Along with his friends Brendan Cox and Faiz Imran, he founded the entrepreneurial media company Business Blurb.
Early Life
Devin Caherly studied at Westfield High School, from where he graduated in 2019. However, he struggled with education his entire life and feels that the education system needs to be reformed. Being dyslexic, he was also made fun of in school. He played soccer in school and was part of his school team. He later enrolled at the University of Arizona as an entrepreneurship major.
Career
Devin Caherly had been influenced by social media personalities like Jake Paul making it big in Hollywood and always wanted to become a social media star himself. He made his first YouTube video when he was in the seventh grade, although the video is no longer available. He later formally started his social media journey by joining TikTok in the summer of 2019 because he realized that it was going to be “the next big thing”. He gained popularity in May 2020 for his video about a wedding meme that went viral. He continued to film TikTok videos from his college dorm room after joining college and is particularly fond of a challenge video he did with his roommate which involved getting smacked in the head for wrong answers. He often collaborated with fellow TikTok star Tatayanna Mitchell, whom he finally met in person in July 2020. In December that year, he generated over a million views on a video where he stated the name Charli D'Amelio 100,000 times.
While he joined YouTube back in August 2014, his first upload on the channel was Speaking a Made Up Language Prank in September 2019. He also made videos with Tatayanna, affectionately calling her “Tati”, which prompted some fans to ship them as “Tevin”. He later started making challenge videos, but has not been very active on the platform. However, he has a separate channel called Devin Caherly Shorts where he has gained millions of fans by re-uploading his TikTok videos. Also a gamer, he used to compete in serious Call of Duty tournaments in middle school, which even earned him money on the side. He later utilized this entrepreneurial mindset to launch the media company Business Blurb with his friends Brendan Cox and Faiz Imran. Through the company, he sells merchandise including tank tops, T-shirts, hoodies, face masks, phone cases, and hats.
Family Life
Devin Patrick Caherly has a brother named Jack and a sister named Tess. He is of Irish descent. His middle name is because he was born on St. Patrick’s Day. Although many fans suspect that he and Tatayanna Mitchell might be an item, they have not made any official comments except for making funny videos.
