Social-Media Fame

Signa Mae, like any average kid of her age, grew up watching videos online. This eventually helped her develop an interest in social media. She began her social-media career at the tender age of 12, when she created her ‘TikTok’ account. She soon gained a huge fan base with her lip-sync videos. She currently has 5.4 million followers and over 800 million likes on the platform.

When Signa Mae had plunged into ‘TikTok,’ she had no particular goal in mind. However, she thinks it helped her become more extroverted. She is now a verified and “crowned muser.” Her clips are inspirational and help teenagers deal with difficult situations, such as the death of a loved one or being bullied. Since Signa herself went through a similar situation after her brother’s death, she wishes to spread positivity through her social-media content and help others deal with similar issues.

She ventured into ‘YouTube’ in 2015 but relaunched her channel in 2017. By the summer of 2017, she had only one video on the channel, titled ‘Calling the real Jacob.’ The video earned her more than 30 thousand views in just 20 hours.
