This era in Internet history probably comes up fairly often for Levan. For the singer, actress and model who will be seen this October in the role of Usherette for Fox’s remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it all comes back to Myspace, where Levan met friend and future Rocky Horror co-star Adam Lambert.
“Years ago we were stalking each other over Myspace and were obsessed with each other and we would send messages back and forth,” says Levan of her then-blossoming friendship with Lambert. “We would post our demos and obsess over them, like ‘Oh girl, that shit was fire!’ Then he moved out here to LA and was on [American] Idol and we finally got meet and you know, the rest is history.”
Fast forward to 2016, when Lambert was cast as Eddie in the Fox rendition of Rocky Horror, and he then recommended his longtime friend for the role of Usherette. It couldn’t have been a more perfect match – the Rocky Horror aesthetic bears an uncanny resemblance to Levan’s own body of work as a singer, actress and model. The campy vamp’s 2015 single Biscuit looks and sounds as though it could have been ripped from a 21st century sequel to Rocky Horror; it’s dark, sexy and hilarious.
