How I Went Down the UtahJaz Age Rabbit Hole
So last night I was scrolling TikTok and kept seeing this UtahJaz guy popping up everywhere. His edits blew up like crazy recently, right? Naturally I got curious – how old even IS this dude? Figured I’d just Google it real quick before bed.
Silly me thought it’d be simple. Typed “UtahJaz age” straight into the search bar. First page was pure junk – those shady “celebrity age” sites stuffed with ads. One claimed he was 24, another said 19, both zero sources. Useless. Even Twitter threads argued about it with zero proof.
Realized I needed better tactics. Here’s how I dug deeper:
- Scrolled his oldest TikTok posts like an archaeologist hunting context clues. Earliest videos showed him already editing? But no clear “I’m turning X today” footage.
- Stalked tagged photos on IG from 2019-2020 looking for birthday balloons or school hints. Found grainy pics of him in what might be a high school gym? Maybe?
- Checked podcast interviews where hosts usually ask “how old are you?” – listened to THREE HOURS of episodes. He dodged it every dang time like a pro.
Getting legit frustrated now. Almost texted my nephew who’s obsessed with TikTok drama begging for insider info. Then I remembered – that clip where UtahJaz joked about forgetting his ID for a concert last year! Went scrambling back through his videos like a detective finding a lost fingerprint.
Found it. Boom – he flashed a blurred driver’s license for half a second in a September 2022 video. Froze the frame. Enhanced that garbage quality mess. After 20 minutes squinting at pixels… birth year was 2004. Did the math. Current age slapped me like reality.
Big damn surprise: This viral editing king is younger than my Spotify playlists. He’s freaking 19. Felt ancient instantly. Saw a comment saying “He looks 25” and laughed so hard I choked on my coffee.
Moral of the story? Tracking down an internet person’s age requires borderline FBI tactics while they’re out here living their best life editing videos for cereal money. And now? Back to my crossword puzzle like the grandpa I apparently am.
