Alex Burriss

Alex Wassabi, aka Alex Burris, is one of the most celebrated YouTubers who has amassed incredible fame over the years. He was diagnosed with ADHD in middle school, making it difficult for him to focus without getting distracted. This stayed with him for the years to come and caused immense distress amongst his family and him. He had low self-esteem growing up and didn’t make friends until after he was six years old. He also announced taking a break from Youtube, saying that he felt less creative. Getting succeeded as an influencer wasn’t a cakewalk for him, and it sure did raise some eyebrows, which had him rethink his decisions.

 

 

 Behind his success lies all the lows that he stood tall against. Alex availed himself of the benefits of what he got labeled with. His short attention span and hyperactivity caused him to become resilient and creative.

His content centered around Lip-syncs, dance videos and funny videos. For the following years, he broadened his horizons on Social media by making personal videos that talk about life with his family and friends. He dropped his first music video, My side, in 2017.

His first publicly available content was a 6 second Vine video that he uploaded on the 1st of May 2013. Alex, having tested the waters of becoming famous, he and Roy launched a Youtube channel, “Wassabi Productions.” Later, Roy took a flight from this collaboration to further his gaming career.
