==Early Life==
Cavin has been candid about his difficult upbringing. He is the youngest child in his household, which often saw frequent arguments between his parents. He frequently found himself caught in the middle of these disputes. One memory that stuck with him was when his father, whom Cavin described as a compulsive liar and cheater, threw hangers at his mother. The situation escalated to the point where his grandmother threatened to harm herself.<ref name=":1">Toh, Ziyi “[https://www.8days.sg/entertainment/local/cayydences-cavin-chua-tiktok-star-stalk-childhood-trauma-817476 TikTok Star Cayydences Doesn’t Like Leaving His House Now ’Cos People Stalk Him; Opens Up About Childhood Trauma.]” ''8days,'' 16 August, 2023.

Cavin’s creative journey began early. He revealed that he had been editing YouTube videos as far back as his primary school years.<ref>Elangovan, Navene. “[https://www.channelnewsasia.com/today/big-read/tiktok-facebook-covid-pandemic-social-media-big-read-2878506 The Big Read: Fuelled by the pandemic, TikTok boom unleashes the good, bad and ugly.]” ''Channel News Asia,'' 15 August, 2022.

==Career as an influencer==
While studying communications and new media at NUS during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cavin took advantage of TikTok’s accessibility to showcase his dance skits and comedic storytelling, which quickly helped him gain traction.<ref name=":1" />

Over just a couple of years, his follower count climbed into the hundreds of thousands. In 2025, he reached one million followers on his TikTok account, @cayydences.<ref name=":0" />

In the podcast R U Okay? and several other interviews, Cavin revealed that creating content gave him an emotional and creative escape. He shared that it helped him process his troubled childhood, offering both a way to heal and a platform to tell his story.<ref name=":1" />

Cavin has openly shared that his fame follows him offline as well. He mentioned wearing disguises such as caps or sunglasses, though people would still recognise him when he is out in public. At times, he has felt the need to stay home to avoid being chased or stalked.<ref name=":1" />

==Most viral TikTok videos==
Cavin’s most viral video on Tiktok, which received over 15.4 million views and 3.2 million likes, features him and a friend acting out a scenario where two friends are out, but only one of them gets a drink.<ref>Chua, Cavin. “[https://www.tiktok.com/@cayydences/video/7423055076496821511?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7480828468164216340 cayydences]” ''TikTok,'' 7 October, 2024. Accessed 22 August 2025.</ref>

In a separate short video, he explains that when a “baddie” (a term used by Gen Z to describe strong, independent and beautiful women) stops embodying the “baddie” persona in a relationship, it is a sign that the man involved may not be the right fit for her and that the relationship itself is likely not suitable. This video garnered over 13 million views and 2.9 million likes. Even the original Youtube account on Tiktok left a comment under his post.<ref>Chua, Cavin. “[https://www.tiktok.com/@cayydences/video/7519131717500800264?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7480828468164216340 cayydences]” ''TikTok,'' 23 June, 2025.

In another video, which garnered 11 million views and 1.4 million likes, he expresses with exaggerated movements that no matter what he does, he remains tired, and he is “tired of being tired.” Many viewers in the comments section expressed their relatability to his sentiments.<ref>Chua, Cavin. “[https://www.tiktok.com/@cayydences/video/7517990398040591624?lang=en cayydences]” ''TikTok,'' 20 June, 2025.
