No,
DQ doesn't stand for disqualified, although it is tempting.
Peter Andersen is 34 years old, born in Køge and
brought up in Borup in the middle of Zealand. He moved to Copenhagen as
a grown-up. After 10th grade he went to the higher business school in
Roskilde, military service for nine months in Sjælsmark, educated
hairdresser since January 1998.
For the last 10 years he has been a rather significant part of Danish
show business. Originally, Peter Andersen is educated hair dresser from
Copenhagen - but after having worked as a hairdresser for almost a year
he chose to make singing and performing to more than just a hobby."I
have performed in various rockbands, and back in 1997 a girlfriend called
me to ask if I wanted to perform in her trio, Naughty Voices: "It's
four to five easy songs for four to five easy voices. But you have to
wear a dress - because it is a drag show", she told me. "No
way", I said."
He has performed in various rockbands - and in 1997-99 in his first drag
show, Naughty Voices. Singer in another band, Tina Turner Jam (later called
Turn On Tina) since 1997. Has performed with his own dragshow since 2002.
Married to Lucas (since 2005) and has two Chihuahuas, Tyson and Chilie.
Has so far put out one single, MissTerious (1998) and participated in
two albums, Rock'n Dance and Danmarks Bedste Kopier ("Denmark's best
copies") (from 2000).
"Winning Danish Song Contest really inspires me to write and perform
with more songs like Drama Queen. After the victory I thought: "Now
I have made something that people like. I bet I can do that again..."
Right now it's party full-frontal and fast forward like never before for
the winner of the Danish Song Contest 2007, DQ. And in Denmark he is already
famous for changing costumes up to 13 times during a one hour show, this
enabling him to copy well-known female singers like Tina Turner and Cher
and Danish stars like Birthe Kjær and Sanne Salomonsen. "One
song in particular is very famous among the audience, because it is considered
to be a Danish classic, a winner of the Danish Song Contest and third
place in the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest Vi Maler Byen Rød by
Birthe Kjær. The sight of me coming onto the stage in red dress
is sometimes enough. Today I cannot have enough feathers and spangles
and colorful costumes. I want to go all the way...! The song about "Drama
Queen" is not about me being a woman or a queen creating drama, but
describes my role on the stage. As Drama Queen."
