Her new YouTube channel was created on February 17, 2014, and uploaded her first video on that channel (entitled "BeeFwee! (A Pokemon Parody)") on June 21, 2014.ĭespite creating her own business, she felt very anxious about her near future and very indecisive about what she should do, whether it's for applying to an animation studio or creating her own business. Though, she was encouraged by her family to make a business herself, under the name "Let Me Explain Studios". When she finished her thesis film, Bottled Opera, she graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in computer animation and a minor in business of Art and Design in 2013.Īfter graduating, she planned to return home to Texas, rework her portfolio and apply to major animation studios. She kept to an idea herself of becoming a YouTube animator or a YouTuber herself, despite the fact that people choosing the computer animation major are supposed to be applying to big studios like Pixar and DreamWorks. She rediscovered YouTube and the creators on the platform, including Dane Boe, who eventually became friends with her. In the meantime, she took her business minor classes and was confident enough to get back in the computer animation major. She passed the first semester of her sophomore year but failed her computer animation class in the second semester, where she had to wait 6 months to get back in. Her grandmother died in her sophomore year and she was struggling to learn the animation software, Maya, because of it. Despite the competition in her class, she passed the first year. She moved to Sarasota, Florida in 2008 and started her first year of computer animation school. A few months later, she got accepted into the university. She visited the campus, and initially, her portfolio got rejected by the Ringling advisor, so she decided to recreate her entire portfolio, then send it to Ringling. Rebecca showed her drawing skills to her parents, making her father convinced to send him to Ringling College of Art and Design. However, a year later, she discussed changing majors with her parents from theater to animation. Initially, she chose to major in theater and choir. She got accepted into her local private university. She created her YouTube channel in April 2006 under the name "grizabella626", then called "Rebecca Parham's Second Channel", then back to "grizabella626". She also had more time to herself and spent a lot of it on the Internet, mainly for fanart. At one point, she decided to drop out from Medusa's classes because she wasn't cast in the comedic play Noises Off (according to her My Crazy Theatre Teacher video).Īfter dropping out of her classes, she felt relieved and happier. Moreover, she didn't get along with the theater kids either. As much as she felt like she discovered her passion, she did socially have a hard time in her high school theater club because that is where she met her theater teacher. Her public school's curriculum required art credits and Rebecca chose theater and choir. She entered the forementioned high school with a total number of two thousand students, who had a different behavior and hobbies from Rebecca. She decided to change from a private middle school to a public high school in 2002 to expect less bullying problems. Moreover, she was bullied because of her body. Later, when she reached middle school where she developed major self-esteem and anxiety problems, she was bullied a lot. The kids in her class didn't really like her, demotivating Rebecca and making her more introverted. She went into a private preparatory school, which consisted of 200 students in total. She loved cartoons, and while she was young, Nickelodeon aired a behind the scenes sequence of one of their cartoons, giving her the initial idea to become an animator. In her childhood, she was creative and enjoyed putting on plays. She has an older sister named Rachel and a few years later, her little brother David was born. She was born in Texas on December 4, 1987, to Mama Parham and Mike Parham.
