Early life[edit]
Roberts was born in Salisbury, Wiltshire to a British father and Filipino mother who is native to the island of Cebu. He is a duel citizen of the Philippines and the UK. Growing up he spoke a mixture of Cebuano and English. He rapidly forgot Cebuano at the age of 4 after his mother was discouraged by his primary school teacher. In 2006 at the age of 12 and after being inspired by YouTube vloggers KevJumba and Charlie McDonnell, Roberts bought a webcam with £10 he received for his birthday to pursue making YouTube videos.[9]
He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Film Production and from the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, Surrey in 2017. [7] He now is based in London, UK.
