Youtuber of the Week: Ben J. Pierce (KidPOV)

Youtuber+of+the+Week%3A+Ben+J.+Pierce+%28KidPOV%29

Ben J. Pierce is a lesser known youtuber, but he definitely deserves a spotlight. His channel is rapidly growing, though, and with almost 128,000 subscribers, he’s becoming more well-known in the YouTube community. Not only is he adored by his fans, but bigger YouTubers have also taken a liking to Ben. Creators like Tyler Oakley, Troye Sivan, and Connor Franta interact with him through twitter and other social medias daily, aiding in the growth of his channel.

His video style takes a more creative route, but in a goofy, non-serious way. He is most well known for his random makeup tutorials, cringey puns, and witty songs about relatability and fatherhood. While these songs are obviously jokes, he does have the potential for a serious music career. Under the name “Benny,” Ben wrote, produced, and performed the song Little Game which has reached over 4.8 million views on YouTube. This song, which came out October 25, 2014, discusses gender stereotypes and the toxicity of societal expectations. Ben directed and produced the video, and at the time was only fifteen years old. While he hasn’t released any more serious music, his presence and personality on YouTube is enough to keep a fan base around for when he does come around to it.

If you’re looking for refreshing content that’s certainly not normal (but in the best way), Ben is the guy to check out!
