A devoted fan of the popular YouTubers, Paul brothers, Doherty’s content seems to emulate that of both Jake and Logan Paul. He is very athletic which helps him perform physical stunts for his audience. At the age of seven, he started landing successful flips. His family sometimes make appearances on his channel. His father, Mark, has done so, as well as his brother, Michael.
