Lilly Singh (Superwoman) Biography

Lilly Singh, widely known online as Superwoman or IISuperwomanII, is a Canadian YouTuber, comedian, actress, rapper, author and motivational speaker. Born

Early life and background

Lilly Saini Singh was born on 26 September 1988 in Scarborough, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The daughter of Malwinder and Sukhwinder Singh, she was raised in the Sikh tradition by parents originally from Punjab, India. She grew up in the Toronto area, attending Mary Shadd Public School and Lester B. Pearson Collegiate Institute before going on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from York University.

Career

Singh launched her primary YouTube channel in October 2010 under the name IISuperwomanII, later adding a second channel called SuperwomanVlogs in December 2011 to share daily activities and behind-the-scenes material. Her comedy sketches, vlogs and spoken-word pieces built a substantial following; by the time of the profile, her channel had surpassed 10 million subscribers.

Her online success expanded into other media. She has appeared in Indian and Hollywood productions in a variety of capacities: background dancer roles in Speedy Singhs and Thank You (2011), a small on-screen role inspired by her online persona in the Indo-Canadian film Dr. Cabbie, vocal roles in Ice Age: Collision Course (2016) as the miniature unicorns Bubbles and Misty, and a cameo in Bad Moms. Singh also collaborated musically, appearing alongside Jassi Sidhu on the Punjabi track "Hipshaker" (2013) and contributing a rap on "Mauj Ki Malharein," featured in the Bollywood film Gulaab Gang (2014).

Singh documented her touring life and the effects of internet fame in the feature-length film A Trip to Unicorn Island, which followed her travels to more than 30 cities and was one of the early films on the YouTube Red platform. She expanded her brand with the Unicorn Island app, designed to bring fans closer through meet-and-greets, exclusive posts and updates.

Outside of entertainment, Singh has used her platform for charitable work. In 2016 she partnered with ME to WE to promote the Girl Love Rafiki Bracelet campaign, which raised funds for girls' education in Kenya. The campaign exceeded her original goals by selling over 14,000 bracelets. She has also worked with mainstream beauty brands, releasing a lipstick with Smashbox Cosmetics called BAWSE in May 2016.

Public profile

Singh's online and cross-media achievements brought mainstream recognition. She was listed among Forbes' highest-paid YouTube stars, ranking eighth in a year when her reported earnings were $7.5 million. Fast Company included her among the 100 Most Creative People in Business, and Variety named her one of 10 Comics to Watch for 2016. She received honours at the Just For Laughs Festival and won Teen Choice Awards in July of the same period.

Her popularity has led to meetings and documented encounters with numerous celebrities across film, music and sports, and she has used those moments within her content. The profile also notes that Singh has spoken openly about personal challenges: she has struggled with depression and began making videos in part as a way to cope.

Personal details

Singh's public persona mixes her South Asian heritage with a mainstream North American entertainment career. She is Canadian by nationality and later relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her career more fully. Physical details listed publicly include a height of 165 cm (5'5"), weight around 60 kg (132 lbs), brown eyes and black hair.

Latest updates

By 2016 and 2017, Singh had expanded from digital content into film, music, product collaborations and philanthropy while continuing to maintain active YouTube channels. Her career trajectory during that period showed a widening footprint across entertainment and branded partnerships.
