CristoRata's personal details

Early career

September 6, 2021 marks CristoRata's formal entry onto TikTok, the platform where he began publishing lip-sync videos, pranks and sketches loaded with a carefree and often irreverent humour. His content was characterised from the start by spontaneity and the use of everyday situations taken to the point of absurdity.

One of his first viral moments came when he became known on TikTok for a heavy prank he played on some police officers which ended with the creator at the police station after telling them he sold drugs. The video went viral within hours of being published.

From the beginning, the formula was clear: street content, unscripted and with a personality unafraid of the consequences. That daring was precisely the magnet that drew his first community of followers.

Personal life

The nickname 'CristoRata' came about as a humorous mix between his first name Cristopher and the word “rata” (rat), referring to a popular archetype in Peru that alludes to cheekiness, wit and the ability to survive in difficult urban environments. Far from affecting him, that name became his identity trademark.

He is a big football fan and has Cristiano Ronaldo as his favourite player, whom he also has tattooed on his left arm.

He is part of the content creator crew Basic House, where he works with other influencers such as Dafonseka, King León and AngelRamirez.

In 2023, the creator went through a difficult personal moment when he publicly reported the leak of intimate videos of himself, announcing legal measures against those responsible and apologising to his family and followers. Shortly afterwards, he announced a pause from social media to seek professional help.
