Stampylonghead was created on July 29, 2011 as a side-channel for his vlogs and console gameplay channel. The first time, and for a while the only series of videos he uploaded to his channel were Minecraft videos set in Stampy's Lovely World, an old series that he has continued to carry on and has built hundreds of attractions to the land like houses, shops and even minigames and rides in his 'Stampy's Funland'. He has also recently appeared in various Children's TV shows, such as Diddy TV and APPsolute genius both from CBBC and has even been on the news about certain places he goes such as Minecon.

Early Life
Joseph Garrett was born in Hampshire, England, on December 13, 1990. He grew up with his two older sisters. As a kid, his favorite subject in school was science, and he loved video games. He once said, "I was usually one of the quieter kids in lessons, but I still liked to joke around!". His hobbies were books and magic, and was also in to Pokemon. When he was in high-school, he discovered his passion for making videos. It started out with him and his friends filming each other doing silly stunts, but eventually starting to make short fictional stories. He also made animations.

Adulthood
In college and university, he studied video production and got a degree in film and television production. He co-hosted a student radio show. He said, "I was pretty awful, but it helped my ability to speak unscripted". In this time, he worked as a barman in a local pub, which helped him build up his confidence. He had to speak to new people and deal with stressful situations. This is when he started playing Minecraft, and he uploaded Let's Play videos to YouTube. When his videos became popular, he quit his job as a barman to work on the videos full-time.

Personal Life
Joseph Garrett met Bethany Bates, also known as Sqaishey Quack. They currently live together, with a cat named Ori, a dog named Alyx, and a bird.

iBallisticSquid
IBallisticSquid (commonly referred to as Squid) is one of Stampy's old best friends and makes videos with him such as Quest, Challenges, Crazy Craft, Pixelmon, Race to the Moon, and Adventure Maps. He and Stampy also own a joint channel MagicAnimalClub where they currently do podcasts but used to do vlogs and BTS clips and Stampy has recently made a new channel called 'Let's Cress ' which hasn't been active very recently but appeared after a Quest episode where it was said by Stampy very mistakenly "Let's Cress" instead of "Let's Quest". This led up to them joking on about how it sounded like a random cooking channel and Stampy said after the video he was going to make it a thing. Squid didn't believe him but it was announced on his Twitter that a new channel was in development. On this channel he uploaded a series of videos about, you guessed it, cress!

Sqaishey Quack
Sqaishey Quack (Sqaishey) is another one of Stampy's best friends. In real life, Sqaishey is Stampy's girlfriend. Stampy collaborates with Sqaishey in many videos like the den series (sky den, cave den and more recently, ocean den), Super Happy Fun Time, and Super Mario Maker.

"Stampy is not gay" videos
On October 16, 2013, a YouTube user by the name of 'Reece Dillon' uploaded a video where he talked about Stampy in a negative way. The title of the video was "Stampy is gay". This caused the Stampy's fans to get really angry and they started videos entitled "Stampy is not gay". In these videos, they criticised Dillon for talking about Stampy in a negative way. Every person that uploaded these videos were children. Eventually, it got to the point where Reece's channel was taken down.
