Her Work
YouTube Videos
Marzia Kjellberg, whose maiden name was Bisognin, started her YouTube channel, CutiePieMarzia, on January 16, 2012. Her videos were about fashion, beauty, makeup, and DIY projects. She also shared videos about books, movies, and her daily life in vlogs. Marzia often uploaded videos about her travels and even played video games. Even though she is Italian, she spoke English in all her videos.
Marzia's YouTube channel became very popular, especially in the beauty and makeup world. Many young women, aged 13-24, watched her videos for ideas and inspiration. Marzia called her fans "Marzipans."
Marzia often appeared on her husband Felix Kjellberg's YouTube channel. Felix, known as "PewDiePie," made videos with Marzia where they played video games or did fun challenges together. In 2014, Marzia and Felix helped promote the horror movie, As above, so below. Felix's videos were about gaming, while Marzia's videos showed their trip to Paris. Similarly, ABC asked Marzia to help promote their TV show, Selfie, on YouTube.
On October 22, 2018, Marzia posted a video saying she was stopping her YouTube career. She explained that focusing on YouTube had made her feel isolated. She wanted to try "something new in her life." After her last vlog, she decided to remove most of her old videos. She said she needed to take them down to move forward. Before she stopped, her channel had almost 7.5 million subscribers.
Fashion and Design
Because her YouTube channel was so successful, Marzia started designing her own clothes. Her first fashion line came out in March 2015. After that, she created many different products, including nail polish, home decor, and more clothing lines. In 2016, she designed "Daisy" shoes. In July of that year, she launched products with Zoya, a nail polish company.
In June 2017, Marzia launched "Lemon," a clothing line that also had a special scent. On July 1, 2018, she started Maì–a, a brand for jewelry, pottery, clothes, and home decor. Marzia made the ceramic items for Maì–a by hand in her pottery studio in the UK. Both Maì–a and Tsuki Market, a clothing and home brand she owned with Felix, are now closed.
Experts in fashion liked Marzia's clothing designs. One expert said her "Amore" clothing line was "right on trend" and "timeless." Another stylist said Marzia's designs were unique because she seemed to make clothes she wanted to wear herself.
Writing Books
In January 2015, Marzia published a fantasy/horror novel for young adults. The Italian version was called La Casa Dei Sogni. The English version was named Dream House: A Novel by CutiePieMarzia.
Voice Acting
Besides making her own videos, Marzia also used her voice for animated web series. She was the voice of Carrie the Carrot in Oscar's Hotel for Fantastical Creatures. Marzia also voiced a character named Maya, who was based on her own dog, in a six-episode animated series called Pugatory.
Her Life
Marzia Bisognin was born on October 21, 1992, in Arzignano, Italy.
Her friend Daizo introduced her to Felix Kjellberg, who is known as PewDiePie online. Marzia started dating Felix in 2011 after she emailed him to say she liked his videos. She moved to Sweden to live with him in October of that year. Later, they moved to Italy, Marzia's home country, before settling in Brighton, England. They lived there with their two pug dogs, Edgar and Maya, and a hedgehog named Dogy. Many news outlets have talked about their relationship, saying that Marzia's calm personality balances Felix's energetic one.
On April 27, 2018, Marzia announced on Instagram that Felix had asked her to marry him. On August 20, 2019, they shared on social media that they were married.
