Educational yet fun! Isn’t that what we all need? Canadians, Mitchel Moffit and Gregory Brown post weekly videos focused on science and other stuff. They have another channel AsapTHOUGHT which which discusses multiple issues related to science. I know you might think it’s boring. But they’re really good.

She’s been at the game for a long time. At the age of 14 she started posting videos on YouTube. Slowly and gradually getting attention for her music. In 2012 she produced her very first EP ‘Handmade Songs By Tori Kelly’, in 2012 released her second EP ‘Foreward’ as her first major label release. On June 23rd 2015, she released her debut album ‘Unbreakable Smile’ which led to her hit single ‘Nobody Love’ which became her first ‘Billboard Hot 100 Appearance’. She deserves the praise and success. You must’ve heard the popular hit ‘Should’ve Been Us’. It’s a catchy, upbeat tune that’ll get you hooked. Getting eliminated from American idol is like a blessing, isn’t it?

I’m sorry, I had to save the best for last. This girl is someone who’s videos I love watching. She appeals to a bigger audience and when I mean bigger, I mean Globally! Canadian born Lilly Singh decided to make videos at a time when she was going through depression and found making videos a way to self medicate. I’d say she’s done a fantastic job in doing that as well as putting a smile on millions of fans around the world. From collaborations with Madhuri Dixit to MirandaSings, Zoella and so many other YouTubers including appearances from The Big Bang Theory’s Kunal Nayyar. This girl has seriously got her name locked down as one of the most popular yet influential personalities today in the world. Just to name a few, ‘How To Be Good Parents’, ‘How Girls Get Ready’, ‘Types Of People On Instagram’ and ‘The 6 Stages of Having A Crush’. Plus she has a tour documentary coming out called ‘A Trip To Unicorn Island’. If I had the option to keep writing about this wonderful creature I would never stop. Seriously, I wouldn’t.
