Dylan Mulvaney

Dylan Mulvaney, born on December 29, 1996, in San Diego, California, pursued a career in musical theater after graduating from the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Her early professional life included touring with the Broadway national tour of “The Book of Mormon” as Elder White, along with various roles in Off-Broadway and Old Globe Theatre productions such as “How The Grinch Stole Christmas!,” “8,” “Next to Normal,” “Legally Blonde,” “Spring Awakening,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” and “High School Musical.” These experiences provided a foundation in performance before her transition to digital media.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in Mulvaney’s career when she began posting videos on TikTok. In March 2022, after coming out as a trans woman, she launched her viral “Days of Girlhood” series, documenting her gender transition, which quickly amassed over one billion views and garnered more than 10 million followers by 2023. Her increasing visibility led to significant recognition, including a Queerties Groundbreaker Award, a Streamy Award for Breakout Creator (2023), and Attitude’s Woman of the Year Award. Forbes also recognized her on their 30 Under 30 list in November 2023, acknowledging her influence and impact.

Mulvaney’s career progression expanded beyond social media and advocacy. In 2024, she released her debut single, “Days of Girlhood,” which topped the Genius lyrics chart. She also announced a two-book deal with Abrams Image, with her memoir, “Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer,” set for release in 2025. Her return to acting includes an appearance in Apple TV+’s “The Buccaneers” in 2025 and a re-staging of her one-woman show, “The Least Problematic Woman in the World,” Off-Broadway. She also joined the cast of “The Drowsy Chaperone” at Carnegie Hall, showcasing her continued presence in live performance and entertainment.
