Naomi Smalls Strikes A “Pose”

Naomi Smalls, currently competing on the fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars, premiered her fierce new ballroom house anthem on this weekend’s episode.

“Naomi Smalls is a fashion model and ‘Pose’ is her dream world,” explains the drag extraordinaire.

She enlisted music producers Cameron Traxxx and Todd Diederich and Weird Life Films, to bring her super chic song to life and says the making of it was the most fun she’s had in her seven years of performing drag.   “I loved the entire process of creating  the song and its music video.  I think it will give viewers an enjoyable glimpse into my chaotic mind.”  ‘Pose’ by Naomi Smalls releases to iTunes on December 27.  

Naomi Smalls is the stage name of Davis Heppenstall, best known for competing on the eighth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, where she placed as runner-up with Kim Chi, behind winner Bob The Drag Queen.  Her name, an amalgam of 90s supermodel Naomi Campbell and rapper The Notorious B.I.G, also known as Biggie Smalls, blends her love of fashion and hip hop.

It wasn’t until she moved to Chicago in 2016 that she discovered her passion for house beats.   “Windy City DJ’s like Derrick Carter and Michael Serafini got my lanky ass on the dance floor in a way that never happened in the past.  Spinning around and posing my heart out was the greatest fun and the most me I have ever felt.”

When Smalls was invited to compete on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, she knew it was essential that she find a way to incorporate “Pose” on the show.  “I needed a secret weapon that would spotlight my talent and make the judges and viewers gag.”

“Pose is a celebration of runway, models, glamour and confidence,” she continues.  “It highlights the one thing Naomi Smalls does better than any fashion queen out there: Pose.”
