Shuga Cain

Cain was announced to be one of fifteen contestants competing on season eleven of RuPaul's Drag Race on January 24, 2019. In episode 3, Cain was a part of the historic 6-way lipsync (the first time in the show history in which more than two contestans had to lipsync to avoid elimination), which she survived.. Cain lipsynced once again in episode 5, where she sent home Ariel Versace to Whitney Houston's I'm Your Baby Tonight. Despite never winning a challenge, Cain placed in the top during the season's Snatch Game challenge, where she portrayed Charo. Finally, Cain was eliminated in the 10th episode after lipsyncing to No More Drama by Mary J. Blige against Vanessa Vanjie Mateo. She finished the competition in 7th place. During her time on the show, Cain released Shuga in the Raw, where she recapped every episode of season 11.

From March 26th to September 6th, she was a part of the rotating cast for RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 11 Tour, presented by Voss Events and World of Wonder, and hosted by Asia O'Hara. The show kicked off in Los Angeles on May 26 during the RuPaul's DragCon LA wrap party (hosted by Drag Race judge Michelle Visage) and concluded with a final bow on September 6 in New York City (also hosted by Visage) at the top of RuPaul’s DragCon NYC.

Cain started drag full time in 2017, quitting a six-figure corporate job to pursue it. In March 2018, Cain was a part of Max Emerson's Drag Babies series, hosted by Bob the Drag Queen. She was a Drag Mentor, alongside Peppermint and Chi Chi DeVayne.

In 2011, Martinez starred in a production of Xanadu, portraying Sonny Malone.
