Hey
YouTube vlogger and coffee entrepreneur
She pioneered a unique editing style on YouTube characterized by zooms, on-screen text, and pauses that revolutionized vlogging and earned her recognition from Time magazine as one of the 25 most influential people on the internet.
Emma Chamberlain, born May 22, 2001, is a Gemini influencer, podcaster, businesswoman, and model who pioneered a new approach to vlogging on YouTube. She won the 2018 Streamy Award for Breakout Creator and was named to Time magazine's 100 Next list in 2019 for revolutionizing YouTube's style guide. Chamberlain launched her coffee company, Chamberlain Coffee, in 2019 and serves as an ambassador for Louis Vuitton and Cartier.
Emma Chamberlain launched her YouTube channel on June 14, 2016, while attending Notre Dame High School in Belmont, California, after her father encouraged her to find a passion outside of school. She grew up in San Mateo, California, as an only child and competed as a cheerleader with the California Allstars for five years. She left high school during her junior year after passing the California High School Exit Exam, and later received her diploma with the Class of 2024 at age 23.
Emma Chamberlain is an only child whose parents divorced when she was five, and her family experienced financial struggles during her childhood depending on commissions from her father's art. She moved from the Bay Area to Los Angeles in June 2018 and hosts the weekly podcast Anything Goes, formerly known as Stupid Genius, which won her the Best Podcaster award at the 12th Shorty Awards. Her Gemini personality shines through her versatile career as an influencer, podcaster, and businesswoman, and she is known for her authentic, self-deprecating humor and passion for coffee.
She launched Chamberlain Coffee in December 2019, turning her passion for coffee into a successful mail-order business.
Her YouTube channel reached 12 million subscribers and accumulated 1.7 billion video views by December 2025.
She formed the Sister Squad in 2018 with James Charles and The Dolan Twins, which was featured in YouTube Rewind 2018.
She has been an ambassador for Louis Vuitton since 2019 and Cartier since 2022.
She appeared on Hot Ones twice, in November 2022 and February 2024, eating increasingly spicy plant-based chicken wings while being interviewed by Sean Evans.
I think the key to being relatable is just being yourself and not trying to be someone you're not.
Coffee is my love language.
I don't want to be perfect. I want to be real.
