Mikey Murphy

Back when Mikey started the channel for his school project, he got a lot of criticism from his classmates which eventually made him drop out of school. That never stopped him from pursuing his dreams of being an actor/YouTube personality. As he says in one of his videos, he enjoyed social interactions on his channel. He then met Luke Korn who also has a YouTube channel called, “UncleKornicob” at the “Playlist Live” event and they both made a lot of videos together, ranging from challenges to pranks. After Mikey moved to Los Angeles, he is working on with Jonah Green and is represented by talent representation companies like, ‘Big Frame’ and ‘Creative Artists Agency’. On November 30, his channel reached a million subscribers and he thankfully posted the same as a vlog in his channel. As of January 2017, his channel has over 1.1 million subscribers and over 45 million video views.

Although Mikey is younger than most YouTube stars, he manages to produce content appropriate for most age groups. In his ‘Draw My Life’ video, he says that he started talking and walking before he was 1 year old which can be why he is mature enough to provide consistent and well-accepted content. Mikey wasn’t a professional when he started off with vlogging his everyday life with people online but he now creates vividly-creative videos making use of some really innovative camera angles. He is also known to be working with consumer-based companies like M&Ms and BurgerKing.

Mikey has over 58 thousand followers on Vine and 643 thousand followers on Instagram. As a triburte to their earlier days on YouTube, Luke Korn and Mikey launched a compilation of their favorite songs on itunes and the album is called “From the stories we tell”. Mikey, when asked what his fans can expect in 2017, he said, “Oh so many and they’re going to hate that all I can say is “soon”. I am writing and directing a few major projects and starring in a few films that I cannot wait to talk more about, oh and of course YouTube! It is going to be a very exciting year!”
