Jake Joseph Paul (born January 17, 1997) is an actor and popular YouTube daily vlogger. His surge to fame started on the now discontinued video hosting service, Vine, where he and his older brother, Logan Paul, would frequently post looping six-second comedic sketches for their followers.

Right after (or even months before) Vine’s demise, many Viners dispersed themselves to different social media platforms, including YouTube. This was not an exception for Jake Paul. Since he already had a mass following of over five million followers on Vine, plus the followers from his other social media platforms, he easily gained popularity on YouTube, where he uploads daily vlogs. When Vine was officially discontinued in early 2017, Jake Paul experienced a surge in viewership. Along with the miraculous amounts of views, criticism has followed. He has been known to pull insane and sometimes flat out stupid stunts and pranks.

His musical popularity began and skyrocketed after the release of “It’s Everyday Bro”. Almost overnight, the music video went viral. Since its May 30, 2017 release, the music video has accumulated over 160 million views on YouTube.

In 2019 he announced he would begin making beats.
