The Meteoric Rise to Stardom
All through schooling Brian didn’t fare too well. His parents were strict about his education, hence he scraped through to the next grade, but he wanted to take up a unique career rather than live a mundane life. He began watching YouTube videos during high school. But it was not until May 2011 that he joined YouTube. His first video was titled ‘Crazy Black Man.’
Initially he didn’t get many subscribers, but as he continued to pay attention and improve his content, he started gaining fans overnight. While he was in college, his account suddenly began receiving large subscriptions, first in hundreds and then in thousands per day. With his gaining popularity, his family began to support him too and he gave up his day job at ‘Subway’ and at the supermarket ‘Super Value’ to focus on his YouTube career.
It was astonishing for him to get such great feedback by doing what he loved most, i.e. gaming. He left college in his third year, since his new job demanded more attention. However, he doesn’t recommend dropping out of college unless one has a purpose, as making that decision for himself was tough. Fortunately, because of his success, he doesn’t regret the decision he took. He also joined the Vanoss’ crew and collaborates with MiniLad in many videos.

Family & Personal Life
The Terroriser was born as Brian Hanby to Irish folks in Dublin. He was a cute baby, and went to regular school.

He took up side jobs to help finance his family and education. At around the same time, his YouTube career took off. Initially he was afraid of letting his parents know that he was contemplating dropping out of college. Yet somehow, he managed to break the news.
