Early Life and Online Beginnings

Jacob was born in Oklahoma but he moved to Virginia shortly after his birth as he was adopted because his biological parents could no longer take care of him. He was raised in Reston, Virginia, and at a young age became very interested in performing. He acted in musicals at the age of seven, but his popularity also attracted bullying. Four years later, he uploaded his first video on the sharing app Vine, on which he talked about bullying, going against it. The message achieved viral status, and he quickly became famous on social media. He continued posting videos on Vine, and as a result gained some popularity on the app. It wasn’t until he created an account on Musical.ly that his online fame really took off. He started posting lip-syncing videos on the app, which quickly increased his followership, and became one of the app’s top users with over 14 million followers. However, this fame came at a cost, as bullying worsened; he later admitted that he had to switch schools three times due to constant bullying from classmates.

With his fame on social media, Sartorius attracted the attention of a few record labels, leading him to sign with T3 Music Group. In mid-2017, he released his debut single entitled “Sweatshirt” which reached 90th spot on the US Billboard Hot 100, and 81st spot on the Canadian Hot 100.

During Valentine’s Day the next year they were featured on their respective Instagram accounts wishing each other well, and were also seen in a photo during her 14th birthday. However, the teenage romance was short-lived, and ended by summer as the two announced their break-up. In an interview, he mentioned that social media was a way for him to escape bullying. He wasn’t the most outgoing person, and videos were a way to help him express himself as it felt like there was no one else that was watching besides the camera.
