About Guy Anabella

Based in Toronto

Bold. Brilliant. Unapologetically Caribbean. Guy Anabella is a Toronto-based drag artist known for delivering high-glam, polished looks and electrifying energy. She embodies what she calls the brains, the brawn, and the beauty - and she serves all three with fierce intention.

The Brains.

Guy is an award-winning professor of Creativity at Sheridan College and a design instructor at Toronto Metropolitan University. Her academic work centers on creativity, equity, and design, and she uses drag as a pedagogical tool to challenge binaries, empower students, and spark cultural dialogue.

The Brawn.

Off-stage, Guy is a recreational powerlifter who benches 315 pounds. In 2025, she released her debut single, “Pretty Girls Are Strong,” a queer empowerment anthem performed during her winning run at the Legacy Pride Pageant, sponsored by Absolut, Vision Drag, and Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. She performed it while lifting a 135-pound barbell overhead in full drag.

The Beauty.

Guy began drag in 2021, performing in her living room for close friends for two years before stepping onto public stages. Since emerging, she has captivated audiences across Ontario with a drag style rooted in her Guyanese heritage - a vibrant fusion of Caribbean aesthetics and queer joy. She starred in the premiere of Drag Brunch Saved My Life on Crave, hosted by Priyanka, where she hosted, performed, and shared a powerful on-camera moment as her parents saw her in drag for the first time.

From lecture halls to barbells and plates to the drag stage, Guy Anabella is a creative force redefining what it means to be a drag artist.
