One of the internet's first 'lifecasters', broadcasting her life on webcam before YouTube existed — then a viral 300-page paper phone bill in 2007 turned Justine Ezarik into one of tech's longest-running YouTube voices.

About iJustine: American Tech YouTuber & Podcaster

Justine Ezarik grew up in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, the daughter of a physical education teacher and a coal miner, and started out doing graphic design and video editing after technical college. In 2006 she began 'lifecasting' — broadcasting her day-to-day life continuously from a webcam on Justin.tv — and became one of the platform's best-known faces. Her viral break came in 2007 with a video unboxing and joking about a 300-page paper AT&T bill for her first-month iPhone usage, which turned into national news coverage. She relocated from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles in late 2008 and has built her channel, iJustine, around consumer tech reviews, gaming and lifestyle content ever since, alongside television guest spots on shows including Law & Order: SVU, Criminal Minds and the YouTube Premium series Escape the Night. She signed with UTA in 2013 and now also co-hosts the podcast Same Brain.
