Bio
The huge community of YouTube creators generated the entertainers of the new level. They start making videos just for fun, just because they have some message for this world, but then it turns into their profession, their calling, and their main goal. Drew Gooden is one of them.

Then he registered on Vine, and that platform brought him the recognition and creative inspiration. His first Vine video was named “If you’re serious about mayonnaise”.
In 2017 Vine was closed, and that was a kind of a personal tragedy for Drew Gooden. But he found the way out – he registered on YouTube. And he is a YouTube star as of now!
