Issa Christopher Tweimeh

This Social Media Personality who has a decent presence in different social media platforms and especially shot to fame through videos he uploads in Vine and YouTube was just another teenager a few years back with a dream to do something big in life. His breakthrough came three years ago during the 4th annual multi-genre online video conference Vidcon that was held from August 1 to August 3, 2013, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Southern California. He waited in queue for around four hours just to meet his favourite and immensely popular American YouTuber as well as actor, film director, songwriter, singer and sketch comedian Shane Dawson and gift him a drawing of the latter’s adorable dog. Dawson on the other hand raved about this teenager on social media that inspired Twaimz to delve into the world of social media himself. This is how his inception into this new world took place that saw the rise of a new budding YouTube and Vine Star who as of today has succeeded in cementing his position as one of the most sensational Vine Stars with over 3.5 million Vine followers.

He makes video monologues that are mostly humorous and musical usually associated with subjects like sexual identity, self-respect and admiration and pop culture. He vlogs regarding the people he is crushing on, or about loving oneself first and then loving someone else and stuffs like that. His videos are quite a craze among his fan base that is evident from more than 2.5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and a whopping 70 million views till October 2016. He has earned a name for displaying a smart-alecky sense of humour as well as for his candidness with regard to his life and sexuality. Through his videos he speaks about his life in the manner of a freewheeling commentary in a way that one shares with their best buddy. This approach of Twaimz definitely appeals to his umpteen fans and viewers who kind of create a bond with the Vine Star which in the long run is the key to hold and augment one’s popularity among fans and viewers. His video ‘The Crush Song’ has garnered around 3 million viewers.
