If you’ve spent any time on TikTok in Singapore, chances are high that you’ve stumbled across a video of someone dancing, ranting, or making a wildly unfiltered joke — and that someone is probably Cavin Chua, aka @cayydences. This 23-year-old Gen Z content creator has carved out a name for himself on the platform with his chaotic story times, hilarious POV skits, and ultra-relatable vibes.
But there’s more to Cavin than just viral moments and comedic timing. Whether he’s dropping personal truths, busting a move, or sharing mental health insights, he’s showing how authenticity is at the heart of every successful influencer marketing strategy. So, who really is the man behind the madness? Let’s break it down. Here are 5 fun facts about Cayydences that’ll make you appreciate him even more:
1. His Colour Blindness Led to a Dress Code Disaster
Cavin’s not one to shy away from oversharing—even when it involves epic fails. Case in point? A recent event required guests to wear yellow, purple, or turquoise. For someone who struggles to distinguish primary colours (yep, he’s colourblind), this was a nightmare. After frantic TikTok pleas for help (“What even is turquoise?!”), netizens flooded him with descriptions like “blue-green” and “the colour of the event invite.” Spoiler: He showed up in a black polo.
2. He’s Low-Key an Introvert
Despite his hyper-energetic videos, Cavin admits he’s actually “reserved and quiet” offline. He carefully curates what he shares—think hilarious rants over relationship drama, but never airing personal beef. This authenticity has made him a preferred choice for those who want to do influencer marketing, with brands clamouring to tap into his genuine vibe.
3. He’s Been a Content Machine Since Primary School
Before TikTok fame, Cavin was editing YouTube videos as a kid. The pandemic lockdowns finally gave his dance covers and absurd skits the spotlight they deserved. Why TikTok? “The editing tools were easy, and the reach was insane,” he says. Fast-forward to today: 1.5M+ followers and counting.
4. His Childhood Trauma Fuelled His Hustle
In an episode of the R U Okay? podcast, Cavin opened up about his tough childhood. Growing up in a home with frequent conflicts left him with a fair amount of emotional baggage. But instead of letting that define him, Cavin uses his platform to connect with others going through the same struggles. His message? If he can go through all that and still get up and dance on TikTok, you can survive whatever life throws your way too.
5. Fame Means He Can’t Have a Peaceful Day Outside Anymore
Going viral has downsides. Cavin jokes that even sunglasses and hats can’t save him from being recognised at hawker centres or malls. Some days, he’d rather stay home than deal with the attention. But hey—when you’re Singapore’s favourite internet clown, anonymity was never in the cards.
Conclusion
From goofy dance clips to deep personal reflections, Cavin has proven that he’s more than just a TikTok personality. He’s a creator who blends humour with honesty, and chaos with control. As his star continues to rise, one thing’s for sure: Cavin Chua isn’t just unforgettable — he’s also quietly reshaping what it means to be real on the internet.
