Early Life
Kristina Lee Halliwell Collins was born on July 1, 1996 in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Raised in a conservative family, she is the second-oldest of three sisters and two brothers. Collins aspired to pursue a career in stand-up comedy from a young age.
Growing up in a large family, she felt the need to stand out and gain attention, leading her to discover comedy as a means of self-expression.
“I wanted to find a way to shine within the family and perhaps receive some attention… by making jokes, and sometimes being a bit of a troublemaker so my parents would take notice.”
Career
Collins embarked on her TikTok journey on April 9, 2020, by creating her account and sharing her first video on the same day.
This initial video featured a lip-sync performance to a line from the movie Step Brothers, spoken by John C. Reilly.
Initially, her content revolved around lip-syncing and clips inspired by her family and childhood.
As time progressed, her TikToks evolved to include comedic skits where she portrayed various recurring characters.
Notably, she gained popularity for her personas such as a vampire-obsessed 12-year-old version of herself, a Boston bro-dude named Chad, a fed-up mom, and a tiny-handed toddler, as highlighted by The Netline.
Additionally, Collins also engages in vlogs and reaction videos on her YouTube channel. Over the years, she has collaborated with companies like Amazon, Lionsgate, and Pantene.
Red Bull even offered her a lifetime supply of their product and flew her to the top of a mountain in British Columbia to celebrate reaching 10 million followers.
In 2021, Forbes recognized her as the fifth highest-earning TikToker, with earnings amounting to $4.75 million.
On March 10, 2022, she appeared on Breakfast Television.
During her interview, Collins expressed her desire to pursue acting, stating, “I truly aspire for this to serve as a stepping stone, as I aim to venture into the traditional realm of television and perhaps even movies.”
Collins participated in VidCon 2022, which took place at the Anaheim Convention Center from June 22-25, 2022. This event marked the first VidCon since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, Collins featured in the music video for Nickelback’s song “San Quentin,” which was released on September 14, 2022.
On November 18, 2022, Collins joined Nickelback on stage in Sayreville, New Jersey, to perform their song “Rockstar” together.
In February 2023, Collins launched her own clothing brand called “Otto By Kris”. She also served as a presenter at the 2023 Juno Awards, where she contributed to the promotion of Nickelback’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
The awards ceremony occurred on March 13, 2023. On May 5, 2023, it was announced that Collins would star in a web series titled “Ginormo!”. The series, created by Ken Mok and Steven He, premiered on May 12, 2023.

Furthermore, she received a Streamy award nomination in the Comedy category for the 13th Annual Streamy Awards.
Personal Life
Collins and her ex-boyfriend, Aaron, first met at a barbecue gathering in 2015 and were in a relationship for a span of six years.

Despite the breakup, she emphasized that they remained close friends but had simply grown apart over time.
Collins also opened up about her mental health struggles in a YouTube video posted in May 2021.
During a YouTube Q&A session in 2021, Collins was asked about her affiliation with the LGBTQ community.
In response, she expressed that she considered herself both a member and an ally.
She explained that she had never felt the need to label herself and that she loved people regardless of their gender, whether they were female, male, or anything else.
While some might categorize her as pansexual, she clarified that she didn’t personally identify with any specific label.
On April 26, 2023, Collins shared a video where she discussed her unsettling experiences with being stalked.
