Gabriellannalisa, aka Gabriella Annalisa, is an American social media influencer who rose to fame on her TikTok profile for her relatable content, dance and lip-sync videos, and comedy skits. She is also known for sharing fashion pictures on her Instagram profile. After gaining an online fan base, started the Always By Your Side podcast on her eponymous YouTube channel to host inspiring talks.
Early Life
Gabriellannalisa studied at Council Rock High School South. She attended a community college and wanted to be an art teacher. Interestingly, after she gained popularity on social media, her father advised her to take a semester off as it was not wise to focus on two things at once. She eventually realized that she was not going back to college and decided to drop out.
Career
Since she was a child, Gabriellannalisa had big dreams of growing a successful YouTube channel. However, she started social media the day she graduated from school because earlier she was worried about her classmates making fun of her. While she had her YouTube channel since August 2011, she stumbled upon TikTok in 2019 when it was all the rage among people her age and decided to give it a try. She was initially confused about the content on the platform and tried posting random videos covering everything to see what stuck. Thankfully, the gamble paid off as her videos about relatable issues like relationships were very popular.
One of her earliest viral videos was about Minecraft. She had her Instagram profile since 2015 and had it linked to her TikTok, which resulted in her getting a lot of comments on her Instagram as well. She soon shifted towards comedy videos and then to lifestyle videos, and after gaining over 100k followers on TikTok, started uploading regular videos on her YouTube channel every day for three months when she was in college. After dropping out of college, she moved across the country from Pennsylvania to Nevada at the age of 19 to be a part of the new content house, Society Las Vegas, which opened in February 2021 and also housed fellow content creators like Cole and Jordan Beckham, Kayla Patterson and Hannah Evana. She revealed in an interview that apart from posting on her own social media, she was also required to produce regular videos and photos on behalf of the content house.
After she noticed her YouTube channel growing, she decided to realize her original goal of becoming a YouTuber and also determined to utilize her position to leave a positive impact on her followers. In order to inspire her audience, she started the Always By Your Side podcast on her YouTube channel to talk about tough trials of her life.
Family Life
Gabriellannalisa featured her parents on the YouTube video, vlog: I flew home to surprise my mom, in June 2021. In November 2023, she revealed her engagement to her boyfriend, who goes by KB, following a whirlwind romance. She previously dated fellow TikToker Dennis Carroll.
