Blippi / Stevin John’s Early Life
Stevin John was born on May 27, 1988, in Las Vegas. His family later moved to Ellensburg, Washington. He grew up on a rural farm surrounded by tractors, cows, and horses.
There is no public information about his family, but he completed his education upto school and never went to college.
As a teenager, he wanted to become a limousine driver and a fighter pilot, inspired by the Top Gun movie by Tom Cruise.
John was a good student, but his grades & education were not enough to make him a fighter pilot. His passion made him a C-17 series cargo plane loadmaster at the 4th Nuclear Airlift Squadron in the US air force in 2006.
As a loadmaster, he was responsible for calculating and planning cargo placements and evenly distributing the weight on the airplane.
He is a military veteran who completed his service and was honorably discharged from the air force in 2008.
After completing his service in the air force, John moved back to his hometown Ellensburg. From there, his YouTube journey started.

Blippi’s YouTube Journey
After completing his service in the US air force, John moved back to his hometown Ellensburg in 2008.
He spent time with his 2-year-old nephew watching kids’ entertainment and educational videos at home.
One thing he noticed was the low-quality children’s content on YouTube. From there, he got the idea of starting a YouTube channel and doing something in children’s education & entertainment space.
Steezy Grossman
John did not start his YouTube career from Blippi. At first, in 2013, he used to create and upload stupid and tasteless videos under the persona of Steezy Grossman.
He used to think those videos were funny. Later regretted creating such videos and had to remove them from social media and search engines.
Blippi
John started the Blippi YouTube channel in early 2014. He uploaded the first video on February 18, 2014.
He played the lead character, Blippi, wearing some blue & orange attire such as a blue & orange beanie cap, orange suspenders, blue shirts, and an orange bow tie.
The Blippi character is a childlike, funny, energetic, entertaining, and educating persona that appeals to children aged 2 through 7, even liked by their parents.
Blippi, in his videos, teaches children the alphabet, colors, how to count, educational rhymes, songs, etc.
His mother designed the costume for Blippi, and now is the trademark of John. This character was inspired by other children’s entertaining shows like Mr. Rogers.
Blippi has been described as “an adult human man who dresses up in bright clothes and dances around America’s deserted soft play centers for the benefit of YouTube.”
YouTube as a Business and How Much He Made From It.
In the beginning, John learned filmmaking and used to create, edit and upload his videos himself. He did not hire a team until his videos went viral.
His video took off and garnered millions of subscribers and billions of views. Once he achieved a billion views, he hired a team.
His team helped him to dub his videos in other languages, such as Spanish. He expanded his empire and launched ‘Blippi Toys.’
Later, he launched his toys, merchandise, and DVDs, which earned millions in revenue.
-One of his successful toys was ‘My Buddy Blippi,’ which recites John’s 15 best catchphrases.
-His DVD collection is available on Amazon for $1.99/episode or $59.99/season.
–Hulu charges a $5.99/month subscription to watch his videos.
-He sells his merchandise through Walmart, from $3.99 to $19.99.
His single video, ‘Blippi learns about jungle animals,’ has over a billion views and made him $7 million in ad revenue.
His other video, Videos for toddlers with Blippi | Learn colors and numbers, has half a billion views and made him $3.5 million in ad revenue.
Channel’s Acquisition
John’s channel grew at its best speed, from 3 million subscribers in 2018 to almost 20 million by 2024.
In 2020, Moonbug Entertainment Ltd acquired his channel and Cocomelon channel(Children’s educator and entertainer).
The deal’s amount was undisclosed but estimated to be more than $100 million. Considering Cocomelon is a bigger brand than Blippi, John did not get a 9-figure deal.
Still, he most likely received a deal worth tens of millions.
Moonbug collaborated with POPS to bring the show to the POPS kids app. In 2021, Moonbug was sold to two former Disney co-executives for $3 billion, and Netflix bought the streaming rights of Blippi in January 2022.
