Dominique Barrett, known to the world as King Vader, is a social media influencer and Youtuber known for a unique style parody videos that involves placing well-known characters into unexpected situations. His YouTube series “Hood Naruto” epitomizes this style, placing Naruto in multiple dance-off scenarios over the course of four short videos, which have racked up more than 26 million views, becoming his most watched videos to date.

Barrett first rose to online prominence after one of his skits went viral on Vine. It spread rapidly over the internet and was eventually featured Comedy Central and Tosh.0, marking the beginning of a wildly successful career in video creation. The Vine app was ultimately discontinued, but Barrett maintained his popularity on other platforms: he has 1.6 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, where his videos have garnered over 118 million total views, and another 1.5 million followers on Instagram. Barrett has a reliable network of creatives that he collaborates with in video production – this is a large part of how he maintains such a high level of consistency and quality. He also runs a YouTube channel for this creative team, entitled “Wolf Graphic,” to broadcast members’ talents, which range from acting to comedy to music production.

Barrett creates great content by bringing elements of many of his passions together: film-making, anime, music, directing, and acting. At only 22 years old, there’s no doubt that Barrett has much more in store.
