Ben Byrne, better known as The Smiling Afro, is one of Singapore’s most recognisable digital personalities — celebrated for his vibrant energy, infectious humour, and content that just clicks. With over 400K followers across his social media platforms and 6.8 million likes on TikTok he’s mastered the art of blending storytelling, comedy, and relatability into scroll-stopping content. From laugh-out-loud skits to creative short films, his work reflects his background in filmmaking and acting, giving every piece that polished, professional edge. As a host, he brings the same magic off-screen too. Think charisma that grabs you from the first word, comedic timing sharper than your morning kopi, and an ability to keep any room buzzing — whether it’s a community event, a live show, or a digital broadcast.
