Yanyan De Jesus

Background

Yanyan De Jesus started his TikTok account when he was still a teenager, around the time the application started gaining attention for the first time. He ended up gaining massive attention through his endless and overflowing charms on his TikTok account. He is known for sharing his impressive dancing skills and trendy looks, but he continues to broaden his range of content. De Jesus was born on November 23, 2000, in the Philippines, and he is a Sagittarius. He went to Recodo Elementary School in Zamboanga City. He has a massive interest in dancing, which has become the most prominent content on his social media until now.

De Jesus started posting on TikTok in 2016. His first video was of him lip-syncing to the song ‘Don’t Mind’ by Kent Jones, which became popularized through TikTok’s predecessor, Musical.ly. His gestures and video style also highly resembled the popular content creators on Musical.ly. De Jesus posted this style of video for quite some time before transitioning to dance covers and eventually branching out to video skits and snippets of his daily life. For his video skits, he mostly does scenario reenactments, whether it’s imaginary or hilariously relatable content. Throughout the years, the production of these skits has become considerably varied. The scenarios are more imaginative, and we can see De Jesus experimenting with his makeup and outfits to match them. One of his most recent popular videos is a video skit with the caption, “P.O.V.: A psychotic kill3r is on the hunt for his next victim.” To date, it has received more than 25 million views, around four million likes, and more than 23,000 comments. The same goes for his lip-syncing and dancing videos, where he dresses up in stylish clothes to match the theme of the song. As of today, De Jesus has more than 20 million followers on TikTok and a verified account.

He also frequently posts on his Instagram account. He used to frequently post short videos from his dance classes in G-Force, which showed how he had been dancing for a long time. In 2019, TikTok held an event for the TikTok All-Stars Southeast Asia. He was announced to be the winner of the Talent Category. He also won TikTok’s #1million2019comedy award. De Jesus started posting on his YouTube channel the same year. His first video was a vlog with his friends, titled “A DAY WITH ME! Dance? School life? Daming ganap!” and has reached more than 150,000 views and more than 9,000 likes. Though he posts more on his other social media accounts, his YouTube account is verified and has reached more than 300,000 subscribers. This solid social media presence brought De Jesus to sign with Viva Artists Agency in 2020, a talent management agency under Viva Entertainment. In 2021, he attended the TikTok Awards Philippines, where he got the award for Top Talent of the Year. He recently attended Lazada Philippines’s 10th Birthday Event in 2022 as a performer.
