What Makes Alex Holtti So Special

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.

Beyond Fame

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.

Even though Alex is always funny and cheerful, he seemed to have gone through a rough patch of depression in the recent past. He had stopped uploading videos on YouTube for almost a year. After returning, he briefly talked about it in his videos, without giving much detail. However, his girlfriend had even created a fundraiser captioned "Help Alex Holtti" in November 2016.
