Mario Ngjeliu (born 15 December 2001) known online as Mariostrek, is an Albanian motion designer. Originally from Durres, Albania. He began his career in Durres and still currently based there. He is the first Albanian Motion Designer to upload his work on YouTube.

PERSONAL LIFE

Mario was born in Durres, Albania. His father emigrated on Greece when he was just 5, making his family life harder. His sister and brother were his only bestfriends. He used to stay with his sister all the time, because his brother was working very young, getting only 200$ a month which was his only family profit. Mario's mother got sick, so she couldn't get up from bed for years. Mario's brother, Albano, bought a computer, which Mario used to stay all day. He found out about motion designing in YouTube when he was just 12. Mario wanted to do that by himself so he started training. The computer was super slow, but he still managed to do some impressive work. After a while he built an audience. He started growing, earning money, and eventually getting a new computer setup for his future work. His first channel got hacked in 2014, he had almost 1k subscribers. He created a new one and got his old videos uploaded, some of them of course. He got back at 1k subscribers after excactly one year, which was quite impressive at the time.

ONLINE CAREER

After all that success he was getting, he said that he wanted a break from everything, so he did. He took one year break from everything online, making his audience very angry and inactive. He came back in the beginning of 2018 and a month after he came back, he made 100,000 views, which is insane. Mario got a lot of emails from big companies on Albania and internationally to get some of his work. He also has other social media. His instagram has 3300+ active followers, getting 1000+ likes and story views in every post. His twitter has 700+ followers, eventhough he doesn't use twitter too much, he still has a small fanbase in there.
