KSI initially started as a gaming YouTuber in 2009, showing clips of him playing the soccer video game FIFA. He continued to produce gaming videos, although he started to branch out into vlog-style uploads. His channel grew quickly, and he reached three million subscribers by the end of 2013-14. He currently has the 115th most popular channel on YouTube, in terms of subscribers, with 20.5 million. His popularity also grew as he and other British entertainers formed the entertainment collective Ultimate Sidemen (it would later just be called Sidemen). He continued to create videos like he used to, but within a group to help each creator expand their online presence.
As KSI continued to get more popular, he branched out into a music career, and he has seen a lot of success in the United Kingdom. His debut song "Lamborghini" reached No. 30 on the UK singles chart. His debut EP "Keep Up" went to No. 1 on the UK R&B Albums Chart. He has continued to release music and has even gone on tour to promote his songs.
