River Medway describes herself as "50% white British, 50% Singaporean, and 100% a cross dresser" and explained that "Because there's so little drag in Kent, there's no specific style. And because of that it's allowed me to do what I want. And here I am — a beautiful butterfly!"
In terms of her drag-spiration, she said that "I love Hannah Montana. I've always been obsessed with her and now when I think about it I loved the transformation. By day, she was a schoolgirl, living a completely normal life, and then by night she's a pop star, with wigs, make up. and outfits. That's drag ! And that's how I feel in drag." She added that her mum and sister were also her inspirations. "Growing up with them, they were such glam divas! My mum never left the house without a full face of makeup."
