Career

Grandayy began his online career in April 2007 on Dailymotion as Monsieur Dream, posting comedic podcasts and illustrations. He joined YouTube in 2007 with his channel grande1899, initially uploading Runescape videos before gaining traction in 2011 with Minecraft note block covers of songs like Deadmau5’s “Strobe.” On July 2, 2014, he created his second channel, Grandayy, which became his primary platform. His first meme, posted on March 18, 2013, was a Half-Life 3 parody using Interstellar clips. His 2016 “We Are Number One” mashup with Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” went viral, boosting his popularity.

By August 7, 2018, Grandayy became the first Maltese YouTuber to reach 1 million subscribers, earning a YouTube Gold Play Button. His channels, Grandayy (2.8 million subscribers) and grande1899 (811,000 subscribers), have amassed over 933 million and 71 million views, respectively, by 2025. Known for parodies like “Bitch Lasagna, Witch Savanna” and “Congratulations” with ReptileLegit, he collaborated on PewDiePie’s 2018/2019 YouTube Rewind remakes.

His music, including original tracks like “Sunrise” with Tom Spander, is available on Spotify, iTunes, and Deezer. In 2021, Kanye West sampled his “Globglogabgalab” meme in Donda’s “Remote Control,” prompting a playful comment about suing, though no legal action was confirmed.

Since March 2023, Grandayy has worked as a junior game developer at Anvil Game Studios, contributing features like explosion knockback and music to Holdfast: Nations at War. His programming skills, sparked by learning Minecraft redstone, have enhanced his game development work, with posts on X in July 2025 discussing pixel alignment and game updates.

He suggested the “Minecraft Monday” concept to Keemstar, hosting creators like PewDiePie and James Charles, and played Among Us with PewDiePie in a 2020 livestream, winning rounds as an impostor. An outspoken critic of the EU’s Article 13, he warned in 2019 that it could “kill the internet” by enabling automated censorship, impacting creators’ livelihoods. Currently, he balances game development with meme content, maintaining a strong presence on TikTok (3.2 million followers) and Instagram (1.4 million followers).
