Background

JianHao was born in Singapore.

In 2010, JianHao started a YouTube channel called 'Teenageguruz' with two of his schoolmates in United Nations International School of Hanoi, Nguyen Hoang Anh and Le Tuan Anh.

After completing their studies, Nguyen Hoang Anh and Le Tuan Anh decided to further their studies in different countries. Jianhao decided to postpone his studies and continued to develop the YouTube channel after he completed National Service in Singapore.[5]
