Early Life
Darren Watkins was born on January 21st, 2005, in the state of Ohio. As a kid, he developed an interest in playing video games and doing streams. Outside of his passion for creating content, Speed spent his time playing football while growing up.
Around that time he wanted to become a professional athlete but later he turned himself into a streamer. Before focusing most of his attention on YouTube, he was involved in a job related to a nursing home where he would deliver food to seniors.
Career
In March 2016 Speed created his YouTube channel while studying in grade school. But he didn’t upload his first video until December 2017. Speed’s first video was, “{NBA 2K18} (First Video}.
In the following year, he began publishing a Fortnite live stream which only earned the attention of a few people’s attention. Following a lack of success in these early ventures, Sperd stopped uploading content and began focussing on football and studies.
It was during COVID-19 when a friend of Speed’s who was also in the streaming, convinced him to try it again. In 2020 Speed began publishing a handful of NBA 2K streams, and luckily his videos started getting views. In June 2020 the channel was averaging around 150 new sus weekly.
At the end of that year, Speed was averaging 1000 new subscribers every week. Since then Speed’s friend (the one who encouraged him to return to live streaming) stopped creating content of his own. Instead, he focussed on becoming Speed’s manager.
Breakthrough
Since he started to make videos constantly he gained recognition all around the globe. In April 2021 Speed had crossed 100,000 subs on his channel, becoming an internet sensation. From that point forward his fans continued to make memes about Speed and began uploading them on TikTok.
One of those videos did show Speed freaking out while his fan base trolled him in truly epic fashion by unsubscribing during a live stream just to get a rise out of him. When that clip went on TikTok, it wound up going incredibly viral and having the exact opposite effect.
Instead of losing subs, Speed earned himself an astounding 1.1 million subscribers on YouTube in just one week, officially making him one of the fastest-growing YouTube channels of the year. Since then his videos are earning more and more views.
Other Ventures
Outside of this, IShowSpeed also tried his hand at music including the release of his debut album, “What Else IShowSpeed.” No matter what he’s doing, Speed’s fans have followed everywhere, ensuring his continued growth and success.
He often collabs with Kai Cenat and the popular Twitch streamer, Adin Ross. His appearances on Ross’s streams have only increased his level of fame. After showing up and participating in Ross’s series, Speed was patterned with social media influencer Ash Kash.
IShowSpeed released his customized merch alongside his music videos on his website. His custom T-Shirts start from $20 and go as high as $30. While his hoodies are priced at an average of $52. IShowSpeed has a net worth of a whopping $10 Million.
