Mikey Murphy Bio

Back when Mikey started the channel for his school project, he got a lot of criticism from his classmates which eventually made him drop out of school. That never stopped him from pursuing his dreams of being an actor/YouTube personality. As he says in one of his videos, he enjoyed social interactions on his channel. He then met Luke Korn who also has a YouTube channel called, UncleKornicob at the Playlist Live event and they both made a lot of videos together, ranging from challenges to pranks. After Mikey moved to Los Angeles, he is working on with Jonah Green and is represented by talent representation companies like, Big Frame and Creative Artists Agency. His channel has accumulated over 1.6 million subscribers. 

Although Mikey is younger than most YouTube stars, he manages to produce content appropriate for most age groups. In his Draw My Life video, he says that he started talking and walking before he was 1 year old which can be why he is mature enough to provide consistent and well-accepted content. Mikey wasn’t a professional when he started off with vlogging his everyday life with people online but he now creates vividly-creative videos making use of some really innovative camera angles. He is also known to be working with consumer-based companies like M&Ms and BurgerKing.

Mikey has over 50 thousand followers on Vine and 564k followers on Instagram. As a triburte to their earlier days on YouTube, Luke Korn and Mikey launched a compilation of their favorite songs on itunes and the album is called From the stories we tell. 

Mikey Murphy was born on May 12, 1998 in New Jersey, to Monica and Michael. His mother is a nurse and his father is an Occupational Therapist at a special school for kids. He has a sister called Sydney who is two years younger than him. As he mentions in one of his vlogs, Sydney and Mikey didn’t get along well during childhood but they support each other in all things at this point. His was in a relationship with another famous YouTuber, Griffin Arnlund. They were together since September 2015 and mutually ended their relationship during the last quarter of 2016.
