## Logo

**Alyssa Leann Nicole Edwards** είναι το καλλιτεχνικό όνομα του **Justin Johnson**, ένας Αμερικανός drag performer και χορογράφος από το Ντάλας του Τέξας. Είναι περισσότερο γνωστός ως διαγωνιζόμενος στην Σεζόν 5 και All Stars 2 του *RuPaul's Drag Race*.

Η Alyssa θεωρείται από τις συναδέλφους της βασίλισσας και τους θαυμαστές ότι είναι ένας θρύλος του Drag Race, έχοντας διαγωνιστεί για το στέμμα δύο φορές, διευθύνοντας μια επιτυχημένη χορευτική ομάδα, πήρε το δικό τους τηλεοπτικό σόου και ήταν η προέλευση των όρων Drag Race όπως "Rigga Morris" από το All Stars 2, "Backrolls" από την 5η σεζόν και η εμβληματική της ποπ γλώσσα. Έχει αφήσει το στίγμα της ως μια από τις πιο αξιομνημόνευτες διαγωνιζόμενες του σόου και κέρδισε τις καρδιές των θαυμαστών.

## Προέλευση του Drag Name

Μεγάλωσε σε μια μεγάλη οικογένεια όπου όλοι έπρεπε να συμφωνήσουν σε μια τηλεοπτική εκπομπή για να παρακολουθήσουν, και το "Who's the Boss" ήταν αυτό. Σκέφτηκε ότι αν ήταν ποτέ κορίτσι, θα ήταν η Αλίσα Μιλάνο. Το επώνυμό της προήλθε από την drag μητέρα της, Laken Edwards. Οι πρώτοι μέντορες της Alyssa ήταν η Miss Manny, η drag γιαγιά της και η Whitney Paige, μια βασίλισσα των καλλιστείων του Τέξας.

Μετά την 5η σεζόν, ο Logo άρχισε να συνεργάζεται με τον Justin σε μια εκπομπή που ονομάζεται *Beyond Belief* που επικεντρώνεται στην Beyond Belief Dance Company, της οποίας είναι ο σκηνοθέτης. Ωστόσο, η προβολή της σειράς ακυρώθηκε μετά τον τραγικό θάνατο της μητέρας του Τζόνσον, η οποία εμφανίστηκε έντονα στην εκπομπή. Μια νέα έκδοση της σειράς είναι στο Netflix, με πρεμιέρα στις 5 Οκτωβρίου 2018, με τίτλο "Dancing Queen". Επίσης, η Alyssa and Her Dance Company διαγωνίστηκαν στην 3η και 16η σεζόν του *America's Got Talent* όπου έφτασαν στους Προημιτελικούς και τις δύο φορές.
