David Julian Dobrik (born July 23, 1996) is a Slovak born YouTube personality known for being the de facto leader of the popular YouTube ensemble, The Vlog Squad. He started his career on Vine before creating his own YouTube channel at the end of 2014.[1] His vlog-type videos often features his friends and fellow viners such as Liza Koshy, Gabbie Hanna, Jason Nash and many others. His main channel has since reached over 10 million subscribers and has won Dobrik and company numerous awards.[citation needed]

Early life[edit]

Dobrik was born in Košice, Slovakia in 1996. His family moved to Vernon Hills, Illinois, an affluent suburb of Chicago, at a young age.[2] Dobrik is protected under DACA.[3] In his college years, he moved to Los Angeles to boost his vine career.

Dobrik has three siblings named Ester, Sara, and Toby.[4]

Career[edit]

2013-2016: Vine & YouTube beginnings[edit]

In 2013, Dobrik uploaded his first vine. He often collaborated on vines with other popular viners such as Lizzza, The Gabbie Show, Jason Nash, Zane & Heath, and many others. Before starting his own YouTube channel, Dobrik was part of the YouTube group, Second Class, along with other YouTubers. By the end of that channel in 2015, Dobrik and company had gained over 18,000 subscribers.[5] The end of Second Class came not long after Dobrik set up his personal YouTube channel, David Dobrik. In a constant series of vlogs, Dobrik featured many of his former vine collaborators in his videos. In August 2016, Dobrik created his second channel, David Dobrik Too, where he often posts blooper reels and challenge videos.[6]

2017-present: YouTube and "The Vlog Squad"[edit]

Dobrik gained fans in recent years due to his high energy videos that he posts three days a week.[7] In 2017, Dobrik won Vlogger of the Year at the Ninth Annual Shorty Awards.[8] In 2018, Dobrik won First Person at the 2018 Streamy Awards while The Vlog Squad won Best Ensemble Cast under the name "David's Vlog".[9] Dobrik was named one of the "10 Social Media Personalities Making the Most Noise" for 2018 by PAPER Magazine alongside Bretman Rock, Trisha Paytas and Jaboukie Young-White among others.[10]

He has many different endeavours and income sources other than his main vlogs.[citation needed] He has a podcast titled 'VIEWS' with fellow YouTuber Jason Nash with occasional features from Joe Vulpis and Natalie Mariduena.[11]

The term "The Vlog Squad" was originally coined by fans of Dobrik's vlogs. It refers to the friend group that appears in his vlogs, therefore there is no actual membership. With that being said, naturally, several friends have come and gone, but many sources give a list of the biggest names and most constant appearances as the recurring members. [12][13] Dobrik acts as the center and de facto leader of the group, seeing that the group is often mainly driven and brought together by him. Those who make regular appearances in his videos and are considered to be a part of the "Vlog Squad" by fans are, among others, Liza Koshy, Mukbang Queen Trisha Paytas, From Drake and Josh - Josh Peck, Jason Nash (45 yrs old), Hadiya Hijazi’s older brother Zane Hijazi, Florida’s Hillbilly Heath Hussar, Too Much Scotty Sire, Ugh it’s Joe Vulpis, Hottie Toddy Smith, Vernon Hills Original Alex Ernst, The Matt King and The Statan Island Stud Jeff to name a few.

Many other YouTuber and internet personalities have made guest appearances including Casey Neistat, Jeffree Star[14][15], Tana Mongeau[16], The Dolan Twins, Emma Chamberlain, Logan Paul, Elle Mills, Anastasia Karanikolaou known online as Stassiebaby and Olivia Jade among others. Many celebrities have also been featured in Dobrik’s vlogs, such as John Stamos[17], Kendall Jenner[18], Kaia Gerber[19], and Howie Mandel[20]. Dobrik also often features his friends from his hometown of Vernon Hills, including his assistant Natalie Mariduena.

Personal life[edit]

Dobrik dated fellow YouTube personality Liza Koshy from late 2015 to early 2018, revealing their break-up in June 2018. The two have since remained close friends, as seen in their social accounts.[21][22]

In an interview with WIRED, he stated that he speaks Slovak and can interpret Hungarian.[23]
