Lilly Singh was born in 1988 in Scarborough, a district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Her parents, Sukhwinder and Malwinder Singh, immigrated from Punjab, India. Raised in a Sikh household, Lilly grew up alongside her older sister, Tina Singh, who occasionally appears in her videos.
During her childhood, Lilly described herself as a tomboy. She attended Mary Shadd Public School for her elementary education and graduated from Lester B. Pearson Collegiate Institute in 2006. In 2010, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from York University in Toronto.
While grappling with depression during her university years, Lilly began creating YouTube videos as a form of self-expression and emotional healing. Her creative pursuits eventually led her to relocate to Los Angeles, California, where she expanded her career as a content creator and entertainer.
Lilly Singh launched her YouTube channel, IISuperwomanII, in 2010. The name "Superwoman" was inspired by an S-shaped ring she wore as a child that made her feel empowered. Her content, a blend of comedy, cultural commentary, and personal storytelling, often incorporates elements of Punjabi culture and humor drawn from everyday life experiences.
By 2015, Lilly had gained over 9 million subscribers and accumulated more than a billion total video views, establishing herself as one of the platform’s most successful creators. That same year, Forbes listed her among the highest-paid YouTube stars, with estimated earnings of $3 million. She was also featured in YouTube Rewind for both 2014 and 2015, showcasing her influence in the YouTube community.
Her channel earned her several accolades, including a Streamy Award, an MTV Fandom Award, and two Teen Choice Awards, highlighting her widespread popularity and appeal among youth audiences.
In addition to her YouTube success, Lilly Singh has pursued opportunities in acting and music. She appeared in the Punjabi music video “Hipshaker” by Jassi Sidhu and collaborated musically with her friend Kanwer Singh (a.k.a. Humble the Poet) on the track “Leh.” She also lent her vocals to “Mauj Ki Malharein” and made a cameo in the Bollywood film Gulaab Gang.
Expanding her acting repertoire, Lilly played a role inspired by her YouTube persona in the Indo-Canadian film Dr. Cabbie, and worked as a backup dancer in the films Thank You and Speedy Singhs. She voiced a character named Minicorn in the animated movie Ice Age: Collision Course.
In 2015, Lilly Singh embarked on her world tour titled A Trip to Unicorn Island, combining live performances with personal storytelling. The tour was later turned into a documentary of the same name, further blending her digital content with real-world engagement.
That same year, People magazine listed her among its "Ones to Watch," recognizing her rising prominence in entertainment. As of 2015, her estimated net worth was $2.5 million, reflecting her commercial success across multiple platforms.
