Born on May 15, 2002 in Stockton, California, Chase Hudson, better known as Huddy or LILHUDDY, is an American influencer, singer, and actor. Hudson debuted on the scene by gaining popularity on the video-sharing app, TikTok. He then ended up being the co-founder of TikTok’s “Hype House,” a collective of other TikTok creators who collaborate on videos to share on the video app.

Hudson later signed a record deal with Geffen Records, a record label owned by Universal Music Group and Interscope Records. In January 2021, he made his acting debut in the Machine Gun Kelly film, “Downfalls High.” Two months after being signed to a record label, Hudson released his debut single, “21st Century Vampire,” which then followed with three other singles, “The Eulogy of You and Me,” “America’s Sweetheart,” and “Don’t Freak Out,” leading up to the announcement of his debut album, Teenage Heartbreak. In September 2022, a little over a month after releasing his single “All the Things I Hate About You,” Hudson announced that he was now an independent artist.

As of August 2021, Hudson has over 30 million followers on TikTok and a following of over one million across other social media platforms.
