Meet Manuel, the new Pit Crew stud on 'Drag Race All Stars 10'

Hey, new Pit Crew!

The double premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 started with a bang: Not only is the competition heating up in bracket 1, but fans also got to meet a brand-new Pit Crew member appearing on the show.

The man appearing between Bryce Eilenberg and Bruno Alcantara in episode 2 of All Stars 10 is called Manuel. The actor, model, and musician — who has a different stage name for music — is from Argentina, but lives in Australia.

So, without further ado, scroll through to learn more about the latest addition to the Drag Race Pit Crew!

The newest Pit Crew member is also known as Manúk.

Manuel is an actor, model, and musician. However, he has a different stage name for his music career: Manúk.

Here are the basics about Manuel.

Manuel was born in Argentina and eventually moved to Australia, as noted in an interview with DA MAN.

The publication also highlighted that Manuel "garnered significant attention" for starring as Hunter Rodriguez in the 2023 film The Winner Takes It All.

He was born in a city called Santa Rosa.

"I come from a small city called Santa Rosa," Manuel told DA MAN in an interview from January 2025. "For a long time, I felt like something was missing and that I didn't quite fit in. There was this internal struggle within me that drove me to explore new places. I believe that many people go through similar experiences at least once in their lives. I spent the first few years after high school in Argentina, but eventually, I decided I wanted to move somewhere completely different."

Santa Rosa, located in the central area of Argentina, is the capital of the La Pampa province, as noted on the Britannica. The 2010 census reports an estimated population of 102,000 people in the city.

Manúk is very popular on Spotify!

Manúk — Manuel's stage name in music — currently has 21,000 monthly listeners and 1,800 followers on Spotify. Most of his listeners on the music streaming platform come from Australia and Brazil.

"Manúk is a visionary Argentinian artist based in Sydney, drawing inspiration from personal changes and emotions while infusing his music with what feels authentic to him," Manúk's bio on Spotify reads. "His sound seamlessly blends smooth R&B rhythms with a Latin spice, pushing the boundaries of the pop genre. With a unique style and vibrant performances, Manúk is making waves in the music scene."

The most popular songs by Manúk.

Though he's been releasing music since 2020, the latest Pit Crew member has yet to drop an album or EP. His most popular songs include "Overstimulated," "Follow Me," "Hawái," and "Love Letters."

In the aforementioned DA MAN interview, Manuel explained that "Overstimulated" is about "falling in love and jumping into something super scary, like how it is when you give yourself to a new person."

Manuel also has music videos on YouTube.

Manúk's official YouTube channel has 1,080 subscribers as of this writing. The musician, actor, model, and now Pit Crew member released a music video for "No Brainer" two weeks ago, on April 26.

Manuel's acting credits.

So far, Manuel only has two credits on IMDb: 2023's The Winner Takes It All and 2024's Perfect Boy Next Door.

Both of those credits have Manuel listed as an actor.

Here's where to follow Manuel on social media.
