Video Story – Andrew Scott (Randy Salgado)

On weekends, you can find actor, singer and dancer Jacob Andrew Almanza, who performs in drag as Andrew Scott, putting on stiletto high heels, padded hips, a halter top and a long wig at R Place, a Seattle nightclub.

Onstage, Scott is transformed into Selena Quintanilla, known as the “Queen of Tejano Music,” who was murdered at age 23 in 1995.

Selena is one of the personas that Scott brings to life onstage, and one that brings some of his culture into his drag.

“The people who love Selena go crazy every time I perform her,” Scott said. “It is a great way to pay homage to somebody who inspired me and also let people know I am Latino, despite of what I look in drag.”

And Scott hopes to take his drag performances to the next level — as a serious singer.
