Hailing from Durban, but raised in Johannesburg with her mother and older sister, Chetty is not just a name; she is a story of ambition, creativity and unwavering belief in self-improvement.

Chetty’s journey into the world of content creation began in 2019.

Initially sharing dance videos and lip-syncing on TikTok, what started as a pastime quickly evolved into a thriving career.

“It started for fun, but it took off beyond my wildest dreams,” she says, a testament to her natural ability to connect with an audience.

Her content reflects her diverse interests, which include high-end perfumes, beauty, travel and food.
