Johnny Wallace aka johnnyboyxo on YouTube is a very popular Transgender woman who has become a huge role model for the Transgender and Gay community. She was born September 21, 1990 in Philadelphia, PA, born a biologically male but believes that this does not define your gender. She also has a brother and sister who love her dearly, supporting her to the fullest.

She started out on YouTube making videos back in 2007 and quickly gained viewers. She made videos making fun of her haters and a ton of other comedy videos. She made it on celebrity Perez Hilton's blog and gained tons of viewers and subscribers. She became an internet sensation over night. She now has over 150,000 subscribers and more than 30,000,000 video views on her main YouTube channel (johnnyboyxo). Some of Johnny Boy's videos were broadcast on the news in Philadelphia. 

JohnnyBoy started singing at age 6. She was in her school choir throughout all of school. As her success started rising through YouTube she started to release music of hers. Her first single she released was called "It's Johnny Boy" placing her on the iTunes charts. She continued to produce more and more music releasing a few EP's and singles. One of her songs has reached almost a million views on her YouTube channel.

Johnny Boy has released a clothing line that she has been successful. A lot of her fans have purchased her clothing in support of her. She is a successful woman and has achieved so much throughout her life with her YouTube Videos to her music. She is also friends with many celebrities like Jeffree Star who is also a gay music artist.

The reason she is my hero is because she has done a lot for people who are having Gender Identity dilemmas and getting bullied for who they are. She has called out many of her haters on YouTube making good points about how ignorant they are. She is an Icon to the Transgender and Gay Community. She has also helped me gain my confidence and not care what anyone has to say or think about me. I stick up for myself now because if you let people walk over you they will always do it because they know you won't do anything.
