Family & Early Life

Sydney Serena Parupsky was born on July 4, 2000, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. She was raised alongside her two siblings: an older brother named Ryan and a younger brother named Ashton, who appears in a number of her videos. Her family’s last name Parupsky has Slovak roots, which is traced back to Eastern Europe, particularly within the Slavic regions. She is of Slovak ancestry on her father’s side.

When Sydney was 3 years old, her parents enrolled her in gymnastics classes. She trained as a competitive gymnast for over 10 years, continuing through elementary school and into middle school. However, she dealt with recurring injuries that eventually became serious enough to require medical attention. A doctor told her that her body wasn’t built for the demands of competitive gymnastics, which meant she had to stop training to avoid further damage.

After quitting gymnastics, Sydney shifted her focus to theater and auditioned for her school’s production of The Little Mermaid. She landed the role of Flounder. But during rehearsals and performances, she began experiencing throat pain whenever she sang. What seemed like a simple sore throat turned into a persistent problem. Her parents took her to see a doctor, who diagnosed her with vocal cord dysfunction, a condition that affects breathing and speaking. This diagnosis ended her theater career as well.

With both sports and performing out of the picture, Sydney turned to YouTube. She spent hours watching beauty creators like Bethany Mota and Amanda Steele (MakeupbyMandy24), and those videos inspired her to start her own channel. She taught herself video editing and built her presence in the beauty community from scratch.

Sydney attended traditional public school from Kindergarten through 10th grade. During her junior year, she switched to online schooling because she felt disconnected from the social dynamics of high school. When she left, most of her friend group stopped talking to her and excluded her from their plans. Only two friends, Rachel Kiner and April Linn, stayed in touch. Instead of dwelling on the friendships she lost, Sydney poured her energy into making YouTube videos, which became her main outlet and source of happiness.
