Career

YouTube

[edit]

Velasquez began creating and uploading videos in 2008, initially gaining attention through short comedic videos on YouTube and Vine. He later pursued vlogging more seriously and,[7] in 2015, formed Team Payaman with his friends as they began creating content together. What started as a hobby eventually became a source of income and helped expand the careers of Velasquez and his fellow creators. The group later lived and produced content at Payamansion, a shared house where Team Payaman members stayed and created videos.[8] Velasquez also diversified into video game livestreaming, covering titles such as PUBG: Battlegrounds, PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Valorant.[9][10][11] He has been signed with Tier One Entertainment since 2018.[12][13]

On May 27, 2022, his YouTube channel reached 10 million subscribers.[7] On September 25, 2024, Velasquez collaborated with American streamer IShowSpeed during his third Philippine stream, part of his Southeast Asia tour.[14]

In July 2026, Velasquez won Best Comedy Show (Long-Form or Short-Form) and received the FAMAS Broadcast Arts Breakthrough Award.[15][16]

Other ventures

[edit]

Velasquez appeared on the 2016 ABS-CBN drama series My Super D and is the vocalist and co-lead guitarist of the metal band Coln, which he founded in September 2018.[17]

Personal life

[edit]

Velasquez has three siblings: Venice, Marlon Jr. (Junnie Boy), and Patricia. Marlon Jr. and Patricia are YouTubers, each with more than one million subscribers.[18][19]

In December 2020, Velasquez and his partner, vlogger Viy Cortez, suffered a pregnancy loss.[20] They later announced another pregnancy, and on July 5, 2022, their son Zeus Emmanuel "Kidlat" Velasquez was born.[21][22] They married on June 17, 2024, at L'Annunziata Parish Church in Muntinlupa, with internet personalities including Alodia Gosiengfiao attending.[23] Their second child, Tokyo Athena, was born a year later.[24]
