Before becoming a drag superstar, Shane studied music performance at the Hartt School, a performing arts conservatory within the University of Hartford, and graduated from SUNY Purchase with a degree in violin and viola performance. Shane often performs music as Thorgy with her "Thorchestra" and plays cello as well as violin and viola. Those skills also landed Shane a role on the Amazon Prime series Mozart in the Jungle.

Check out Thorgy and her fellow fairy dragmothers in the new TLC series Dragnificent, airing Mondays at 10.
