Alexander Burriss Bio

Alex Burriss and Roi Fabito first met in middle school in Durham, North Carolina. They used to live in the same neighborhood. They attended high school together and became best friends. In 2005, Roi wanted to make videos with his friends and asked Alex if he was interested. Alex said yes and that’s how Wassabi Productions began! YouTube was born in 2006 and they uploaded their videos to share with their family and friends. These videos were liked not just by their family and friends, but also the general public, and they became popular in a short time. Burriss and his friend make lip-sync, dance, and funny videos.

On April 7, 2012, Wassabi introduced two new characters called 'Rolanda' and 'Richard' who both debuted in the ‘Call Me Maybe’ parody, which received millions of views in two years! From there on, their YouTube channel gained over millions of subscribers and billions of views. Alex and Roi traveled to Los Angeles, Florida, and other parts of the world meeting fans, doing shows, and pursuing adventurous activities. They also decided to produce weekly videos and post them on Wassabi Wednesdays. Their objective was to make people laugh and inspire Wassabians. Alex Burriss has not limited himself to just YouTube. He has worked in movies like ‘The Duff,’ ‘Laid In America,’ and ‘This Is How We Never Made Out.’ Fabito is not a part of Wassabi Productions anymore. He left to pursue his individual goals and the YouTube channel is now completely handled by Alex. He also uploads a lot of videos featuring his girlfriend.

Alex Burriss is one of the most popular and funny guys out there, whose videos are genuinely funny and hilarious. His videos and statements actually make you laugh till it hurts in the belly! The fact that he is a handsome guy helps his case a lot considering the fact that majority of his fan following consists of women. Since he is very popular on Vine and Twitter as well, it makes him one of the most successful Internet stars. Another quality that works in his favour and makes people love him is the fact he gets exactly what this generation finds funny and develops and produces his videos accordingly. In other words, he has his finger on this generation’s pulse!

Alex Burriss was born in Montana but raised in Lexington, Kentucky. He is very close to his siblings, two brothers (who are also YouTubers) and a sister. In 2015, he began dating fellow YouTuber Lauren Riihimaki.
