A life in public, still in progress.
Hi, I’m JUFU.
I started with a camera and a joke. I kept following the ideas.

South Brooklyn raised me.
A camera madethe world bigger.
I made Vine sketches first. My first YouTube upload came in 2013. The first year was slow; then people started sharing the jokes.
The audience found the jokes.
Then theformat changed.
Vine grew slowly at first, then quickly. When it ended, I carried my sense of humor to Musical.ly, then TikTok. The sketches became musical parodies, and the audience came along.
A community across platforms.

TikTokmake it again, differentlyOne platform changed. So I changed the format.
Comedy founda melody.
On Musical.ly, my sketches became parody songs. Later, I made my own songs. “Who R U” traveled farther than I could have imagined and led to an Island Records deal in 2019.
Listen to “Who R U”
Who are you?
I am you.What began as a fun song became a reminder that we’re connected.The curiosity never stayed in one place.
New tools.New places.
In 2022, I experimented with AI for the artwork of “FOMO.” Another way to make an idea real.
Then came Dubai in 2024, India in 2026, and Thailand in late 2026. New places kept the curiosity moving.
Always building something ↗
The latest reinvention.
If it doesn't exist,I build it.
I’m building tools for creators and brands, including Yappily for speaking to camera and BuildACreator for developing characters. The work changes; the urge to make things doesn’t.

Same person. A new frontier.
The next thingis already moving.
I make what I wish existed—stories, images, tools, and ways for other people to create. Follow the next idea into JUFU AI.
