Personal life
Born in California, United States to an American father, merchant mariner Steve Dasovich and a Filipino mother, interior designer Charry Dasovich. Wil was raised in San Francisco, California where he grew up with Zac Effron long before the latter became a Hollywood actor.[4][5]
YouTube
Mixed Croatian Filipino, Wil was born and raised outside of San Francisco, California. While in college he studied business and was accepted into an entrepreneurial internship program. From there he started up and ran his own residential painting business for nearly 2 years. After graduating, he chose to travel around Southeast Asia, most notably The Philippines. It was there where he was scouted by an agent and asked to try out commercial modeling.
After being exposed to showbiz and finding some success as a host & TV personality, he decided to stay and pursue his career in the entertainment industry. Things would take a turn as he eventually committed 100% to YouTube focusing all his efforts on creating content. This is where he would become widely recognised after creating a mini series that would go viral (The Art of Tagalog) about the Filipino language and his adaptation to a new life living in The Philippines. Today Wil continues to make videos about his daily life on his Vlog "Wil's World" which he posts to his YouTube channel. Consisting of a mix between comedy and travel, you can find him doing all sorts of crazy antics involving eating rats, riding on top of cars, and performing all sorts of different acts in order to keep things as entertaining as possible or as he says, #ParaSaVlog (For the vlog). Consistent uploads with exceptional editing has now made Wil the top vlogger in The Philippines.
#VlogSquad
Dasovich started the "#VlogSquad" (vlog squad) with Daniel Marsh and Coraleen Waddell. The three have appeared together in travel vlogs on their respective YouTube channels. Dasovich's sister, Hayley and fellow Big Brother housemate Baninay Bautista came as a later additions to the squad.
