00:28am Matz van Huister,

00:29also known as Miss High on Matz and I'm 19 years old.

00:33I grew up in a small town and so I started like dance at the age of five years old and then I

00:41started to do musicals when I was like seven and so there became my interest for makeup and wigs

00:48and so I started pursuing drag. The current state of politics of course it makes me scared because you

00:57know not everybody likes what I do or think it's a profession at all and you know everybody has an

01:02opinion which they're totally entitled to but sometimes it makes me scare what the future brings

01:09to expel, never hold back.

01:13Of course there is a big difference doing drag in your bedroom and performing for a lot of people.

01:19You know I always wanted to perform and I always wanted to do makeup so this is just a combination

01:25of all my strengths and I just love it.

01:29It was kind of a natural thing that happened from bedroom drag to full time.

01:36It was kind of a natural thing.

01:44For me my personality out of drag is also kind of bubbly and I always like to talk and you know have

01:51fun but I'm a little bit more shy when I'm out of drag and when I'm in drag you know everything

01:57just falls on my shoulders and you know it's kind of like a superhero cape that I put on.

02:17I ended up in Amsterdam because the options here are far more than for example in my city in Utrecht

02:26just because Amsterdam is just the gay capital of the world and there are a lot more chances especially

02:32in drag here.

02:36When I first started performing I started performing here at Taboo actually and my drag mother was here

02:42and I met her and yeah then we just kind of talked and she talked me into being a really good drag queen

02:49which I didn't think I was at the time but she saw potential and that's how we met actually.

02:56And how's everybody doing tonight?

03:04That's the energy we like, okay?

03:07When I'm performing I'm just really living my authentic self and something clicks when I start to go on stage you know

03:15and for me performing is just so it's such a great feeling for me to perform and just be me

03:22and if that's an Ariana Grande song or a Beyonce song you know I can still put 100% myself in that song

03:30and that's just when I feel most at ease.

03:41The achievements that I already got are Holland's Best Drag Artist which is one of the main competitions

03:51here in Holland which I actually won and I'm very proud of and for the future I would love to do

03:57RuPaul's Drag Race obviously because that's the ultimate dream for a lot of drag queens and that

04:03that would mean the world to me if I could participate.
