Libbey Ketterer was born on November 1, 1998, in Ohio. Growing up, she always had a passion for music, and it was this love that eventually led her to discover American Sign Language. In high school, she decided to take ASL classes and quickly fell in love with the language.
It wasn't long before Libbey's passion for ASL and music merged into a creative outlet. She was inspired to create a blog on GifBoom where she could share her interpretations of popular songs through sign language. Naming the blog TheDailySign, Libbey began creating .gifs of herself signing song lyrics, and her unique blend of music and ASL quickly garnered attention.
In 2015, Libbey decided to take her passion to YouTube and launched her channel, TheDailySign. The channel became a hit among the Deaf and hard of hearing community, as well as hearing individuals interested in ASL. Her engaging personality and expressive signing style quickly earned her a dedicated following, with over 500,000 subscribers tuning in to watch her ASL covers of popular songs.
Libbey's journey into the world of ASL was not a solo one. She credits much of her success to her twin sister, Abbey, who also began learning ASL alongside her. The two sisters supported and encouraged each other, making their ASL journey a shared experience.
Outside of YouTube, Libbey can also be found on YouNow, where she interacts with her fans live as thedailysign. She also maintains an active presence on social media, with accounts on Twitter and Instagram under the handle libbeytds.
One of Libbey's most popular videos is her ASL cover of the hit song "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson. Her energetic performance and clear interpretation made the video a fan favorite, showcasing her talent for bringing music to life through sign language.
Outside of her online presence, Libbey remains dedicated to spreading awareness and appreciation for ASL. She continues to create content that bridges the gap between the Deaf and hearing communities, using music as a universal language to connect with her audience.
