An easier question may be, what HASN’T Jinkx Monsoon done since her season? In terms of music, Monsoon has released two albums that range in all sorts of genres. Her first full-length album was 2014’s “The Inevitable Album,” which sounded very Broadway and blues-inspired. Then in 2018, Monsoon released “The Ginger Snapped” with her musical partner, an artist named Major Scales. The single off this project was “Cartoons and Vodka,” in which Monsoon sings about just wanting to watch cartoons and drink vodka. Genius!
Ever since her Season 5 win, Monsoon has been traveling around the world performing for fans. She’s starred in dozens of cabarets, musical revues, and tours over the years. One of her most popular shows was her joint-Christmas tour with fellow “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum BenDeLaCreme called “The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show.” As of this writing, Monsoon and Major Scales have still been hitting the road together in Europe.
As for her love life, Monsoon actually met her “extremely British” husband, Michael Abbott, in 2019 while she was on tour in the United Kingdom, per AnOther. While they were long-distance in the beginning, sadly, the 2020 COVID lockdown kept them from seeing each other. But then, according to The New York Times, the two got married in their living room when Abbott was able to see Monsoon after he got a 90-day visitation from the government. Not even COVID could keep them apart!
