Joseph Garrett, commonly known by his online alias, StampyStampylongnose or Stampylongheadis an English Actor, Gamer and Author. His personality was known mainly for playing Stampylonghead.

Personal Life

Joseph was born on December 13, 1990 (age 27-28), and lived in Havant, Hampshire, England. His father later contributed for Stampy's artwork for the channel and merchandise. His mother became a moderator in his social media pages. He has two sisters, one who is now working with his dad, and his other sister, who runs a YouTube channel of her own. He is engaged with fellow gamer and YouTuber Bethany Bates.

History

Before Fame

He created his first channel Stampylongnose when Let's Plays were first becoming popular and left his job at a pub to create videos full time.

Career

Garrett created his first Youtube channel,Stampylongnose , on August 3rd 2006. He got the name from an animation he had made which a character 'Stampylonghead'.

He used the channel for uploading silly, real-life videos with his friends. He also spent hours making stop-motion films and animations.

Once he left school, he did video production courses in both college and university. The channel then became home to work projects that he helped create or acted in.

After watching video gameplay on Youtube, which had just started to become popular, Garrett recorded gameplay commentaries. Starting off with Call of Duty, then moving onto Halo, he soon realised he was boring to listen to and did not feel comfortable talking to himself.

Garrett was approached by a company called 'GamesThirst' to create a review of a new game. They seemed pleased with the outcome, and 'hired' him to create more videos on their behalf. Garrett began to realize he was getting more and more skilled at commentating on games.

The final months of university began to take up a lot of Garrett's free time, and thus he announced that he no longer had time to make gameplay videos. However, to compensate, he created a new channel called Stampylonghead in which he uploaded let's-play videos just for fun, which took far less time and far less effort.

Garrett then downloaded Minecraft for the Xbox. He recorded every step of the way from the moment he set foot in a brand new world, entitled himself as Stampy's Lovely World. His audience then began to grow rapidly, and with the addition of Stampy's Love Garden he was able to communicate with them and thank them in better ways. He knew that Minecraft was a perfect mix of his passions of storytelling, video gaming, and video filming.

In January 2013, Garrett met a person known as iBallisticSquid. They planned to do only a couple of videos together, but quickly became close friends both in and out of videos. They are now

seen as a duo, and formed their own joint channel, 'The Magic Animal Club'.

In 2014, he met another person known as Sqaishey Quack. Their friendship grew quickly as they made videos across both of their channels, and their relationship also grew too. They moved to a new house together, and they currently own two pets, Ori (a cat) and Alyx (a dog). In July 2018, the two were finally engaged.

Near the end of 2014, Maker Studios (a Disney subsidiary) and Garrett announced their partnership, wherein an edutainment series will be created, as well as a website, an app for both iOS and Android, and a merchandise shop for the United States (no longer active).

In early 2015, his current channel reached 5 Million Subscribers and was nominated for the “UK Favourite Tipster” category in the 2015 Kids' Choice Awards presented by Nickelodeon, but lost to The Diamond Minecart (the exact thing happened when he was nominated again the following year).

On 25th April 2015, Stampy's new show Wonder Quest premiered on YouTube. It is an edutainment series created by Garrett and Maker Studios, which is part of their partnership. In this series, Stampy and his new friend Wizard Keen (voiced by Adam Clarke) protect their town of Wonderberg and set many adventures. Alongside Wonder Quest is a series named I Wonder, which are short educational videos which features an animated version of Stampy.

Today, his channel consists of Let's Plays (video game commentaries with gameplay) of different games, including Minecraft, as well as live-action series on both of his active channels.

Other projects

Books

In September 2015, Garrett has made a deal with Egmont, a publisher of children's books and magazines in the UK, to publish two books under the Stampy brand. The first book, Stampy's Lovely Book, was released on 22nd October 2015, while the second book, Stick with Stampy!, was released on 18th July 2016.

In August 2018, Garrett announced that he is working on his first novel. A series of videos dedicated to the novel's development, Book Diary, soon premiered after.

Guinness World Records

Stampy started collaborating with Guinness World Records on 3rd April 2018 when he visited their headquarters in London. During his visit, he set his world record for the "Fastest time to make and display 10 cakes in Minecraft (PC edition)", in which he succeeded with the time of 3 minutes and 51 seconds.
