VenetianPrincess

Jodie-Amy Rivera (born February 22, 1984), also known as VenetianPrincess, is a YouTuber who commonly

uploads original songs or parodies. After discovering YouTube in 2006, she then created her channel on September 4, 2006. Originally using her channel to upload audition videos, she then began upl oading home movies, a lot of which involved full-on fantasy adventures with elaborate costumes. After Google purchased YouTube in 2007, Rivera was invited to an exclusive group of YouTube partners by Google. This group generated revenue by allowing ads to run on their videos. Rivera has credited herself a "one-woman show", since she writes, films, and edits her own videos, as well as doing her own makeup and costumes. With the support of her viewers, she ended up surpassing Disney star Miley Cyrus and becoming the #1 most subscribed female in the world. This is a title she held for over 2 years, making her the longest standing female ever to hold the #1 spot. As an extension of her Youtube channel, VP owns a successful New Media Production company. In 2011, her company signed a partnership with Sony Music, and she officially became a Sony ATV artist.
