Alex Wassabi

Alex Burriss was born in Montana, U.S.A before moving to North Carolina, where he met his best friend Roi Fabito (Wassabi).

He began to make videos with Roi, using their parent's camera, before YouTube even existed. They joined YouTube on January 25, 2006, accidently naming the channel: Wassabi Productions, meaning to be named after the condiment, they later decided to keep the typo.

The oldest video on the channel is one called: Dancing With WASSABI! where Alex and Roi are seen comically teaching the audience how to dance.

In 2016, Roi decided it was time to leave the channel to focus on his personal one, Gauva Juice. Before he left, a video posted to the channel titled: Goodbye, Roi Wassabi, which was heartwarming yet hilarious in all the right ways.

Even without Roi, the channel mangaged to thrive and is now Alex's main channel where he posts daily vlogs at 3pm PT.

In early 2018, Alex changed the name of the change to: Wassabi, signaling the end of an era and marked a new beginning.
