Numa Numa Guy’s Bio
Numa Numa Guy was born Gary Brolsma on the 14th day of January 1986. He was born in Saddle Brook, New Jersey but the identity of his parents are not known, neither is it known if he has any siblings or where he grew up. However, judging from the educational institution he completed his high school at, it can be infered that he spent most of his formative years in his birth town, New Jersey. He attended Bergen County Technical High School from where he graduated in 2004 and since then nothing has been heard of any other academic pursuits by Brolsma.
Gary’s career began in a rather uncommon way. It was born out of boredom. As a teenager who just graduated from high school, he had little to do, hence he was bored. When he couldn’t bear the boredom, he decided to make a webcast of himself lip-synching to the popular O Zone band song, Dragostea Din Tei. During the course of the video, he brought up new dance moves to the song, the moves were both lively and goofy. He titled the video Numa Numa Dance and uploaded it on Newsground.com on December 6, 2004.
Just a regular video, he might have said, I wonder who would watch it. However, to his astonishment, the video quickly went viral. Obviously, its contents caught the attention of so many people and two months after its release, it had an amazing 2 million views. The views continued to grow as it soon hit 160 million. At this time, many people had begun to create parodies of the video. The Numa Numa Guy began to gain so much fame and recognition as his video was reposted on various other social media platforms.
Soon after, he decided that it was time for a contest. He named the contest, New Numa Contest and offered $45,000 for submissions. The Numa Numa Dance video not only popularised Gary Brolsma but gave him intense media coverage. He was interviewed by newspapers, magazines and television stations. Various mainstream media brought Gary on their shows and some of them include ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and VH1’s Best Week Ever.
Gary’s video was so successful that it became the second most viral video to hit the internet, with record-breaking views of 700 million. 10 years later, in 2014, Gary Brolsma made another video called Numa Numa 10-Year Reunion where he lip-synched some famous songs.
