Welsh singer and makeup artist Reuben De Maid. He first rose to famous on social media, but after making an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in April 2017, he gained widespread recognition. Reuben, who was raised in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, initially developed an interest in music after his mother got him a karaoke machine. His love of makeup has been the target of repeated bullying from other pupils at his school since he was a little child. About a year after he created his YouTube channel in May 2013, he started posting videos. He only uploaded covers of well-known songs at the beginning, but he eventually began posting other kinds of videos as well. Following his appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Reuben went on to make appearances on “This Morning” on British television and “Little Big Shots” on talent show television. Reuben is also quite well-liked on other social media networks. He is the most active user on Instagram, where he receives hundreds of likes on every post, aside from YouTube.

On May 4, 2013, Reuben launched his own YouTube channel under the same name. The channel’s oldest video was uploaded on June 25, 2014. He can be seen singing Beyoncé’s “Listen” cover in it. He also covered several more songs in the following years, including “Who’s Lovin You” by Jackson 5, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” by Elton John, “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston, “Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion, and “Clown” by Emeli Sandé. He currently has millions of views and thousands of subscribers on his channel.
After seeing these films, the producers of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” learned about him. After that, they got in touch with him and asked him to the performance. On April 17, 2017, he made his debut on the show in episode 137 of season 14, which also starred Simone Biles, Sasha Farber, and John Mayer. When asked during his appearance what he wanted to be when he grew up, he replied, “A Kardashian.” He also sang the torch ballad “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” from the Broadway production of “Dreamgirls.” Approximately seven months later, on November 15, 2017, he would return to the show in episode 52 of season 15. At that point, he had the chance to meet Kim Kardashian, his idol, who was a guest on the show and came to surprise Reuben.
Additionally, he had an appearance in a single episode of NBC’s variety show “Little Big Shots” in 2017. The show, which is hosted by Steve Harvey and co-created and co-produced by Ellen DeGeneres and him, provides exceptionally talented kids with a nationwide platform to showcase their skills. Reuben has also appeared in episodes of Good Morning Britain and This Morning on ITV.
Individual Life of Reuben De Maid
On March 24, 2005, Reuben was born in Cardiff, Wales. Vicki is the name of his mother. Around 2.5 years younger than him, he has a younger sister named Coco. Coco has made multiple appearances on her brother’s channel. She also has a YouTube channel with the same name, where she occasionally uploads videos about beauty, fashion, and shopping. In addition, he has two brothers who have made appearances in his videos.
His mother had given him a karaoke machine as a gift when he was little. He developed a strong interest in music as a result, and he soon began performing covers. When Reuben was eight years old, he also developed an interest in makeup and proceeded to study blogs and watch videos. At that point, he began wearing makeup to school. He was being made fun of by other students at the acting school where he was enrolled at the time. They started to intimidate him. They would kick and push him, calling him numerous derogatory things. He eventually came to the conclusion that he needed to defend himself. He also informed his mother of the situation, and she got in touch with the coach at the school. The bullying progressively stopped in the days that followed. He still frequently encountered internet trolling, though. He then joined AntiBullyPro, an anti-bullying campaign. He said, “It made me feel sad and confused why someone would want to be mean to me when I’ve done nothing to them,” after he appeared in one of their films. “It would always happen quite frequently, whether it was in person or online, but primarily in person,” he clarified.
