Chris Smoove Bio

Chris Smoove joined YouTube on March 19, 2006. He once jokingly mentioned in one of his video commentaries that he initially joined YouTube to look at booty shaking videos.

His channel was originally known as "Smoove7182954", but he changed it later to "Chris Smoove". His initial videos had no commentary, but he soon began to make gameplay videos with commentary, which made him immensely popular. However, it would be years before his fans will see him appear in front of the camera in person.
