His sister, Netty Plays–real name–Annette Littlewood (née Garrett), is also a content creator on YouTube whose videos usually consist of Let’s Play videos and vlogs.

“I did pretty well in primary school and was happy with my close group of friends,” Garrett said in his video Build My Life – 8 Million Subscribers Special. “I was usually one of the quieter children in lessons, but I still love to joke around.”
During high school, Joseph found his love for making videos.
“It started with my friends and me just filming each other doing silly stunts but eventually, we got more creative and started to act out short fictional stories or fake documentaries,” he said.
Stampy has a degree in TV and video production from Southampton Solent University. During college, he worked as a barman in a local pub.

In 2006, Joseph created his first YouTube channel.
“I started making YouTube videos basically because I watched a lot of them, and I thought that is something that I’d like to do,” Stampy recalled in 2021. “I like making videos, I like playing video games, I’ve also done a student radio show at uni, I like speaking into microphones, and I thought that I might as well combine them all together and just sort of contributing my little bit to YouTube.”
In July 2011, Garrett created his second YouTube channel and started doing Let’s Play videos of Minecraft. It has been described as being a cross between Mr Rogers and Pee-Wee Herman.
