Early life and education

Tan was born on 14 June 1993 in Singapore. At 8 years old, his father was posted to Cambodia by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Tan moved there with his family.[5] He then moved to Hanoi, Vietnam and studied in United Nations International School of Hanoi until he graduated high school in 2011.[citation needed]

Career

Tan started his YouTube channel in 2010, as a hobby.[6][7] He then served his two years of National Service from when he was 18. Thereafter, Tan decided to make YouTube his full time career instead of pursuing further education in a university.[8] He was mentored by Ryan Tan of Night Owl Cinematics sometime in 2014, and had more than 250,000 YouTube subscribers by December 2014.[9]

A S$15,000 job to promote an application in his channel in 2014 allowed him to make his first hire, and then subsequently founded The JianHao Tan Co, a production studio.[9][6] In 2015, he was listed under the United States business magazine Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list.[10]

In 2018, Tan rebranded The JianHao Tan production studio into Titan Digital Media.[11][12] Tan started the T1T5 web series, a precursor to the Titan Academy, a series of short comedic situational skits and roleplaying videos, in collaboration with other multiple YouTube personalities.[citation needed] Additionally, he started co-hosting the Playtime TV YouTube channel with a seven-year-old Cindy, targeting the children audience.[13]

In 2019, Tan's wedding proposal video was YouTube's most watched creator's video in Singapore.[14] In the same year, Tan launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund S$500,000 for a future movie set in the Titan Academy universe. The campaign received negative feedback from the public as it was deemed as targeting a non-financially independent target audience. Tan terminated the campaign and stated that the movie would be funded by himself.[5]

As of 10 July 2022, Tan had around 5.56 million YouTube subscribers.[15]

Personal life

Tan married Debbie Soon Rui Yi on 21 May 2019, after a three-year relationship.[1][16] They have a daughter named Starley, who was born on 19 September 2019.[17]
