Birth Place
Dillon was just another teenage boy with great hopes and dreams for his future, when he collaborated with a YouTube channel. He formed a team with other members to entertain millions of fans, until his group fell out and the channel was disbanded in December 2014.

One thing that we love about young ‘Dilly’ is he never hesitates to speak his mind out in public. While talking about his new 12-minute video titled ‘My Sexuality’, Dillon hinted at his ‘sexually inactive’ life by referring to himself as ‘asexual’.

What Makes Him So Special
Ricky has a sensitive side to his personality. He is an active supporter of social causes. In 2016, he switched to veganism and requested his fans to avoid meat and dairy products. He and other young celebrities of his age like Carli Bybel, Harley Quinn Smith and Lohanthony are responsible for motivating their fans to decrease their consumption of animal products.

If we ignore the public fan-bashing episode, where Ricky lashed out on his critics since they criticized his song ‘Ignite’ for monotonous cringe-worthy singing, plus for the confession when he came out in public as ‘asexual’, Ricky maintains a low, non-scandalous public profile.
