The duo made numerous successful videos on the channel throughout their high school years, accumulating millions of views. He and Brittany moved to Los Angeles together in 2011 to persue their YouTube careers. On July 9th, 2012, Joey officially announced his departure from WinterSpringPro in order to focus on his personal channel.

Joey has also released an album with Luke Conard and Meghan Camarena a.k.a strawburry17 on YouTube. The album includes Hunger Games inspired songs.Joey is also known for his love for the Hunger Games and he always ends his videos with "may the odds be ever in your favor, gooodbye!" Joey is well-known for his popular vlogging channel "JoeyGraceffa" in which he updates almost daily with vlogs that occasionally include other popular YouTubers. Joey also works with TEEN.com, and appeared on "The Click Clique" and "Eff Yeah! I Want That" on YouTube. Joey had a new show on TEEN.com called, Joey's Dystopia. The show ended when TEEN.com began their new schedule of shows in May 2013.As of 2013, Joey was living with his friends and a couple Anthony Padilla (smosh) and Kalel (kalelkitten), but moved in with Sawyer Hartman (YouTube username is namely), so he would have more room.

Videos
Joey's videos are mostly vlog based but he also does tag videos and challenges with other YouTubers. Joey has an upcoming webseries called Storytellers. He has stated on Twitter that the kickstarter made it halfway.

AwesomenessTV
Joey doesn't only work along side Meghan on Teen.com, he works with AwesomnessTV with JennxPenn & Lia Marie Johnson another amazing youtube channel where they do sketches to cheerleading programs. However, from the 1st July the channel will have there own slot on Nickelodeon!!

It'll air at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) Hosted by Daniella Monet from the program Victorious.

Kickstarter : Storytellers
STORYTELLERS is Skins meets Are You Afraid of the Dark? – the summer before they leave for college, a group of unlikely friends gathers around a campfire to tell scary stories, and what begins as joking fun grows steadily more frightening. As the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, our group of storytellers ultimately discover more than they bargained for about their world...and each other.

Part coming-of-age story and part episodic horror series with plenty of light touches of comedy, STORYTELLERS plays with familiar tropes and archetypes in fresh, unexpected ways. Following a Skins-esque format, the series will have seven episodes, with each of the first six centering around a specific member of the group, leading up to a final episode bringing all of them—and their stories—together.

Joey created a page for people to donate money to make this project happen and people could get prizes when donating. Joey has been tweeting with his buddies Luke Conard about both of their Kickstarter pages because Luke started his page so on the 23rd of June 2013 Luke and Joey decided to do a live Youtube video with Whitney and Catrific to try to get there campaigns up. For the video they kept setting goals for when they got to 100,000 or over they were going to prank call Shane Dawson who was actually watching the show. However, during the call they had actually gotten over 118,000 which is 18,000 more than what they needed. However people keep backing out of their money so this means Joey's amount could possibly drop lower than 100,000 which makes the Kickstarter not happen.

As July 10th, 2013 the Kickstarter reached its goal and surpassed it by 40,000. Overall, the total is a little over $140,000. Filming should start around late July or early August. However, Joey announced in a vlog on July 11th, 2013 that there were difficulties receiving all of the money from the Kickstarter, and the status of the project is now unclear.
