Career
KevJumba was well-known for his amusing YouTube videos. His audience grew when his “I Have to Deal With Stereotypes” video was published on YouTube’s home page. He discusses the preconceptions he faces as an Asian-American in this video.
During his junior year in high school, KevJumba began uploading videos to YouTube. On February 26, 2008, the Los Angeles Times compared his audiences to the web series Quarterlife. He was a “semi-well-known YouTube blogger” at the time, with 450,000 views on a video about how he broke his shin.
Quarterlife, which NBC picked up, had only 100,000 MySpace views and 50,000 YouTube views. By May 29, 2008, KevJumba had become one of three East Asians under the age of 21 to be among the top five most subscribed users on YouTube, with 187,000 subscribers and over 5.9 million views.
By June 5, 2008, he was the most subscribed comedian on YouTube and the third most subscribed uploader overall. Ella Koon, Jessica Alba, and Baron Davis responded to KevJumba‘s videos.

Baron Davis began the competition by challenging KevJumba, who then challenged Jessica Alba, who responded to the challenge. He began performing with Yesterday, Today, Forever (YTF) and other YouTube personalities in 2011.
On October 9, 2011, the group held its first concert in Honolulu, Hawaii. KevJumba began starring in YouTube videos on a new channel called YOMYOMF in June 2012. He has his show called KevJumba Takes All.
