Quick Bio

Hayes is from a big family; he is the third child among four in his family. His father Chad Grier was a football coach. His mother's name is Elizabeth Grier-Floyd. When the boys began to publish Vine videos and started to gain popularity on the Internet, their father became worried that such an easy fame would work to the detriment to his sons. But now he provides support to his children and manages their career. (Photo of Hayes and Nash in childhood)

Grier's older brother Nash is also a social media star and famous Vine blogger. They are very close friends who make videos together and stand by each other throughout life.

Hayes studied at Davidson Day School in Davidson, North Carolina. As for now, it’s unknown whether or not he plans on attending college after his high school graduation.

As a kid, Hayes was a shy guy, and he felt uncomfortable to talk to other people. But when the Vine application appeared, he liked the idea of shooting short funny videos, and as he said in one of the interviews, he “came out of his shell.” It was the moment when he started to become increasingly popular among other bloggers.

Vines

Hayes published his first video in April, 2013. Hayes and Nash filmed a Vine video on a rooftop. Later, Tiffiny Semashko, a popular Vine star with a huge audience, made a repost of their video on her Twitter. She is considered to be the one who led the way to success for young boys.

Dancing With The Stars
