Believe it or not, it has been almost 4 years since the pandemic, and many of us were impacted by the economic downturn that followed. While some Singaporeans struggled with job hunting after getting laid off, there were a handful of us who managed to find a silver lining during difficult times. 

Among them is DJ Sakura, who found herself forced to put her career on hold after learning that she wouldn’t be able to perform in clubs and events. However, her job loss turned out to be a blessing in disguise because she later gained recognition by creating an OnlyFans account. Find out how she went against all odds to become the successful DJ and content creator she is today.   

Going against her family and working as a DJ

Despite having been a DJ for six years, DJ Sakura admitted becoming a DJ was never her aspiration during her younger years. She had little knowledge of nightlife, including clubbing and partying, until she turned 18. 

“I was scouted by a female DJ agency and they thought I was suitable to give DJ-ing a try,” DJ Sakura shared. “I was open to the idea of trying something new, and DJ-ing sounded like fun.”

She signed a two-year contract and told herself that she could always pursue a different path in case the DJ route didn’t work out. Since she was young, she was motivated to put herself out there and explore various career options. 

Fortunately, she enjoyed her job so much that she later extended her contract with the agency. 

“The agency provided me with DJ-ing classes, and they were also able to help me source for gigs,” DJ Sakura explained. 

Despite her burgeoning career as a DJ, her mother never liked or approved of her line of work. 

“She always wanted me to commit to a traditional and stable 9-to-6 job,” DJ Sakura said. “I don’t think she was ever 100% supportive of what I did.”

Given the differing mindsets between DJ Sakura and her mother, it was challenging to convince her mother that DJ-ing is a respectable job. However, witnessing how DJ Sakura was able to bring home the bacon, her mother eventually decided to let it go. 

Nevertheless, it still doesn’t mean that her mother fully accepts her career. 

Starting an OnlyFans account during the pandemic

DJ Sakura’s career hit a rough patch when the pandemic peaked in 2020. With clubs closed and large gatherings forbidden, DJ Sakura faced an abrupt dip in income. She was unable to perform during the lockdown, leading to financial instability. 

“I wasn’t the only one who was affected, many in the same industry completely lost their jobs,” DJ Sakura commented. 

Uncertain about when the nightlife scene would return to normal, DJ Sakura knew she had to explore other avenues to make ends meet. After weighing her options, she decided to open an OnlyFans account in the second year of the pandemic. 

“I had friends who were on OnlyFans, and they told me to create an account,” DJ Sakura shared. “I didn’t have any negative impressions about the platform because I was already part of Ko-Fi, another similar social media where I receive money from donors.”

Additionally, DJ Sakura was a seasoned cosplayer accustomed to doing risque photoshoots. She decided that creating an OnlyFans account could serve as a temporary financial aid, and there was no harm in trying it out. 

“I gathered a team to help me out with photoshoots, and we drew inspiration by browsing photoshoots done by other creators,” DJ Sakura mentioned. 

Interestingly, one of her team members was Chanel Yui, who has been friends with her for a long time. DJ Sakura was also the one who later convinced Chanel to kickstart her own OnlyFans account. 

With DJ Sakura’s shift in online presence, many of her fans who knew her since she became a DJ were “concerned” and even asked if she was alright. 

“I actually had to explain to them that I was doing fine, and I found it sweet that people cared about me,” DJ Sakura said.

Making friends with other creators and building her career 

Networking is hella important, no matter what industry you are in. By connecting with fellow OnlyFans creators, DJ Sakura began to build a bigger presence on the platform. Her efforts eventually paid off as she was later invited to attend an adults-only cosplaying event called Costica Singapore, where she gained even more followers. 

“I am currently working without an agency, so I need to rely on connections to secure gigs and DJ-ing opportunities,” DJ Sakura shared.

As a cherry on top, these creators also became close friends of hers since they could relate to the ups and downs of being OnlyFans creators. Thanks to them, DJ Sakura was also able to receive many work opportunities. 

“I’m the kind of person who prefers to work harmoniously with other creators instead of seeing them as competition,” DJ Sakura said. 

This is evident on DJ Sakura’s social media, as many of her posts feature collaborations with other creators. She even mentioned that she looks up to Malaysian OnlyFans creator MsPuiyi, and hopes to work with her one day.  

Addressing stereotypes and challenges faced  

However, DJ Sakura’s newfound success as an OnlyFans creator while taking on DJ gigs came with a price to pay ‒ her health. 

“There were many instances when I worked continuously for a week before getting a chance to rest,” DJ Sakura explained. 

To elaborate, DJ Sakura’s irregular working hours also meant sacrificing her social life and alone time. Prioritising work over rest, she hopes to earn as much money as possible while she is young. 

“There will be a time in life when I eventually step down from the DJ industry, and before that, I want to “hustle” as much as I can,” DJ Sakura revealed. 

She hopes that by sharing more about her work, she will be able to address some of the common stereotypes people have about DJs and OnlyFans creators. For example, she disagrees with the notion that you only need to be “pretty” to become a DJ. 

“It is important to have proper DJ-ing skills, and I know many colleagues who actually work hard to constantly improve their skills, such as music production,” DJ Sakura commented. 

Adding on, she shares that a lot of effort happens behind the scenes, and DJs don’t just work at night. The same goes for OnlyFans creators.  

“Some people think we only need to pose in a sexy manner,” DJ Sakura pointed out. 

Instead, detailed planning is required for every photoshoot, and it takes a long time for a crew to come up with a concept. Since DJ Sakura also weighs quality over quantity, she wishes that more people would understand that being an OnlyFans creator doesn’t mean “easy” money. 

Future plans and advice to those interested in becoming a DJ

Embracing her roles as a DJ, an OnlyFans creator, and a cosplayer, DJ Sakura finds joy in every opportunity she has, and plans to continue taking on three jobs. When asked about her future goals and plans, DJ Sakura intends to put up her own mixes on the internet, and plans to play on more stages next year. 

As parting advice to those who are keen on joining the DJ-ing industry, she recommends “starting with learning from other DJs and enrolling in DJ schools to gain enough knowledge before fully committing to the job.” 

DJ Sakura’s Story Shows That It Is Possible To Rise Up Against All Odds

Instead of judging a person’s career choice, it is always better to understand where they are coming from. DJ Sakura’s story shows that she is a resilient person, and despite life’s hurdles, she is capable of turning them into stepping stones to further her career.

These Female OnlyFans Creators In Singapore Show That They Are More Than Their NSFW Content

While OnlyFans is largely perceived as a pornographic platform, it is actually also a place for creators to express their individuality and sexuality in a positive manner. 

These female creators show that they are brave individuals who are willing to step out of their comfort zone and express themselves. Instead of judging them, the best support we can show besides subscribing is to respect their decisions.

I Became An OnlyFans Creator After Working As A Teacher For 8 Years & It Improved My Mental Health

The post 15 Female OnlyFans Creators In Singapore: Subscription Prices, Content Info & Other Personal Hobbies appeared first on ZULA.sg.

Besides our parents, the next most important adults in our lives are undoubtedly our teachers. If you think about it, teachers pretty much raised you too — from when you were squirming at playgrounds in kindergarten to finally tossing your motorboard in the air after graduating university. 

For Chanel Yui, being a teacher was her dream career, which she fulfilled after she graduated from university and became a secondary school teacher. However, eight years later, things took a turn and she found herself in a drastic, and some might say, taboo career switch — becoming an OnlyFans creator. 

Here’s what her journey was like and the ups and downs along the way.

Growing up with dreams of becoming a teacher

Chanel with her students when she was a teacher

Growing up, Chanel described herself to have come from a “broken and low-income family”. She didn’t receive much support at home, so she turned to her teachers a lot in school. 

“When a child comes from a broken family, they’re always on the lookout for an adult to rely on. Luckily, I had so many teachers throughout my life that helped me and were very important to my growth. I felt like I wanted to repay this feeling by helping other kids too.”

After graduating from JC, Chanel went on to apply for multiple scholarships to fund her university education. Almost as if it was fate, MOE accepted her with a scholarship to teach art. Thus, Chanel did her degree at NTU’s School of Art, Design and Media, then completed her Postgraduate Diploma in Education at NIE.

Working as a teacher for 8 years

Then came the usually-dreaded adulting — which Chanel welcomed positively. She began working full time in different schools under MOE, teaching two subjects in secondary schools: art and maths. 

When asked if she had any subject preferences, Chanel shared, “I definitely preferred art. Maths is a bit boring, and even my kids can tell that I’m very different in both classes.” 

Being around the students reaffirmed Chanel’s passion for teaching — she loved being around them and watching them grow throughout the years. 

But of course, there’s no such thing as a perfect job. 

“I always tell people this — there are two types of people when you go into teaching: adults and kids. The kids are the fun part. The adults? Not so much.”

Things started to take a turn for Chanel when she realised she was trapped in a toxic work environment. One day, she showed up to school wearing a knee-length black dress complete with long sleeves — “from ASOS some more”, Chanel helpfully supplied. 

To her surprise, she was called into the office for her “inappropriate dress code”, as the imprint of her bra straps could be seen beneath her dress. 

She was also wearing pink eyeshadow at the time, which was considered “too much”. The higher ups questioned her by asking, “do you think you’re going to a party?” 

Chanel silently fumed — “then should I just not wear a bra?”. But she also wasn’t much of a confrontational person either. So she just threw on a cardigan and went about her day at work as per usual. 

Chanel with her colleagues

That was only the beginning of the complaints. Throughout her journey as a teacher, Chanel often got many “anon” complaints and struggled to enjoy teaching as much as she used to. “I knew it was from the colleagues around me lah, I just didn’t push on to find out who exactly”, she quipped when we asked.

Going out with her friends to enjoy a drink? Reported. Attending a concert by her favourite artist? Called down to the office again. At this point, Chanel felt like she couldn’t have a life outside of work without someone else breathing down her neck. 

“The whole culture surrounding my workplace boiled down to employees going against each other to influence our grades and bonuses. You kind of have to be ‘better than the rest’ to get a bigger bonus. So it encourages a toxic environment where people backstabbed or brought others down to look better.” 

Chanel was lucky that she wasn’t placed in this environment right from the start of her career, but as she went on to experience different schools and different cultures, she soon discovered the nasty sides of her colleagues. 

Things only became worse when her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. 

Becoming the sole breadwinner of the family

Chanel and her mother

Chanel and her mother were the only ones contributing to their family income, so when her mother fell ill, Chanel became the sole breadwinner of the family. 

Her mother’s lung cancer progressed to a terminal stage extremely quickly, and before Chanel knew it, the cancer had spread to her brain, resulting in cognitive difficulties. Her mother couldn’t buy food on her own, and if she went out to get groceries, she would get lost outside. This became an extremely difficult period for Chanel to bear. 

“I had zero free time. In between my lesson breaks at school, I would have to rush home to take care of my mother. And I didn’t own a car either, so going to and fro via public transport made this process extra slow.” 

With the accumulated stress of both work and her personal life, Chanel was at her limit. Thoughts about quitting her job soon crossed her mind. But she knew she couldn’t give up her stable income when her siblings needed her the most. 

Chanel felt herself going into depression and asked for some time off, but the school wouldn’t allow it — despite her mother steadily deteriorating as well. To make matters worse, Chanel was called into the office yet again for another “inappropriate post” on her social media. You could say Murphy’s Law truly applied when she was at her lowest.

Tears and anger were commonplace for Chanel. Desperate to seek help, Chanel visited IMH and was diagnosed with clinical depression. With proof that she was unfit for work, Chanel could finally take some time off to be with her mother.

Around three months later, Chanel spent the last few moments with her mother before she eventually passed away.

Switching to OnlyFans

At her mother’s funeral, Chanel’s bosses and colleagues came down to pay their respects. 

“Some were more tactful than others, but the main question that all of them asked was this very one: when are you coming back to work?” 

Stunned and hurt by their lack of empathy, this was the final push that led Chanel to quit her job. She was worried about how her family would fare in this situation, but eventually decided to prioritise her mental health first.

“I was intending to do something in the media industry, but the company I was looking at was on hold for the role I wanted. So I started ramping up my streams, content creation, and opening up different accounts and platforms.”

That was when Chanel first met a friend who introduced her to OnlyFans. Since Chanel was keen on photoshoots, having starred in various photoshoots herself when she was still a teacher — “I was doing them for free, I wasn’t moonlighting” — it was only natural that she would be interested in this platform. 

“I was very much in a ‘f*ck society’ mood. There was a lot of angst coming from my previous job, so I thought, you know what, I don’t care what the conservative public thinks of me. I want to do this while I’m still young. I don’t want to be old and saggy and regret not trying.” 

Facing new challenges

Chanel in one of her photoshoots

FYI, pornography is illegal in Singapore. So for those who have a stereotypical view of what kind of content Chanel posts on OnlyFans, think again. 

To Chanel, “OnlyFans is just another social media platform, except it has a paywall.” She often posts extras from photoshoots that might be more lewd or sexy — these aren’t allowed on Instagram, but can be on OnlyFans. 

When asked about what defines her brand, Chanel shares that her main themes for shoots are a mix of cosplay, fashion and cyber. She already had a public digital art account dedicated to cyber-inspired pieces that she had done, so these shoots felt like a natural extension of that. 

On OnlyFans, subscribers get to interact with the content creators too. This means that Chanel often gets custom requests for certain photos with a negotiated price. “Sometimes, even armpit photos,” Chanel laughed as she shared. 

“But of course, when using an adult platform, this means they will request more adult things.”

Apart from OnlyFans, Chanel is actively pursuing other social media accounts — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitch, all on top of doing paid shoots, some managerial work, advertisements and boothing at conventions. It’s all about the hustle life now.  

And when it came to telling the people around her about her career switch, Chanel was surprised at the amount of support she received. “I think they could really tell I was struggling before, and they see that whatever I’m going to do is bringing a positive change.”

Her older sister had some doubts though, and questioned if she was really sure about her decision. But Chanel understands that this came from a place of concern for her future, and eventually, her siblings became fully supportive of her freelance work too.

Plans for the future

With more flexibility in her time now, Chanel’s mental health has taken a positive spin. Previously, she was prescribed antidepressants to help her with her clinical depression. But she has since stopped taking them as per her doctor’s advice — “I’m not dependent on them anymore to do productive work, and I feel a lot better.” 

Inevitably, with such a drastic career switch, Chanel is bound to come across people from her previous job. 

“Actually there are some ex-students on my OnlyFans. I don’t know why, but they will voluntarily tell me this. However, in my opinion, people make their own choices as adults and are responsible for their own spending. Whatever is on OnlyFans, stays on OnlyFans.”

Is the teacher-student relationship really null then? Chanel jokingly replied, “well, if they want to role play, it’s fine too…” 

Chanel doesn’t let the negative comments about her career switch affect her though, because she feels that she has a lot more career options now. To her, most of the comments that she has gotten are ignorant — she’s not ashamed to embrace something different, so why are they? It just sounds like their own projection of what’s “right” and “wrong”. 

“I realised that teaching is something I can do until I’m a dinosaur anyways. But then, am I really just going to evolve into this dinosaur without doing anything else with my life? The longer I was there, the more sure I was that I was wasting my youth.”

The best part about life now? Chanel doesn’t have to follow a specific path that’s set for her. The possibilities of what she can do with her future seems endless — at least, she feels, until she’s in her late 50s. 

Chanel Yui Switched From Being A Teacher To An OnlyFans Creator & Now Embraces Herself In New Ways

Despite having gone through a tough time while teaching, Chanel doesn’t regret her teaching career. “It means that I helped eight years worth of kids get better at what they are doing. I have been part of their life, and they have in some way gained something from me.” 

But her main regret? “Giving up the best years of my life to the government sector.” That’s why Chanel continues to pursue her passions and embraces herself in new ways, whether it’s as an OnlyFans creator, content creator or modelling for fun shoots. 

For those who are considering a drastic career switch too, Chanel advises, “if your job or environment is impeding your growth, especially mentally, then don’t be afraid to receive help and see that there may be a different path for you.”

In Photos: Life Of A Singaporean Male Stripper

The post I Became An OnlyFans Creator After Working As A Teacher For 8 Years & It Improved My Mental Health appeared first on ZULA.sg.

Since Titus Low announced the suspension of his OnlyFans account due to legal issues, many Singaporeans have expressed differing opinions on the matter. While OnlyFans isn’t banned in Singapore, it is an offence to transmit obscene material — clearly, a very grey area for most creators. 

We spoke to 6 Singaporeans to hear their opinions on platforms like OnlyFans. From viewing it as an outlet that gives creators control over their content, to thinking it sends the wrong message to the younger generation, read on to find out the thoughts of our generation. 

Some names have been altered to protect the identities of our interviewees.

For

1. “I don’t see anything wrong as long as it is consensual”

For illustrative purposes only

“I first heard of OnlyFans during the Covid-19 lockdown period, when sex workers started using the platform to earn money. I thought that it was a good idea, considering that OnlyFans allowed them to continue getting an income. 

I used to be an OnlyFans creator, and the only people I subscribed to were my friends that were also OnlyFans creators — we basically exchanged free trials.  

I don’t believe that OnlyFans creators have to create obscene content, but the reality is that you will profit more from creating them. I don’t see anything wrong with such content being uploaded for others’ viewing pleasure, as long as it is consensual. Creators know what to expect, such as content being leaked or circulated, so these are things they have already considered and are mindful about. There are other similar platforms like Fansly and Patreon too. 

I wasn’t aware of the regulation until the Titus Low case blew up. I feel that this whole situation is unfair, especially towards those who are just trying to make a passive income from posting content online.

OnlyFans protects the creator in a sense whereby legal action can be taken against those who circulate their content. However, it is very tedious as most subscribers are anonymous. Even with the laws in place, it might end up being the creators’ fault for even uploading such content —  at the end of the day, are the creators really being protected?”

— Vanessa, 24

2. “I think it’s an interesting page for people to discover sexualised or taboo arts”

“I was pretty neutral when I first heard about OnlyFans, as I thought it was just another platform for people to post stuff and monitise their work. I am currently not a subscriber, but I subscribed to Titus Low in the past because I was curious about how he is making money.

So far, most of the content on site is NSFW, and paid content will revolve around having the personalities strip off more layers of clothing, and their private adventures. Honestly, I’m for OnlyFans as I think it’s an interesting page for people to discover sexualised or taboo arts.

I think creators should be allowed to share whatever part of themselves as they like to the world, as long as the receiving party consents to receiving the content. The platform interface is more like Twitter, rather than porn channels that have a tonne of ads as part of monetisation efforts. But OnlyFans doesn’t have such things, and its interface is cleaner. 

OnlyFans has a lot of rebranding to go through, as the initial poor regulation of the site has shown how much it can end up exploiting underaged performers. There have to be more moderators, and there should be more variety of content in line with the branding as it’s losing its niche as a subscription-based adult site.”

— Ray, 26

3. “I am for such platforms simply because they give control to the owner of the channel”

Source

“I thought OnlyFans was just another means of getting paid for sexual content, but on a more controlled level as compared to the porn industry. 

I met someone who wanted to make an OnlyFans account, but not for sexual content. She wanted to make money off her bikini photos. With that in mind, I don’t think OnlyFans is just obscene content. I am also aware of online personalities using it as a means of posting humorous content too, like Jimmy Zhang.

I am for such platforms simply because they give control to the owner of the channel. Rather than having to sign a document with the porn industry, users can take ownership of their content and how they go about creating it. 

Everything has consequences, and they could be good or bad. With that in mind, as long as the user is certain they want to proceed, there is no issue. Singapore’s system has various loopholes, yet holds high restrictions in the wrong areas of social politics. 

For me, it’s not so much the law that hinders my consideration to be an OnlyFans subscriber. I am occasionally curious about how the site works, but will never act on it because my money can be better spent elsewhere. However, that’s my own decision and there is nothing wrong with others satisfying their curiosity about the site.”

— Shane, 26

4. “It’s a source of revenue for content creators, kind of like Instagram or TikTok influencers”

For illustrative purposes only

“I know that OnlyFans wasn’t created specifically for sexual content. But slowly, people realised its potential for sexual content and tapped into it. But I’m all for it. It’s a source of revenue for content creators, who are kind of like Instagram or TikTok influencers. 

There’s nothing wrong with uploading content, as long as the material isn’t disseminated against the creator’s will. While there is an assumption that creators earn a lot of money, I think it depends on the content created and how popular the creator is. Like any other industry, I’m sure it takes a lot of effort to earn money on OnlyFans.

I get that the law is meant to protect minors or unsuspecting victims against hate crimes, but to use it against Titus Low? It just doesn’t sit right with me, knowing that the material was transmitted consensually. 

If the material isn’t transmitted on the internet against the creator’s will, I have no opinion about it. Some people download obscene material for the ease of watching it. But if you plan to spread the material, then I think there’s something wrong there.

OnlyFans should prevent illegal downloading or screenshots of material. I’m sure if Netflix can do it for their films and shows, then OnlyFans can too.”

— Shi Quan, 26

Against

5. “The more this platform is encouraged, the more males will continue to view females as objects”

Source

“When I first heard about OnlyFans, I was quite shocked that such a platform exists and that it is legitimate. Though I believe that not everyone does obscene content, it seems like it’s mainly used for that now.

I am against such a platform. I think that it has a negative impact on society as it promotes the sex industry. Even if it’s not actual prostitution, it encourages such acts. From what I know and hear, most creators are females. 

As society grows, [more] females are being empowered and given independence, but this platform is causing us to fall back into the mindset where females are only good for their bodies. 

The more these acts are encouraged, the more males will continue to view females as mere objects for their satisfaction. No matter how hard previous generations have fought for women to have the same rights as men, it will be for nothing if people don’t start respecting themselves and each other.

Since such content already exists, there is no stopping it. But I really don’t think our society should be headed towards encouraging it through such platforms.”

6. “Compromising ourselves to earn a quick buck might send the wrong message to the younger generation”

“I’m amused and impressed with how innovative we have become in having alternative channels to earn income. I am not in favour of this platform, even though I understand that content creation is hard work, but compromising ourselves to earn quick money might send the wrong message to the younger generation.

Though it’s consensual, I hope that this is only the case among a small number of people. Twitch somewhat shares the same concept, but it seems to have a different branding where it’s more focused on gaming.

While there are laws in place, I view OnlyFans as a matter of supply and demand. Perhaps we might want to consider having both OnlyFans users and creators receive some form of penalty but on different levels.

The creators should try to be familiar with the respective country’s law in the first place and not transmit obscene materials. If such materials do not exist, they would not get into the position of breaching the law. This is also an issue that OnlyFans should be considering to safeguard their creators.”

He once explained that his purebred ragdoll, Simba, cost him $5,000 and his labradoodle, Charlie, cost $9,000 – almost double the price. His other cat, Nala, is also a designer cat but cost him only $500 as he managed to get it directly from the breeder. 

From time to time, Titus Low also shares loving photos and videos of him playing with them. If you’re interested in checking out more derpy and cute photos of his pets on your Instagram feed, you can follow them at @charliethelabrad and @tituslow_cat.

While Titus Low’s image of being an OnlyFans creator is what he’s most known for, he wants to show off his more casual and natural sides as well. That is why he decided to start his own YouTube channel in October 2021.

The last time we checked, he already has more than 95K subscribers with only 40 videos. 

5. Started OnlyFans in April 2021

Believe it or not, Titus Low only joined OnlyFans earlier in April 2021 although he first heard of it in March 2020. In just 6 months, he managed to make a name for himself and even earned the reputation as Singapore’s most subscribed OnlyFans male creator. 

From a video on his YouTube channel, he shared how he got into OnlyFans. It was the compliments he received for his topless selfies after working out that gave him the confidence to do something even more daring. 

It seems like those compliments worked well for him – just look at how far he has come since then. 

6. Prefers yoghurt over ice cream

Sorry to disappoint those with a sweet tooth but Titus Low might not share your love for desserts. He’s also shared that he doesn’t enjoy sweet treats like ice cream and chocolates. 

As mentioned in his Q&A video on his YouTube channel, he prefers yoghurt and also savoury snacks that include peanut butter instead. 

7. Inspired by another OnlyFans creator

Titus Low usually works alone for his content but if he had the chance for a collaboration, he would love to work with another OnlyFans creator, Jake Andrich. 

Perhaps because of how both of them have sleeve tattoos and defined abs, some fans mentioned that they give off rather similar vibes. Addressing that, Titus Low mentioned that he gets inspiration for his work from him too. 

With Titus Low giving a shout out to Jake Andrich on his YouTube video, who knows, they might just end up working together for exclusive content one day. 

8. He is a fan of designer art toys

Those who’ve heard of Bearbricks would know that owning just one of them would mean spending up to a few thousand dollars. 

Titus Low is a fan of this artisan toy brand and in his room, he owns 3 of them. As seen on a TikTok video, he talked about spending at least a few grand on each figurine. 

Apart from Bearbricks, it appears that Titus Low is also a fan of KAWS, with a couple of KAWS figurines spotted in his room. On his TikTok account, he posted a video of him visiting the giant KAWS pop-up installation at Marina Bay recently.  

9. His car is the most expensive item he ever bought

Being able to own a car at the age of 22 is definitely worth a mention, especially if it is a 2021 Mercedes AMG GT. Titus Low shared that it is the most expensive item he ever bought to date and the down payment for the car already cost him $150,000. 

Apart from taking photos with his prized possession, there is also a TikTok video of him showing his fans what it would be like in the car with him ‒ feeding the imagination of him as a dream boyfriend. 

10. He is a self-proclaimed introvert

If you’ve watched interview videos of Titus Low, you would most probably be surprised by his soft-spoken nature and shy personality. While many might have expected him to be an extrovert because of the nature of his job, he claims to be an introvert instead.

For example, he commented on his recent vlog on YouTube that he had never expected “his introverted self” to film such content. 

In a way, Titus Low shows that he is capable of switching from one mode to another since he is all about seriousness and professionalism at work. Off the record, he is just a shy 22 years old who is very much in love with his pets and seeks simple pleasures in life. 

11. Dreams of a simple future

Some might think that Titus Low is leading the “dream life” as he already has 3 out of 5 Cs ‒ cash, car and condominium, although he is currently renting the latter. Despite having those, his dream for the future is actually simple and honest.  

He’s mentioned in interviews how he hopes that he would be able to own a big house for his pets and future kids one day. His innocent dream sounds rather straightforward and relatable, which may come as a surprise for some.

12. Completed his sleeve tattoos in a month
