Timothy DeLaGhetto Facts
- Tim claims that his head is so rounded in shape because his birth happened via a C-section.
- In Paramount High school, Tim was the lone Asian among a majority of Mexican students. Confused about his ethnicity, most people addressed him as ‘Chino.’
- As a child, he was immensely influenced by Will Smith’s career trajectory to initiate his career with rapping to get a job on TV shows that eventually lead to a break in the movies. Tim called this plan – The Fresh Prince format.
- After high school, his first job alongside college was working at Footlocker. After which, he briefly worked at California Pizza Kitchen.
- Tim started rapping in Junior High and formed a rap group called BAS (Black, Asian, and Samoan) with his close friends.
- While still in school, he also took a drama class where he bonded with fellow YouTubers-to-be Eric (Supereeego) and Peter (PeedeeFlo).
- His parents never had much money when Tim was growing up. Hence, he was allowed only one new pair of shoes as a kid. He explains that is probably one of the reasons why he spends a lot of money on shoes and clothes now that he can afford them and often buys stuff that he does not even use.
- Tim’s biggest source of motivation is when somebody tells him that they were feeling down but their mood improved after seeing one of his YouTube videos.
- In 2014, he sold his stock in Maker Studios and made a lot of money. A certain part of it, he used to pay off his parent’s $210,000 mortgage. He vlogged the surprise on his YouTube channel.
- His advice for success is to stay authentic and consistent. He says people give up too soon. It takes a long-term grind amid criticism and rejection to make it big and particularly on YouTube, the audience instantly rejects lack of originality.
