Who is Drew Phillips?
American social media star and YouTuber Drew Phillips was born under the zodiac sign Pisces on 4 March 1998, in Texas USA. He’s probably only known for his presence on the internet, including his self-titled YouTube channel, which he created on 24 July 2013, and which is today subscribed to by close to 500,000 people; Drew’s posted 108 videos, and all of these together have amassed over 38 million views. Most of his content features him during his everyday life, whether he’s going out to eat with friends, travelling around the world, or taking on various internet challenges.
Early life and education
Drew was raised in Texas alongside his brother Samuel Cole Phillips, by their mother Pam and father Bob Phillips; not many details have been disclosed about Drew’s family because he respects their privacy, but it’s known that his brother was murdered on 26 June 2020. It’s believed that Drew’s father’s a businessman and philanthropist, and that his mother’s a high school teacher, but this is yet to be addressed by Drew.
He studied at a local high school in Texas, and was passionate about various activities during his time there, mostly into acting with the school’s drama club, playing soccer and taking creative writing lessons. He was still attending high school when he launched his social media accounts, including on the now-defunct social media network Vine; it was on Vine that Drew became famous, and after it was shut down, he focused on other networks.
Drew matriculated in 2016, and it’s believed that he then enrolled at college, from which he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2020; this is yet to be confirmed by Drew.

Love life and relationships
Drew’s yet to talk about his love life on the internet, and because he’s quite close to his best friend Enya Umanzor, and has featured her in most of his YouTube videos, many of Drew’s fans believe that the two are romantically linked, so fans might be disappointed by the fact that Drew and Enya aren’t in a relationship.
