Career
His career started when he was only 15 years old when he started up his first YouTube Channel in September 2006 when he began doing different videos doing silly things with his friends. Still, his ambition was not yet achieved. He started his Minecraft series in May 2012, when it was released on Xbox360. He realized he was gaining more viewers as his time went on. Suddenly, he met a man called David Spencer, who has been his gaming partner since January 2013.
He didn't expect to do the quantity that he is doing with David, so that was a surprise. Suddenly, on December 2, 2013, Joseph's YouTube channel sadly stopped. Awareness was made, and later that day, the YouTube account was restored.
