Early years
He was born on December 13, 1990 in Havant, Hampshire, England, in United Kingdom to loving parents.
He was an ambitious student on the Southampton Solent University where he started doing video productions and he wanted to become a games journalist.
That’s why at first he was primarily focused on “let’s play videos”.
It wasn’t long when he started to notice how much the children love to watch his channel. Especially those who gain access to their phones very early such as those who get them in elementary school. What is great about having this type of audience is the fact that they are prone to reclick and rewatch videos and therefore bring greater money.
That is when he decided to switch his gaming to more family-friendly version.
Career development

At the beginning of his successful career he was working as a barman and he decided to leave this job and focus only on uploading and advertising videos for his channel.

He invented the character of Stampy Cat who is basically an orange-white cat.
He plays and he tells stories about Minecraft and other games, and tries to get his viewers interested in pursuing a lot of activities in these games in order to improve their skills.
He receives mail from his viewers and he answers to them because he rather wants to be their friend and not only the game presenter.
In 2014 he was nominated for Trending Gamer at The Game Awards. Q
There are two more characters in his YouTube videos and they are both his friends. They are David Spencer as iBallisticSquid and Bethany Bates as a duck.
In 2015 he was hired by The Maker Studios to make a special educational hannel called Wonder Quest which was designed to be used in schools.
Jared also appeared as Stampy Cat on Disney XD sitcom series “Gold Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything”.
Joseph also released “Stampy’s Lovely Book” in 2015 for little children from 4 to 10 and one year later he released “Stampy Cat: Stick with Stampy” which is kind of a sequel.
He has over 8 million subscribers on his channel and his views are counted in billions. There is a lot of positivity on hjs channel and he rarely gets hate comments. The kids love him and parents think he is a great person to look up to since there is no history of him doing drugs, abusing alcohol… He even tries to say nice words abd avoids cussing.

He has two sisters with whom he is in good relations but his older sister Netty is also a YouTuber and has her own channel called “Netty Plays”. He helped her to get it started since he was already pretty popular back then, and she tends to look up to him and tries to be like him.
