Joseph Garrett

As a college student, Joseph dreamed of becoming a games journalist one day. When his first YouTube project became popular, he left the job of a barman to pursue a full-fledged career in online video production. He set out on the road to stardom when he was hired by ‘Game Thirst’ for posting a review on Homefront game.

After the unparalleled success of Stampy’s YouTube channel, Garrett decided to bring out the educational potential of video games by striking a deal with Maker Studios for ‘Wonder Quest’. With this scripted, professionally produced classroom platform, he could create a base for constructively shaping young minds.

Garrett’s character also appeared as the announcer of World Gaming Championship in ‘Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything’, a series premiered on Disney XD sitcom. He is attached to MineCon held in London and the Minecraft film.

He entered into a two-book deal with Egmont Publishing. His first book titled ‘Stampy’s Lovely Book’ was launched on 22nd October 2015 that covered basic facts about Stampy and games, activities and jokes for entertaining children. The kids are anxiously waiting for his second book, which is yet to release in future.

What we love about Garrett is his ability to portray himself as a big, bright cartoonish character. He treats his viewers as friends and totally connects with them. Jordan Shapiro from ‘Forbes’ praised Garrett’s efforts for bringing out the positive, educational aspects of video games in a light and humorous setting.

He thinks of YouTube as an interactive platform for kids where they can learn a lot more than they do in normal classrooms. In an interview with ‘The Guardian’, Garrett discussed his strategy about the web series ‘Wonder Quest.’ Garrett believes animated cartoons are an excellent way of improvising on our existing education system. With this brand new project, Garrett aims to reach out to all kids, without acting too “babyish.”

Needless to say, this lover of kids maintains a very clean and controversy-free image in public as many young ones idolize him. He’s constantly working hard to combine education with gaming experiences, so as to take some of the burden off modern-day parents.

Garrett has no specific plans for his future. He has no idea where he would be after a span of five months; all he knows is he enjoys making videos. He’s constantly thinking of strategies for making better, more entertaining and creative videos. We wish him all the best!
