While at University, Stampy studied Video Production and received a degree in Film and Television Production. These videos were mostly created through claymation, and his channel name is a reference to a character who appeared in these shorts. His first videos mainly consisted of him and his friends filming each other performing silly stunts, but eventually, he began to independently create videos of short fictional stories. When he was in high school, he discovered his passion for making videos. Of his school experience, he said: "I was usually one of the quieter kids in lessons, but I still liked to joke around!" His hobbies were reading and practicing Magic, and he was also interested in Pokémon. As a child, he developed a passion for video games, and his favorite academic subject was science. He was raised there with his two older sisters. Joseph Garrett was born in Hampshire, England, on December 13, 1990. Stampy's birth date had been known previously due to a Q&A on ABC News, and another at Minecon in 2013. Stampy's birth date has been mentioned in his videos, in addition, fellow YouTuber and frequent collaborator iBallisticSquid has also mentioned that he was celebrating Stampy's birthday in one of his own Crazy Craft episodes. Stampy has since built hundreds of contraptions in the world, such as Houses, Shops, Minigames, and Rides in 'Stampy's Funland.' Aside from Minecraft, he also creates Let's Play videos on other family-friendly video games, most notably Terraria and Minecraft: Story Mode. Among the first videos he uploaded to this channel were Minecraft videos set in Stampy's Lovely World, the first world he ever created in Minecraft, and the world which has become home to his longest-running and most consistently popular series. His Stampylonghead channel was originally created on July 29, 2011, as a side-channel for his vlogs and console gameplay. He also has other channels such as Wonder Quest (with Maker Studios), MagicAnimalClub (with iBallisticSquid) and Let's Cress. His original channel is stampylongnose, however, since 2012 he has been uploading content primarily to his current main channel, stampylonghead (Garrett still prefers to be called Stampy).
