Mini bio
How it started.
Before streaming became a career, Rae worked jobs including banking, car washing and GameStop while attending community college part-time. A small gaming Instagram page brought encouragement from followers to try Twitch. Rae began streaming in 2015 and eventually earned enough to make it a full-time job.
Finding a wider audience.
Fortnite helped Rae break through in 2018, the year Rae joined 100 Thieves as its first female content creator. After moving to YouTube in 2020, Among Us sessions with fellow creators introduced Rae to a much larger audience. The Game Awards named Rae Content Creator of the Year that December.
Building beyond the stream.
Rae became a 100 Thieves co-owner in 2021 and founded Hihi Studios in 2024. Today, fans can follow multiplayer streams, conversations with QTCinderella on Wine About It, and Touching Grass outings. Hihi’s projects include the webtoon Bad Influence and the manga Apollyon, for which Rae shares story credit with Brandon Chen.
