Alex Holtti Bio

According to Alex Holtti, he has been "addicted" to acting and music since he was a child. He found an outlet for his acting and musical talents through the short video sharing site Vine. His life took an unexpected turn ever since he started to use Vine. His funny video uploads made him a famous social media icon in no time and gained over 3.5 million fans on the platform. He later moved to YouTube to expand his reach to other types of contents. He posts funny reaction videos, challenges and cover songs, among other things, on his YouTube channel named "AlexHoltti". He is also known for his "expectation vs. reality" videos. He created a second YouTube channel, "Alex Holtti Two", to post vlogs and other random videos. On his main YouTube channel, he has over 380,000 million subscribers.

Alex is most famous for his videos with unique blend of humor that he posts on Vine and YouTube. To friends and family, he has been known for his goofy behavior for a long time. He brought that into his videos and loves to make funny expressions. He is also talented in music and his interest in music was probably spurred by his father who is a good musician. He comes from a musically inclined family. His father plays the guitar and the piano, and all his sisters can sing well. After he gained popularity as a social media star, he started to take his passion for acting and music seriously. He himself can sing and has sung cover versions of many popular songs like "Disconnected" by 5 Seconds of Summer and "18" by One Direction. He can also play the guitar and can be seen playing for his younger sister Mathilde's cover songs. He is a fan of Justin Bieber and One Direction.

Despite the fact that Alex rose to fame on the looping video sharing site Vine, his favorite social media platform is YouTube. According to him, it is because of the types of contents he can work with. He says that all the content options Vine offers have already been covered numerous times by a lot of people on the platform. As such, it is next to impossible to create a video on an original idea without anyone commenting that the idea has been copied from some other content already available on Vine. Out of frustration, he decided to move to YouTube, which, he thinks, offers much more flexibility when it comes to topics for his videos. Interestingly, Vine has recently decided to close the platform for good. Considering that Alex has already moved to YouTube, he won't have to suffer much of a loss due to the closure of Vine.

Alexander Tobias Holtti was born on September 1, 1994, in a small town in Denmark. He has two older sisters, Louisa and Emily, and a younger sister Mathilde.
