Kameron Michaels Career

At the start of Young's drag career, a more seasoned performer made his costumes, but he taught himself how to use makeup. He initially took the drag name Arianna St. Claire. After a few months, he switched the name to Kameron Michaels, as he wanted an androgynous first name paired with a last name used by no other drag queen in Nashville.

Young took inspiration for his aesthetic from cinema and video games, and he describes his drag style as hyper-feminine. He credits the Southern variety of drag he learned in Nashville with making him well-rounded, stating that it equipped him with diverse skills such as dancing and costume-making. After developing a gym habit in his mid-20s, he became known as a muscle queen due to his built physique. Before appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race, Young worked full time as a hair stylist, doing drag only on weekends. He performed regularly at Play Dance Bar in Nashville.

Michaels auditioned for the seventh season of Drag Race in 2014, but she did not receive a callback. She then auditioned for the tenth season in an effort to overcome a difficult breakup. On her audition tape, she highlighted that, as a muscle queen, she was a type of character the show had never seen before. She was selected to participate, and her season aired in 2018. She finished as a runner-up, together with Eureka O'Hara, behind winner Aquaria.

Some media outlets and fellow contestants dubbed Michaels the season's lip sync assassin, as she lip-synced for her life four times in a row without being sent home; no other contestant has survived more than three lip syncs. She also won the finale's first Lip Sync for the Crown but lost the second one to Aquaria, bringing her lip sync total to six. On the show, she was noted for her introversion, which set her apart from her competitors. Following criticism she received in the season's reunion episode for appearing more extroverted on social media than in person, Michaels learned about ambiversion. She has stated that this description fits her well.

In August 2021, Michaels appeared on the ninth episode of the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. Serving as the episode's Lip Sync Assassin, she lip synced against the week's top competitor, Ra'Jah O'Hara, and was declared the winner.

As part of season 10's final challenge, Michaels and the other top four contestants wrote and recorded their own verses for RuPaul's song "American". The song reached number 12 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart. In summer 2018, Michaels participated in the 10s Across the Board Tour, traveling around the U.S. with other queens from the season. Later that year, she recorded the track "Let It Snow" on Christmas Queens 4, a compilation album featuring Christmas songs sung by former Drag Race contestants. Following the album's release, she embarked on the Christmas Queens tour of Europe in November and December 2018. She then returned to Europe for a solo tour in January 2019. The following month, she released a lip sync music video in which she performs Mark Ronson's "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart". In June of that year, she released her debut single, "Freedom", and its corresponding music video.

Since the second half of 2018, Michaels has traveled around the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe for several legs of Werq the World, and she appears in a docuseries about that tour. From January 2020, Michaels has been a staple of RuPaul's Drag Race Live!, a residency show in Las Vegas. The show went on hiatus for much of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Michaels was still on the cast when it resumed in August 2021. She also co-stars in RuPaul's Drag Race: Vegas Revue, a VH1 miniseries about the live show. In May 2020, Michaels participated in a live-streamed version of Werq the World to raise money for drag entertainers out of work due to the pandemic. Since July 2020, Michaels has been on tour with Drive 'N Drag, a drive-in drag show held outdoors to accommodate social distancing restrictions imposed due to COVID-19.
