Emily Davis is a social media personality, actor, and creator best known as one of the primary stars of Crafty Panda, a social media channel that provides comic content based on relatable, everyday situations. The channel, which started out as an offshoot of Bored Panda magazine, has an incredible 19.1 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 8.9 million fans on Facebook. Davis herself has well over 22,000 followers on Instagram where she regularly posts selfies that gather thousands of likes within hours of being uploaded.
Davis keeps her personal life very separate from her professional life, but she is undoubtedly a major online presence. She can be seen in many of Crafty Panda’s most-watched videos, including their “17 Funny and Useful Back to School Hacks” video, which is by far the channel’s most popular video with over 141 million views (to put that into context, that’s a higher view count than all but two videos by The Beatles, the biggest-selling, most influential artists of all-time).
She may give almost nothing away about herself, but Davis can firmly claim to be a YouTube star — a term that is often used with little justification. But when you’re one of the principal stars of a channel with over 5 billion views and growing, it’s more than merited.
