In an introductory video uploaded on July 6, 2023, the 21-year-old performer opened up about his newfound fame as drag queen—and what it means to be a child of a member of one of the most prominent girl groups in the country.
He said in full drag flourish, "Hi, my name is Sofia. I am 21 years old, and I am the SexBomb legacy."
In sorority talk, a legacy is someone who is related to a member in the sisterhood, commonly the child of such member.
MOM IZZY'S REACTION
Andrei joked, "Tinawag po akong SexBomb royalty kasi ang ganda ko. Chareng," then he clarified, "De, kasi po ano, anak po ako ni SexBomb Izzy."
About his mother's reaction to his becoming a drag artist, he said, "Actually, surprisingly, super supportive niya when it comes to my craft.
"Kasi nga nakita niya na din na super nag-e-enjoy ako lalo na yung bumibili ako ng mga gamit, ganon."
He remembered that one time he was asked by his mom, seeing he owned so many wigs, if he could use just one wig.
Andrei recalled telling her, "'Hindi puwede kasi fantasy ko ito, ganon. Kailangan iba-ibang kulay.' So, okay naman sa kanya. Lahat ng ginagawa ko as in, open siya.
"Wala siyang judgment kahit anumang pagpapa-sexy ko at ano, pagpapa-show off ko ng skin. Super support siya."

CHAMPION OF BODY POSITIVITY
When asked about the core of Sofia's positivity, Andrei said, "Si Sofia, she's not the thinnest of them all, she's not the sexiest.
"But her fantasy is siya yung pinaka-sexy out of them all."
As for Sofia's go-to performance, Andrei described, "Very dancey, that's first.
"Second is dancey pa din, pero sexy dances. Sa chair, very like musical dance.
"Very SexBomb, actually," he quipped along with the girl group's catchprase, "Get! Get! Aw!"
Andre's rise to fame has been nothing short of fulfilling, kicking it off through the drag competition Bunganga Battle Royale.
He said, "To be honest, gusto ko and kailangan ko ng experience since kaka-start ko palang mag-drag.
"And I know na malaki yung mabibigay sa akin itong improvement ng competition."
