Life

Born Stefan Peloza, Sanjati is of Croatian and Scottish descent.

Sanjati has a forelock of white hair and eyes both deeper blue and further apart than typical human anatomy. This is due to a genetic condition known as Waardenburg syndrome. The condition has also left Sanjati deaf in her left ear.

Living near and attending Wallaceburg District Secondary School, due to the bullying, Sanjati was driven to school most days, leading to social anxiety.

In December 2016, Sanjati underwent facial feminization surgery.

Sanjati's YouTube channel has more than 594,000 subscribers, who are collectively known as the "Bread Squad", due to Sanjati's love of bread.
