What does she do? So far the content of her videos has not been the point: She makes cupcakes or tries her hand at sewing.
Chamberlain was born in San Bruno, California, on May 22, 2001. An only child, her parents divorced when she was five. She began watching YouTube when she was six "to connect with other people and see what they were up to," she said."And weirdly enough, it felt like I had friends that were cool, and it was people that I maybe admired."
One of the early videos Chamberlain posted on her private friends-and-family Instagram - her finsta - was her reaction to a take-home chemistry test. She was one of the younger students in a very rigorous class. They were assigned an online test. Chamberlain spent three hours on it, but when she pressed submit, the website glitched and her completed test was lost. She found out later that everybody else in her class had found an answer key online.
Her father, Michael John Chamberlain, drove out to the San Francisco Bay for a talk. They talked for an hour and, he said that he told her,"I was like basically, you know what, you've got to find something outside of school that you're excited about."It's been two years. Chamberlain now has 8 million YouTube followers. She brought in the editing tricks that first set her friends and family rolling on the floor, but now they take longer to perfect.
"It messed with my head a little bit when people started to imitate what I was doing," Chamberlain said."Although I was flattered, absolutely flattered. And also, the way I film and edit, it's really fun, and so I'm glad that other people have found inspiration in that and have taken that and done what they can with it. I think that that's great. But at times it can be kind of uninspiring, and that's no one's fault but my own.
Chamberlain's parents have supported her unconventional choices, like dropping out of school in the beginning of her junior year and moving to Los Angeles to live by herself while still a teenager. She says that they were and are her best friends."I just want her to be healthy and happy," her father said."Her mum and I are not dance parents. My feeling is, and I tell her this often, you can walk away from this at any time.
