During his childhood, Lewis played football for one of his local teams called 'Rangers F.C.'.
He first found interest in gaming when his parents bought him a Nintendo GameCube from a car boot sale.
Lewis moved to London, England in September 2014 where he shared an apartment in the Stratford Halo tower with YouTubers Calfreezy and Callux.[1][5]
Career[edit]
Lewis created his main channel 'Wroteoshaw', on the 26th of July, 2016. Lewis created his name by a portmanteau of the footballers Nicky Wroe and Tom Bradshaw.[citation needed] He received worldwide popularity for his videos on the FIFA videogame series.[6]
In 2013, he surpassed 100 thousand subscribers.
In early 2014, Lewis joined the Sidemen a few months after its inception, first meeting member Josh Bradley at a New York gaming tournament.[7] He is the youngest member of the group and the last to join.[8][1][7]. Since 2014, the group has consisted of seven British YouTubers: Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123), Joshua Bradley (Zerkaa), Harry Lewis (W2S), Simon Minter (Miniminter), JJ Olatunji (KSI), Ethan Payne (Behzinga), and Tobi Brown (TBJZL).[9] The group produces online videos, most often consisting of challenges, sketches and video-game commentary, as well as selling exclusive Sidemen merchandise.[10][11]
In 2014, he reached 1 million subscribers and in 2017, he surpassed 10 million subscribers.
He also gained notability by collaborating with popular Portuguese football player, Cristiano Ronaldo in 2017.[12][13][14]
His video 'Kicking A Football At My Mum's Face!! (Broken Nose)' went viral in 2017. The video surfaced all around social media and appeared in various news articles.[15][16]
