I founded and am CEO at Mediababy – a leader in Generation Z media.
My life began in Vancouver, Canada where I learned a sense of the lively media production environment at a young age. Before high school, I saved up for a Macbook to use its iMovie software, and spent countless hours editing short skits and films with my younger brother.
COVID-19 hit, so I spent hundreds of hours playing my favorite video game at the time — Hypixel. At 13, I began recording gameplay and officially became a Minecraft YouTuber. From 2020 onwards, I experienced sudden success and gained thousands of monthly subscribers. During this time, I also developed an interest in business. I used my income to build and acquire small short-form social media brands across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, alongside some of the internet's most underrated young creators.
With the belief that teenagers could dominate social media at a global scale, I formally incorporated this all into a holding company in 2023. To monetize, we began advertising for companies ranging from family businesses to Fortune 500 listers. We've now reached hundreds of millions of people, and are a team of dozens across North America, South Asia, and Africa.
This year, Mediababy has started or made acquisitions of various media properties that cater to young people. For example, Recordcore, a record label. Have my own Marvel character!
I recently earned a full-tuition scholarship to study entrepreneurship at Babson College in Boston, U.S.A., where I plan to continue Mediababy.
