YouTubers rarely come more popular than Alia Shelesh. Under the alias of SSSniperWolf, she has built an audience of more than 33 million subscribers, based largely on her talent for brilliant, engaging gaming and reaction videos. In the first 10 years of her channel’s life, her content has been watched a mind-blowing 22.7 billion times. She is also closing in on 19 million TikTok followers and has millions of followers across all the other major social platforms.

Shelesh was born in Liverpool in 1992 and is of Greek and Turkish descent. When she was still very young, her family relocated to the United States, and she has remained there ever since. She initially launched her YouTube channel to focus on Call of Duty (she has been gaming since she was six years old), but her content expanded over the years as her audience grew, and today, some of her most popular videos include her trying out various life hacks as well as reaction and challenge videos and general vlog content.

Over the years, Shelesh has partnered with some of the biggest brand names in the world, including Disney and EA. She has collaborated with other YouTube heavyweights such as Dhar Mann and was presented with a Diamond YouTube Creator Award. She was also nominated for the Favourite Gamer Award at the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards in 2020. With a follower count that outstrips the population count of many countries, Shelesh is firmly established as one of YouTube’s favourite stars.
