I am so glad to have been back for such a wonderful pride event💙
All of the performers were amazing, vendors were friendly, lovely, and had amazing wares, and I loved seeing more resource booths!

My number and look was dedicated to the struggle of being trans and visible in a world that doesn’t want us to exist. The feeling of being at sea and drowning in crashing waves of hate, bigotry, and your own struggles of uncertainty and fear of existing.
I am honored to have been able to bring a different kind of music to Pride spaces that haven’t really brought it before.
I appreciate and love @stevie_phoenix giving me the chance to show that metal DOES belong at Pride! And that it can be beautiful!
To the people who stopped me after my number for pictures, to talk, and connect, thank you! Fremont Pride was amazing, I was so happy to be back a second time 💙
