Early Life & Background

Josh Richards was born on January 31, 2002, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and spent his early years in Cobourg, Ontario. He has a younger sister named Olivia and a younger brother named Willie. He dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles to pursue social media full time, building a following on TikTok with sports clips, dancing and comedy videos.

Richards was an early member of the Sway House, the TikTok creator collective founded in January 2020 alongside Bryce Hall and others. The group helped make him one of the most recognisable faces on the platform, and he used that audience as a launchpad for acting, music and business ventures.

Richards has acted in the films Brother’s Keeper and Summertime Dropouts, and he appears in the film Dream Scenario alongside Nicolas Cage and Noah Centineo. He also released music, including the 2020 single Still Softish featuring Bryce Hall and the 2024 track Smallest Man with Dave Portnoy.

On the business side, Richards co-founded TalentX Entertainment and was the first artist to sign with the company when he inked a recording contract with Warner Records in July 2020. He later served as chief strategy officer of Triller, co-founded Ani Energy, and helped form a $15 million venture capital fund. In 2022 he co-founded CrossCheck Studios with fellow creator Griffin Johnson, and the company signed a first-look deal with Amazon.

Richards is also a keen golfer. He won the third Creator Classic on May 7, 2025, at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, teaming up with Erik Anders Lang and Brad Dalke, and he reached the semifinals of the Internet Invitational in August 2025.
