Biography

The world’s most famous transsexual and an effervescent fixture on the New York scene, Amanda Lepore has been at the cutting edge of culture since the club kid era, breaking and re-making the rules for music, marketing, and gender. Her debut album, "I…Amanda Lepore," is the culmination of her long reign as the queen of Gotham’s button pushing (and button popping) carnival, cementing her status as the most prevalent risk taking creative artist and good-time gal after dark. A dominatrix and a regular member of Michael Alig’s clubland circus at Limelight’s weekly Disco 2000 in the early ‘90s, Amanda went on to work Patricia Field’s makeup counter while finding her physical evolution the most marketable object in town. Amanda has been featured to promote Absolut, Heatherette, M.A.C., Swatch, Smart Car, Perrier, Pop Water and Sergio K, just to name a few trendy brands,. This adoration also includes her own limited edition fragrance by Artware Editions, and in 2006, way before he designed for that other first lady, Jason Wu did a limited edition Amanda Lepore doll, three versions, which represented her in plastic— a creative act that made perfect (dollars for charity and) sense. In April of 2017, Amanda released her acclaimed memoir/coffee table pictorial “Doll Parts”, published by Regan Arts featuring exclusive photos and imagery chronicling her illustrious life and career. Amanda's latest EP of naughty burlesque pop “LEPORE.” is out now. <br>
