Jeffree Star
“All his songs appear to be about sex, parties, plastic surgery, serial killers and more sex.”

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Jeffree Star is loading up his Louis Vuitton suitcases and heading to Australia. Go and buy some sunglasses because the future is bright for this multi-talented make up artist/designer/model/ musician.
The tour follows the release of Jeffree’s album Beauty Killer - a buffet for the ears. Featuring cupcake pop and razor sharp guitars, the album exhibits the flamboyant artist’s diversity. Jeffree himself says “Every song has a different feel to it. There’s even some club anthems mixed in there.”
The self proclaimed “Head of the Makeup Mafia” and “Queen Bitch Supreme Among Internet Royalty” started his music career when he put some beats behind his mouthy opinions and cyanide laced wit. Star began writing “really crazy lyrics” to rap beats, in homage to his obsession with hip-hop which led to a chance encounter with Peaches drummer Samantha Maloney, who produced his first solo tracks in 2006.
He has toured extensively in the US, joining the likes of Eagles of Death Metal and Metro Station for rock and electro-pop inspiration.
Since his first EP and single releases, Jeffree has become the darling of MySpace with his vivid cerise hair and heavily tatted complexion gaining the number one position on the MySpace charts and staying there ‘till Star is ready to leave’. But the wonder of Jeffree Star doesn’t stop there; his live shows are as bold and as shocking as the man himself, which he daringly showed to the Warped Tour ’09 crowd.
Every live show is an experiment; recently Star has had the idea of “having the fans hold up a giant mirror in the audience so I can watch myself perform”. It’s this kind of self involved arrogance that makes Jeffree Star so wrong but oh so right.
