Jobs of Tomorrow: How AndreMorris went from G-Unit to drag queen management
-- but he approaches his current clients just as he would an industry veteran. “It doesn’t matter if they are a drag queen or not,” he explains. “The biggest stars in the world are able to do multiple things at once, and that’s how they can grow their business and allow different eyes to see them that wouldn’t have seen them before.”
Though his queens vary in experience, they are all, like Morris himself, entrepreneurs. “They know exactly what they want, so they come to me with that intention and goal,” he says. “It’s a lot easier for me because they’re willing to work as hard for me as I am for them.” Day to day, he provides the services that employees across multiple departments at a label ordinarily would. “I’m doing marketing, I’m doing A&R, I’m also advising them on what to do with their careers,” he says.
In the meantime, watching his roster in action is its own reward. “Each day I get to see them be colorful, be activists, be entertainers and see them make a difference,” says Morris. “The greatest thing is to see the young kids who show up to the shows and have so much to say about how much the queens mean to them. It’s the greatest job in the world.”Main Image: Andre Morris and his clients Tammie Brown and Peppermint photographed on June 11, 2019 in New York.
