Colleen Ballinger

Colleen Ballinger is best known for creating the Internet character Miranda Sings, a comically talentless and egotistical singer who satirizes viral videos of people performing badly. That character launched a one-woman comedy tour and the Netflix series Haters Back Off, which ran from 2016 to 2017. She started posting videos in 2006, when she was 19, and has been active for two decades.

Born in Santa Barbara, California, she is American, writes, and works as an actress, comedian, and influencer across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. She has a slim build, stands 5'6", and has brown hair and brown eyes. As of December 2024, her social following includes 8.24 million YouTube subscribers, 8.6 million TikTok followers, and 7.4 million Instagram followers. Short and nimble is not the word; her career is long. She keeps things real.
