Zach Clayton

Background

Zach Reed Clayton, better known as social media star Zach Clayton, is the son of Apryll Clayton. From a very young age, he showed himself to have an innate talent at sports: At 3 years old, and between goal and goal, he earned a reputation in soccer. His talent was such that he became the star of the soccer team of his school, as well as a shining talent to the soccer sports club “Lonestar.”

But despite having a talent for this sport, fate knocked on his door, and Clayton began to navigate the world of social media. It was there that he managed to build a perception of who he would be on social media and of what he could become, and with that in mind, his ambition changed completely: He no longer wanted to be a professional player but a sensation on the Internet.

In 2014, he decided to venture into the YouNow platform and created a profile so he could talk to his friends, however, while doing so he saw the potential of the platform and decided to broadcast videos to a broader audience.

This is how “BruhitsZach” was born, the digital channel where content such as cooking recipes, jokes between friends, and trending challenges was published. The channel was so popular that its fame spread to other platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. However, Clayton did not want to settle for that, so he decided to explore other fields and ventured into the world of music. Accompanied by other YouNow creators such as Nick Bean, Edwin Burgos, Rudan Custodio, and Silas Van, Clayton created 5quad, a band with whom he embarked on a tour.

The success of the band and each member was promoted significantly, so much so that by 2016, Clayton’s channel was one of the most-watched globally, and this figure continues to rise not only on the YouNow platform but also on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Very little is known about his personal life, for 2016 he went out with Baby Ariel and in 2017 with Daniella Perkins, two influencers with whom he had a beautiful but short relationship. Clayton is currently focused on his personal and professional growth.
