Edison Lopez was born in Margate, Florida to Puerto Rican parents. He began creating content on TikTok at the age of 17 as an outlet for his passion for video creation. His content featured a variety of comedic skits, including highlighting Latino double entendres and imitating diverse Latino accents.
Lopez found his niche with his first viral video “The Puerto Rican Kid at School,” a video he created in response to the lack of Puerto Rican representation on TikTok. Its popularity led him to not only focus on Puerto Rican subject matter, but on Latino subject matter as a whole, recognizing the need for culturally relevant content and messaging. His videos grew to include history lessons on Latino music pioneers, trailblazers, factual history of Latin America and more, often serving as the first introduction to historical and Latino-targeted facts to his mostly Gen Z audience.
Recognized for his storytelling and editing style, Lopez has collaborated with various brands including Verizon, Adidas, Amazon and McDonalds and has been featured in various media outlets including ABC News Live, Vice, The New York Times, Telemundo and NPR. He also hosted Amazon Music’s La Semanal, a podcast featuring top Latino music artists and was honored as an Ambassador at the National Puerto Rican Day Parade. Lopez recently graduated from Florida Atlantic University where he majored in multimedia studies and film to pursue a career in content creation across the board. He continues to share his passion for Latino culture, history and video creation with his over 1 million followers across social media.
