Dalas Review

Daniel Santomé Lemus (born 31 October 1993), better known as Dalas Review or simply Dalas, is a Spanish YouTuber with more than 11 million subscribers on his main channel.

Dalas is the first child of Juan Jose Santomé and Sabrina Lemus, and was born on 31 October 1993 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

He was introduced to computers when he was three years old and around the age of 11–12, he got into 3D modelling and photo editing.

He later enrolled in a multimedia degree, but decided to drop out.

In 2005, when the YouTube platform was created, Dalas started grabbing film trailers in other languages to put "subtitles that didn't make any sense".

"Dalas" is a combination of the first two letters of his first name, the first letter of his second last name and the first two letters of his first last name the other way around.

He started his career in 2010 with a channel named DTeamVlogs, achieving virality with a video criticizing Justin Bieber's fans named "La niña believer".

His main channel "Dalas Review" was created in 2012.

He has also written two novels, Fugitives in Time (2016) and ''The Ink.

In 2016, he published Fugitivos en el tiempo (Fugitives in Time), a science fiction novel starring Uriel and based on time travel.

It sold 16,000 units in four editions.

He signed several copies of his book in Málaga.

The origin of the development began in September 2016 with a Kickstarter campaign under the title of "Kewpie - Jazzy", a video game strongly inspired by those of Rare.

The project aimed to raise 92,000 euros, however only 650 would be raised.

Dalas would then take the project and, in December 8 of that year, it would return under the new name "Fur Fun".

Beyond the Magic'' (2017).

In July 2017, Dalas won the Tolete Award for his parody of the Canarian accent in a video titled "Imitating 15 accents of Spain and Latin America (Very Bad)".

In January 2021 he created a Pornhub account where he intended to upload videos about sexual education.

In November 2017, he published ''La tinta.

Más allá de la magia (Ink. Beyond magic)'', a novel that tells the story of Sveia, a young woman misunderstood both by her environment and by the bad relationship with her parents and classmates, but who would soon find herself immense in a magical world inhabited by supernatural creatures.

During the book's launch, Dalas stated that instead of the traditional book signings, he would hold some kind of shows that will include activities including reading a snippet from his book.

In August 2021, he released the beta version of the video website Stardeos, for which he invested in for a total of nine months.

According to him, the website's focus is to be a "fairer" version of YouTube, in which creators would receive more visibility than in other platforms and would have more freedom regarding their content.

In addition, the platform is not allowed to delete channels or demonetize and/or censor videos unless a judge orders it.

During the first four hours after the release, the website was down due to high traffic of more than 150,000 users per minute.

This is due to the fact that the capacity of the servers that Dalas hired could not support large amounts of connected users.

In October 2021, Stardeos was back online, while Wrixy, a website dedicated to publishing literary content, went offline due to Dalas being unable to pay maintenance costs within five days.

In October 2021, he uploaded a video complaining about the various problems he had both with 200 people who worked on the project and with companies he contacted.

During the development of Stardeos, he also contacted some YouTubers and streamers like AriGameplays and JuanSGuarnizo to ask them to upload videos to the platform.

In March 2022, he uploaded a video to Stardeos in which he talks about and is extremely aggressive and verbally explicit towards Twitter haters under the argument that he has had to endure comments of the same level from these users for a long time.

He also claimed that he would upload videos of the same style but for paid subscribers.

In June 2022, he uploaded the first paid Stardeos video accusing AriGameplays of being unfaithful to JuanSGuarnizo with TheGrefg.

Dalas has worked on a few video game projects like: Fur Fun, an adventure and platform video game in 3D, released on Steam on February 10, 2017.

The game was developed jointly by Dalas and a friend of his named Doky, using the program Unreal Engine 4.

After its official launch on Steam, received generally negative reviews and in January 2018, he announced that he would remove the game from Steam.

During 2020 and 2021, Dalas was looking for programmers to help in the development of "Fur Fun 2".

On December 23, 2021, Daniel, after having a private conversation with an anonymous person on TorChat, claimed to have received 10 million euros worth of Bitcoin from the anonymous individual.

Dalas has claimed for a long time to be raising as much money as possible to open a laboratory focused on biological immortality research.

Allegedly, the anonymous donor sent Dalas the money to support this plan.

After the announcement, a series of videos followed suit in which he investigated the source of the bitcoins and who sent them, after finding a hidden message he discovered that the person who sent the bitcoins was from Sinaloa, Mexico.
