Sapphira Cristál is a classically trained opera singer, composer, and drag queen known for her theatrical lip sync style and six-octave vocal range. She was the runner-up and Miss Congeniality on season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, where she showed her incredible versatility as a performer, including winning the first challenge with her very special rendition of O mio babbino caro.

Sapphira holds 14 pageant crowns—including Miss'd America 2020/21. She has performed nationwide, notably appearing twice at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival: first in 2019, when she sang on the same bill as Stephanie Blythe, and again in 2023, when she was featured as a headlining artist. In the drag sphere, Sapphira is renowned as a charismatic host who commands the room and establishes a special, intimate connection with her audience. Philadelphia magazine named her 2023’s Best Drag Queen Who Actually Sings.
