Background

Larray was born Larri Merritt in Los Angeles, California, U.S. Although there is barely any information on his early life and family, we know that he has 13 siblings. He is also close with his mother and often tweets about her. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his family.

Larray began his internet journey with Vine — the six-second video app. His videos became an instant hit among Viners and Larray became a viral sensation. When the platform shut down in 2016, the artist smoothly redirected his online career to YouTube and created his channel titled “LARRAY.” On this platform, he began uploading daily vlogs, comedy videos, as well as gaming videos. Then, he also became a part of the collaborative YouTube channel called “2BusyOnline.” His videos are quite diverse, with videos like “Fighting TikTokers,” “Calling Churches and Coming Out to Them,” and “We Stayed Overnight at a Haunted House.” Moreover, it is common for his YouTube videos to feature a myriad of social media stars, such as James Charles and Bretman Rock.

The YouTuber also dipped his toe into music with a number of songs. One of his most popular tracks is his 2020 release titled ‘Canceled.’ In this track, he disses a bunch of TikTokers and YouTubers who have been “canceled” on the internet. He also has a massive fanbase on TikTok, wherein he posts viral trends and collaborations with fellow creators. In 2020, he became a member of the TikTok collective The Hype House, along with Nikita Dragun, Thomas Petrou, and Chase Hudson, among others.
