Hey fabulous listeners, it's your girl Chanel Perrillo, back with an extra special treat for you all - my very first truly solo episode of "Shut Up, Chanel"! Today, I'm taking the reins and giving you an exclusive peek into the wild ride that is my life.
From New Jersey to San Diego, to Los Angeles, I'm here to tell you about my journey from being the daughter of a very Italian family to becoming a big-city queen. But before we get into all the juicy stuff, let's go back to where it all began.
Born in New Jersey, my family had to "relocate" when I was just 6 years old for reasons I'll fill you all in on later! It was a big change, but little did I know, it would be the beginning of an incredible journey of self-discovery.
From navigating the awkwardness of middle school to embracing my newfound popularity in high school, I've had my fair share of ups and downs along the way. But it wasn't until I made the move to LA that I truly began to shine.
Life in LA has been a whirlwind of excitement, challenges, and unforgettable moments. And through it all, I've learned that true happiness comes from embracing who you are and owning your unique journey.
While studying at FIDM, I tried out different jobs, starting as a hostess and later interning at Erica Courtney, a fancy jewelry company. During that time, I met two important men who helped me grow into the confident person I am today. I worked as their assistant, helping with tasks like organizing glamorous events at places like Les Deux. Eventually, I got a chance to work in TV, starting as a production assistant on RuPaul's Drag U and Drag Race.
It was through this experience that I discovered my passion for casting, and I've since had the privilege of working on amazing shows.
So join me as I take you on a journey through the highs, the lows, and all the fabulous moments in between. This is just the beginning, and I can't wait to share it all with you. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into this wild ride together.
