01 · Early Life

Early Life & Family

Katherine Grace Feeney was born on August 16, 2002, in Olney, Maryland, a suburb north of Washington, D.C. She is the only daughter in her family and grew up with two older brothers, Peter and Michael. Her parents keep a low profile, and their names are not public.

Katie started dancing at the age of four and competed for several years. She trained with dancers connected to the Ziegler sisters and has been linked to the Abby Lee Dance Company. As a kid she was also an ambassador for Dance Hope Cure, a group that raises awareness about childhood cancer.

A Maryland dancer turned a phone camera into a sports media career.

At Sherwood High School she was student government treasurer, ran track and was on the dance team. She graduated in 2021 and enrolled at Penn State University to study broadcast journalism, with a goal of hosting her own show or podcast. She is also an animal lover and has two dogs, Maggie and Tess.

02 · The Rise

From Musical.ly to 7.6 Million on TikTok

Katie posted her first videos in 2015 when TikTok was still called Musical.ly. She kept creating through high school, and by the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 she had about 2 million followers. During lockdown she turned to sea monkey growth videos, unboxings, DIY and comedy, which took her audience much higher.

Charli D'Amelio once dueted one of her dance videos set to a Madcon track, and the video passed 71 million views. Katie was also among the early creators to earn a verified badge. Today her main account, @katiefeeneyy, shows about 7.6 million followers and roughly 654.8 million likes.

Snapchat Record

Over $1 million from Snapchat Spotlight in six weeks.

In February 2021 she made national news when she earned more than one million dollars from Snapchat Spotlight in about six weeks, a first for the platform at the time. She was 18 and still in high school.
