Joey grew up in his hometown, with an older sister Nicole, and his half-brother, Jett, from his mother’s second marriage. Joey had a tough childhood since his mother succumbed to alcoholism during his teen years. He went to Marlborough High School, from which he matriculated in 2009, and then enrolled at Fitchburg State College, where he studied film but left studies after only one year since his YouTube career had already taken a turn in the right direction.
It was in 2007 that Joey started his YouTube career; he teamed up with his high school friend, Brittany to upload a video on the channel WinterSpringPro, before eventually starting his own self-titled channel two years later, on which he started uploading videos of his daily life, and in no time gained a massive following, which only encouraged him to continue with his YouTube career. In 2012 he started another YouTube channel, this one dedicated to video games; he films himself playing games such as Minecraft, among others. Nowadays, he has more than 2.3 million subscribers on his gaming channel, while his videos have reached a total of more than 450 million views, which have significantly increased his wealth, but his main resource is his first channel that he uses as a vlog, which now has over 8.3 million subscribers with more than 1.5 billion views.
His main channel expanded over the years and it doesn’t just feature vlog videos, but also a web series “Storytellers”, and several other projects, such as short films “Eon”, Ethereal” and others, all of which have added to his net worth. Most recently, he has been serving as the host of the YouTube Red series “Escape the Night”, and also portraying The Savant in the series, which won him the Streamy Award in the category Best Ensemble Cast, while in 2014, he won the Streamy Award in the category Best Male Actor in a Dramatic Web Series, for his involvement in the web series “Storytellers”.
Joey has also launched a career as a musician; with his band The Tributes, he has released three EPs – “Panem’s Best” (2012), “Good Songs” (2014) and “Cheese is Creamy” (2015), the sales of which have increased his wealth to a large degree.
Joey is also an accomplished author; back in 2015, he published his autobiography “In Real Life: My Journey to a Pixelated World”, while in 2016 he published his first fiction book, a young adult novel “Children of Eden”, written with the help of Laura L. Sullivan. He also authored the sequel “Elites of Eden”, published in 2017, – all have added to his net worth.
Regarding his personal life, Joey is openly gay and has been in a relationship with Daniel Preda since July 2014. The couple resides in Los Angeles, California.
