He’s been heating up the content creator scene for over 5 years, becoming one of the first LGBTQ+ creators on TikTok to go viral, for a video featuring his mom reacting to explicit lyrics on a gay lip-sync video. From travel vlogs and meme videos to street interviews and heartfelt life sharing, he’s amassed well over 300 million views on his content, garnering the attention of Madonna herself.
