Alejandro Silva

Alejandro Silva was born in Utah, USA, on February 1, 2002. He has three siblings and nothing is known about his family on social media. He has kept them away from media to maintain their privacy and his family has been incredibly supportive of his endeavors. He has two cats and a pet dog and loves driving his car. He considers the Musical.ly star, Maci Pope, to be his favorite.

Alejandro Silva joined the Musical.ly app in 2015 and his first video was a cover of the 21 Pilots song ‘Stressed Out’. Already a massive hit, the cover attracted viewers to his channel. Since then he has posted videos covering songs by Justin Beiber, hip-hop artists, and even Nicki Minaj.

He often collaborates with other Musical.ly stars like Maci Pope. Alejandro Silva is also active on Instagram where he enjoys a fan following of more than 60k subscribers.

Although he isn’t as active on YouTube, his channel has been gaining popularity because of his honest videos on criticism against him and his expression of individuality. Some of the most popular videos on his channel include ‘lol im ugly..??? Q&A pt2 with Alejandro Silva’ and ‘the truth.... i actually am..’. The videos expressed his sadness and reaction to online hate. They prompted a positive response from his fans.

Like any other social media star who puts their life before the world, Alejandro has attracted some negativity from internet trolls and even some of his fans. In 2017, Alejandro drew a ‘Nazi swastika’ on his finger while in school and later posted a Musical.ly video without removing it. The video immediately gained negative attention and criticism from fans and many on social media. He removed the video soon and later apologized saying it wasn’t meant to cause any harm and was a joke. On December 12, 2017, he even posted a video on YouTube ‘IM A NATZI’ explaining the background story. Silva explained that it was a girl in his school who saw the video and spread the rumor of him being Nazi to gain attention.

On November 13, 2017, Alejandro posted the video the ‘truth.... i actually am..’. It was a heartfelt reaction to online hate for people going as far as to ask him to kill himself and criticizing for wearing makeup. Questions were raised about his sexual orientation as well. He explained that his choices were his own and that he felt incredibly sad at the hate towards him. He received support from his longtime fans on social media after the incident.
