Jaylene Tyme first discovered drag in
Calgary, Alberta before moving to
Vancouver. In June 2024 she was featured in the final episode of season four of ''
Canada's a Drag'', a
CBC Gem docu-series which profiles various drag performers across Canada. By the time of her episode she had been doing drag in Vancouver for over 30 years. In October 2024 she was announced to be one of the eleven queens competing on
season five of ''
Canada's Drag Race.'' During her run on ''Canada's Drag Race'', she also received praise for bringing a kind, compassionate and motherly energy to the often drama-filled Werk Room, particularly when she responded to fellow competitor
Xana's emotional breakdown over her disconnection from her own Métis heritage by giving Xana a traditional Métis
ceinture fléchée. Jaylene was ultimately eliminated in the fifth episode of the season after underperforming in the girl groups challenge and losing a lip-sync to
Love Inc.'s "Here Comes the Sunshine" against Xana. She had previously been saved from lip-syncing for her life in the third episode by
The Virgo Queen. She placed eighth overall. On social media she expressed regret that she was unable to reach the
Snatch Game challenge, which took place in the episode immediately following her elimination, and revealed four planned celebrity impersonations:
Cher,
Dolly Parton,
Mae West and
Buffy Sainte-Marie. In the final episode she wore a dress dedicated to the
Every Child Matters movement, which she received blessing from the designer
Andy Everson to wear. She was then awarded the title of Miss Congeniality by the season 4 winner
Kitten Kaboodle. == Personal life ==
