Born in Chandler, Quebec,[1] and raised in the community of Pabos Mills, Flora struggled with anti-queer bullying for years before dropping out of high school at 15 and leaving her hometown at 17.[2]
She became homeless in Montreal for two years before launching Silver Catalano (2015-2019) as a drag musical project,[3] first attracting widespread media attention in 2016 and 2017 for her synthwave single Wave.[1]
Her career has been marked by LGBTQ+ activism, including being a part of the first drag show ever staged in the Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine.[4]
Gionest-Roussy is a non-binary trans woman.[5][6]
