Early life.
Joana Campos Ceddia was born on June 21, 2001 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Denilce Campos, a former professional gymnast, who represented Brazil at the 1980 and 1982 South American Artistic Gymnastics Championships, winning gold in team all-around both times, and Rolando Ceddia, who is currently an associate professor at the School of Kinesiology & Health Science at York University. Ceddia currently resides in Toronto, where she studied physics and astronomy.
Career.
Ceddia has participated in competitive school swimming and is an OFSAA gold medalist. After suffering an injury that prevented her from pursuing a career in competitive running, she created her YouTube channel in 2018, initially uploading videos of her creating artwork. She then received recognition for her video where she attempts to cut her own hair with craft scissors, which as of April 2021, has gained over 13 million views.
Ceddia has since become an internet sensation, gaining nearly two million subscribers in the space of a few months. She had been faced with controversy in 2018, being accused on platforms such as Reddit of buying her subscribers due to the abnormal rate of growth she had been receiving on her channel, although it has been disproven statistically.
Her most notable content includes recreating popular artworks, making vlogs and jokingly "transforming" herself into popular characters and public figures by manually creating costumes. For her work, she was a finalist for the "Best YouTube Comedian" category at the Shorty Awards in 2018, and was nominated for the "Breakout Creator" category at the 2019 Streamy Awards. As of July 2020, her YouTube channel has accumulated 3.26 million subscribers and 268,494,561 views from her videos collectively.
