Another dinosaur of YouTube like Phil, Charlie has been on YouTube for forever. He's that cute British blond with a mole. If you're a regular to YouTube, chances are you've come across his channel Charlieissocoollike or at least have heard about him. In fact, he's such a big deal, I'm a bit intimidated to write this.Charlie McDonnell is one of the most adorable nerds you will ever see. He loves knowledge and things like Doctor Who. He's also a musician. In fact, combine music and Doctor Who and a couple other lads and you've got Chameleon Circuit.
In addition to Charlie, best friend Alex Day as well as Liam Dryden, Ed Blann, and Michael Aranda make up Chameleon Circuit. They've put out two albums, the first self-titled and the second, 'Still Got Legs.'
Besides Chameleon Circuit, Charlie was in a band called 'Sons of Admirals.' This group also had Alex Day and Ed Blann with the addition of Tom Milsom. They were and all are solo artists, but formed a group taking after the idea of Shakespeare's group of individual actors, Admiral's Sons, thus the band name came about. This group is now dismembered, but they covered songs like Cat Steven's 'Here Comes My Baby.'
Charlie also produced his own album called 'This is Me.' The album has 13 tracks, all songs Charlie wrote, performed, and recorded himself. They're songs about various things like 'A Song About Love,' 'A Song about Acne,' 'Bread,' and even 'Rhymezone.com.' Charlie also has music videos of many of these songs on his channel.
You can buy physical copies of Chameleon Circuit's albums here as well as Charlie's own here. They are also available on iTunes. You can listen to them for free on Charlie's website.
Right now, Charlie has a subscriber count of over 2,310,000 on his channel. Charlie made YouTube history by being the first UK youtuber to reach one million subscribers.
Most popular: 'My American Accent' and has almost 9.280 million views. His second most popular video, also with over 9 million views is the classic 'Duet With Myself', which is also a song on 'This is Me.'
Charlie has some video series he'll make. In addition to vlogs and music videos, there have also been 'Challenge Charlie's and 'Fun Science' videos. Charlie covers a lot of bases with his videos. I mean, he is a 'professional internet human,' so I guess he knows what he's doing.
Most recently, Charlie has been focusing on short films. He's decided to really put a lot of effort and determination into making them and has even set up challenges for him himself concerning them for this year. So far, 'The Tea Chronicles' and 'OFFLINE' are the results with more to come.
