Tiffany "Tiffy" Michelle Herrera (born March 19, 1988), better known as iHasCupquake, is an American YouTuber, artist, and vlogger. Initially known for her gaming, her content expanded to include vlogs, animations, and DIY videos.[2] After joining YouTube in 2010, Herrera became popular on the platform for her many Minecraft series and her animation uploads. As of August 2024, her main channel has over 7 million subscribers[note 1] and over 3 billion views.[note 2] Across all major platforms, Herrera's reach spans to a following of nearly 14 million.[note 3]

Herrera is one of the most popular gaming YouTubers on the platform. She was given the Guinness World Records title for Most subscribers for a female games broadcaster on YouTube and Most viewed female games broadcaster on YouTube — featuring in the 2018 Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition publication.[3][‡ 1] iHasCupquake was a finalist in the Gaming category for both the 9th Shorty Awards and the 7th Streamy Awards.[4][5] She also was nominated for Choice Web Star - Gaming at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards.[6]

Herrera has always expressed interest in many forms of entertainment. Her artistic journey includes appearances in film and television, along with musical pursuits. Herrera starred in ABC’s Wipeout[7][‡ 2], made a voice cameo in the Disney animation Ralph Breaks the Internet[8][‡ 3], and released her debut EP Funkin' Sister[‡ 4] based on the game Friday Night Funkin’. Additionally, she was one of two winners for the YouTube Original series Secret Saboteurs[9]. Herrera is also the first woman to join DanTDM’s Shady Oaks SMP and was one of the original organizers and participants of the MC Championship.[10][11] In July 2024, iHasCupquake’s 2017 single “Let’s go Creeping” garnered viral media attention helping Herrera surpass 7 million YouTube subscribers.[12][‡ 5]

Early life and education

[edit]

Herrera was born March 19, 1988. She is a native of Los Angeles, California. Herrera grew up with a brother who is two years older than her named Anthony Garcia. Her father worked as a pressman while her mother was a stay-at-home mom.[‡ 6] She was a model as a child, making an appearance on the back of the Mattel Barbie Party Time Teresa packaging.[13][‡ 7] Herrera stopped as she felt she was missing too much time with her school friends. Afterwards, she did ballet, swimming, soccer, softball and many other school activities growing up. Unsure of an educational path, Herrera got an internship at Cartoon Network, but she said that an office job "wasn't for her," before being introduced to YouTube. She then went on to graduate from California State University, Long Beach in May 2011 with a bachelor's degree in fine arts.[‡ 6][‡ 8]
