Career

Creating YouTube channel and rise to popularity (2010–2014)

Singh and fellow YouTuber Kingsley at VidCon 2014

In October 2010, Singh started a YouTube channel under the pseudonym "IISuperwomanII". She has explained that the name Superwoman was prompted by a childhood idea, making her believe she could do anything. Starting out, Singh had intended to go to graduate school as her parents had requested, but chose to make YouTube videos and decided that she would return to graduate school if her YouTube career did not progress.

In December 2011, Singh created a second channel called "SuperwomanVlogs", now titled "Lilly Singh Vlogs", where she chronicles her daily activities and includes behind the scenes footage from her videos. She used it as a second channel to upload videos until August 2014, when she began uploading vlogs. Singh appeared as a background dancer in the movies Speedy Singhs and Thank You in 2011. [28] When Singh acquired 100,000 subscribers in 2012, she applied to YouTube for monetization on her videos. When YouTube accepted, Singh "became more career-minded" and bought her first camera for $699. [29]

In August 2013, Singh was featured alongside Jassi Sidhu in his Punjabi song Hipshaker. Singh rapped in the song Mauj Ki Malharein, which played in the Bollywood drama Gulaab Gang in August 2014. [30] In July of the same year, she released a song titled #LEH in a collaboration with her friend, author and rapper Kanwer Singh, who is known by the pseudonym " Humble the Poet". [31] In 2014, Singh appeared in a small role in the Canadian production Dr. Cabbie.

In 2014, her channel ranked at #39 on New Media Rockstars Top 100 Channels. [32] The same year, she was nominated for a Shorty Award and a Streamy Award.

World tour, move to Los Angeles, and documentary (2015–2016)

She recorded and released another music video in February 2015 titled The Clean Up Anthem in collaboration with Canadian artist Sickick. [33]

The movie was released on February 10, 2016, on YouTube Red (now called YouTube Premium). [35] She describes the film as being very "raw and genuine". [36]

[37] In September 2015, People magazine included Singh on their annual "Ones to Watch" list. [38] Lilly received her first MTV Fandom Award, was nominated for two Teen Choice Awards, and won her first Streamy Award later that year.

In December 2015, she moved to Los Angeles to further her career. [39]

In October 2016, she ranked 8th on Forbes' list of World's Top-Earning YouTube Stars of 2015. [40] She was also featured in Fast Company Magazine as the 100 Most Creative People in Business. [41] Variety magazine recognized her as one of their 10 Comics to Watch for 2016, and she was honored at the Just For Laughs Film Festival in Montreal. In July 2016, she won two Teen Choice Awards from her three nominations.
