El entrevistado se presenta como Walter Javier y luego presenta a La Queen: “Es una superstar argentina, cantante, actriz, modelo, todo lo que quieras, a donde vas ella va”. Ella cobra vida cuando Walter, una marica de Fuerte Apache, se draguea. Y es una artista de éxito en el trap y la música urbana que hoy conquista el pop con su álbum Mi Mundo.

Queen began to take my world at the beginning of pandemic. “Se llama así porque me dije: ‘si todo esto se va al choto, voy a hacer lo que quiero hacer yo, que es pop’”. Antes, La Queen hacía trap y le iba bien: su canción “Te Quiero”, junto a Emanero, perteneciente a su álbum Re Fuerte, de 2019, le había valido una nominación a la categoría “Mejor colaboración de música urbana” en los premios Carlos Gardel del 2020.

"I can" was the first theme that launched in this registry of great diva pop, and the public went crazy. El trap la ayudó para darse a conocer y forjar un público, pero el pop es la misión para la que La Queen llegó al mundo.“I am an artist, I do not make music because yes.If what I do do not feel it, wait for something new to take out.Life is not to complicate: if nobody saw you, work on that and the next one will see you, ”he says, with a determination that is registered trademark.

“I know that I am a super star, a singer, a artissssa like this with the‘ s ’dragged.I was born for the camera.If you know where you are going, people start to follow you.I know what I want, and make a pop album in a world where the trap and reggaeton dominate was a decision, ”he says. Presentó el álbum en Tecnópolis y fue un éxito: semanas después repetiría el show en el mismo lugar, esta vez en el escenario principal.

Born to be the great Argentine drag

Walter is 24 years old with intensity.Queen exists since January 8, 2019, the day he released his first video.

Queen is born from a question: how can it be that there is not a great Argentine drag?Walter had no doubts: he had to embody her (she?) Himself.There were vedettes and also Drags in Rave or Rocker Circuits, but this young artist identified a vacant place, that of the Mass Popstar. “Hay muchísimas drags, pero nadie realmente popular, no había como una Pablo Vittar para Brasil o Ru Paul para Estados Unidos, que es nuestra reina. Yo no podía entender que estuviera ese espacio vacío y nadie lo use”, explica.

The road was not easy but either was either as difficult as hegemonic stories want to believe.Queen did not start dancing at parties or performing perfos, for an issue that was in turn practice and survival.It did not come from a simple place to begin to get to know.He wondered what will happen if I get rid of here in the neighborhood?So she decided to start with social networks.

“Instagram fue mi ventana para que la gente me pueda conocer, y posta que estoy re agradecida”, dice quién se refiere a sí mismx alternadamente en femenino y masculino.

Walter era muy consciente de las dificultades a las que se enfrentaba con esta misión: en sus palabras, un pibe puto de Fuerte Apache nunca había tenido acceso a las tendencias, ni hablar de un nutrido guardarropa o lo último en maquillaje importado. Empezó con nada.“At first, instead of wigs I wore handkerchiefs, because I had no money.Do you know what a wig has it here? ”, It is outraged between laughs.

Today you can say that he achieved it and is a mandatory reference when thinking drags Argentinas. La Queen logró el que puede parecer el reconocimiento máximo para una artista de su tipo: fue convocada por World of Wonder de Warner Bros, la productora de Ru Paul, para el reality “Queen of the Universe”, un concurso de canto que reúne Drag Queens de todo el globo.A dream come true.But the context does not accompany and still does not know if you can do the casting.And if not for this, it will be for the next season.

"I never thought this was going to happen when I created the Queen," Walter gets excited.

‘The love of the neighborhood was always great’

With his story, Walter seems very important.

“El amor del barrio siempre fue genial”, afirma el artista, quien fue adoptado por su familia cuando era un bebé.For example, his family always gave him everything in his power so he can be happy and authenticx.Walter does not stop thanking them over and over again in the course of the talk and would like his case to serve as an example for other families to begin to support their huejes, be the way they may be.

En mi casa siempre fue ‘acá te respetamos y queremos que seas feliz, no nos interesa otra cosa’ ¿Y por qué? Porque sabían en qué barrio vivimos. Yo me di cuenta de que vivía en el Fuerte Apache [enfatiza con las manos] a los nueve años, porque cuando iba al colegio o me movía por afuera y decía dónde vivía, me empezaban a mirar con una cara fea.I did not understand the background.Then I realized. Yo soy una disidencia en un barrio que ya es marginado de por sí. Entonces, soy una persona doblemente marginada”.

Hoy sigue viviendo en el Fuerte Apache y no tiene intenciones de dejar de hacerlo: “Yo crecí acá y tengo a todos mis amigos y mis vecinos de toda la vida.When I created the Queen and showed her to the world, nobody knew it was me and then they couldn't believe it. Porque la persona más conocida del barrio antes era Tévez y ahora es La Queen”, se divierte. “Pasar de un extremo al otro, mover todas las estructuras completas. Porque yo soy un putón, un maricón, el LGBTIQ soy yo”.

And he is proud of the change he feels helped to build.Today, the neighborhood is a much friendlier for those who do not fit gender stereotypes.“Before we were super invisible in the neighborhood.There was no representation of the fag or puton. Y ahora no te das una idea de la cantidad de maricas que hay acá”, dice con orgullo palpable. “Me han dicho en la calle ‘gracias a vos pude ser’.And that is impressive ".

The glamorous does not take away the national and popular.Class consciousness and thanks are central to your message. Walter asegura: recibir una computadora del plan Conectar Igualdad le cambió la vida. Así comenzó a hacer música."I'm always going to say that the computer was given to me by Cristina, and that Cristina helped me to be who I am today," he says."And thanks to that I found my art, thanks to that netbook, which for some will be a shit netbook but for me it was a gold netbook".

At that time, he recalls, nor could he dream of his own computer, his xadres killed themselves working but they had everything right to eat and dressed every day the same because he had no options. Y revela: “Esa acción, esa política de estado, me abrió los ojos: yo puedo tener esto.And it was my bridge to the technological one, I had no cell phone.It was a change of life ".

So deals with those who follow can see the privilege they have: "It is very important to be appreciation, we always complain about everything," he says.

Britney, Madonna, Kylie, Lali and Queen

Al escuchar Mi Mundo, hay un tema que capta la atención en una primera escucha, y es porque es una trasposición libre y personal de “(You Drive Me) Crazy” de Britney Spears, el hit de 1999. Se llama “¿Dónde estás?” y que esta canción haya sido lanzada en tiempos de #FreeBritney, no es algo casual."For me, Britney is everything," he says. “La reina del pop latino es Raffaella Carra, punto número uno. La reina del pop – pop es Madonna.The Queen of Pop Disco and Electro is Kylie Minogue and her latest album is the best.And the Pop Hot princess, sensual, is Britney ".

"With the subject I want to give it a hug, which knows that in Argentina we re -banked it," explains the author.It is a song for a boy, but the background is inspired by "(You drive me) crazy" in a deeper way. Le suscita una reflexión sobre la situación que vivió Britney la última década, extendiéndola al mundo del espectáculo en general: “Tenemos que mover el avispero porque esto no sólo le pasa a Britney.Our Londra Paulo, something similar happened to him.That is very dangerous within the art world: Unx thinks that dedicating yourself to music is sitting with a guitar and a microphone, but no, ”he reflects.

"Probame" and "I want to go" are also inspired by Britney. “Tenemos que ver y escuchar que el pop está volviendo”, dice."For example, Lali's new.What I want most is that an artist can be who he is.And it is obvious that she is that ".

‘You can collide, you can fall: but you have to move on’

Walter Javier is a person who pursued his goals.As an artist who does not come from an easy place, he is interested in inspiring the same thing in those who follow him: to form, to go for more.

“Yo siempre les digo, te doy un autógrafo, pero te lo firmo en el libro que estés leyendo o en un título… ¡estudien!”, dice riéndose pero en serio.And he thinks it is a message that the most massive, more catchy artists should give: “I don't see anyone to tell their fans to study or focus on their careers.We all live for us, all egocentric.I think you always have to give a message with what you do ".

Walter shows how it is in all aspects of his life and authenticity seems to him the first.That of course applies to Queen."I follow very few people, I only like artists who are faithful to themselves," he says.

Con este álbum, el mensaje es que quiero que siempre sean fieles a lo que son.No matter how you are, don't change to fit.Do what you feel to do and, obviously, you will be wrong, we are all going to collide with walls millions of times. Eso parece que no se entiende hoy en día: te podés chocar, te podés caer, pero hay que seguir adelante.That is the message with ‘my world’: I know you, I know who you want to be.Spot".

Pero aunque es un proyecto artístico visceralmente honesto y el que lo representa por completo, La Queen y Walter no son la misma persona ni están tan mezcladas como puede parecer a simple vista.Walter is a real wordaholic and Queen doesn't leave breath.

So who is who?

Yo no me maquillo cuando estoy aburrido.Queen is my job, I am a business person.If I go for five pesos, they will call me for five pesos. ¡Y La Queen no va a ningún lado por cinco pesos! Ella es un personaje, es una superstar y hay que cuidarla.And Walter is me in my day to day, the producer of the Queen, is much more strict than she. La Queen sólo tiene que brillar y yo me preocupo de que salga todo perfecto, porque quiero que la gente que pagó una entrada se vaya sintiéndose que fue a Disney”.
