His videos have gained worldwide attention, and even caught the eye of celebrities like Beyonce and Ariana Grande. It’s not hard to see why either.
He regularly performs mash-ups of songs from different popstars, where he shows off his amazing singing and dancing skills.
His fame lead to him getting his own docu-series on MTV, and he was even invited on to RuPaul’s Drag Race as a guest judge during the last season.
Opening up about his social media fame, Todrick told Attitude that he’s grateful to be able to be a positive role model for LGBT+ youth.
He explained: “It’s amazing we have YouTube, because growing up I had an image of what being gay was, of what those people were like, or how they dressed, or what diseases they might have, or that they might be paedophiles.”
