JianHao Tan (Chinese: 陈建豪; pinyin: Chén Jiànháo; born 14 June 1993) is a Singaporean YouTuber and the chief executive officer of Titan Digital Media. As of 25 November 2021, he has more than five million subscribers on YouTube[2] and close to 650,000 followers on Instagram.[3]
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.[4] 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.[5][6] 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.[7] He was mentored by Ryan Tan of Night Owl Cinematics sometime in 2014, and had more than 250,000 YouTube subscribers by December 2014.[8]

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.[8][5] In 2015, he was listed under the United States business magazine Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list.[9]
In 2018, Tan rebranded The JianHao Tan production studio into Titan Digital Media.[10][11] 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.[12]
In 2019, Tan's wedding proposal video was YouTube's most watched creator video in Singapore.[13] 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.[4]
In 2020, Tan was deemed as the country's most popular YouTuber from the listicle videos he has been producing since the beginning of his channel.[5]
As of 10 July 2022, Tan had around 5.56 million YouTube subscribers.[14]
Personal life
Tan married Debbie Soon Rui Yi on 21 May 2019, after a three-year relationship.[1][15] They have a daughter named Starley, who was born on 19 September 2019.[16]
Tan created The JianHao Tan Foundation in 2015. By 2019, the foundation had donated over $5,000 worth of food and toys to Thuy An Village, Vietnam.[15]
