Her YouTube Journey
Marzia Kjellberg started her YouTube channel, CutiePieMarzia, on 16 January 2012. Her videos were all about fun topics like fashion, beauty, and makeup. She also shared DIY projects, talked about books and movies, and made vlogs about her daily life. Marzia often showed her shopping trips in haul videos and even played video games. Even though she is Italian, she always spoke English in her videos.
Marzia's YouTube channel grew very popular, especially in the beauty and makeup world. In May 2014, a newspaper called The Wall Street Journal said her channel got over 16 million views every month! Most of her viewers were girls aged 13 to 24. They often watched her videos to get ideas and inspiration. Marzia called her fans "Marzipans."
Marzia also appeared in many videos on her husband Felix Kjellberg's channel. Felix is known as "PewDiePie" on YouTube. They would play video games together and do fun challenges. In 2014, Marzia and Felix helped promote a horror movie called As Above, So Below. Felix made gaming videos for the movie, while Marzia shared a travel vlog about their trip to Paris. She also helped ABC promote their TV show, Selfie, on YouTube.
Why She Stopped YouTube
On 22 October 2018, Marzia Kjellberg uploaded a video saying she was stopping her YouTube career. She explained that focusing on YouTube for so long made her feel a bit stuck. She felt it was time for "something new" in her life.
After she made her last video, she decided to remove most of her old videos. She said that keeping them up would feel like going backward after making her decision. She left a few videos she really liked for a short time. Before she stopped, her channel had almost 7.5 million subscribers and over 128 million video views.
Other Cool Things She Does
Fashion and Design
Because her YouTube channel was so successful, Marzia started designing her own clothes. Since March 2015, she has launched many fashion and design items. These include special nail polish colors, home decor items, and, most famously, clothing lines.
In 2016, she designed shoes called "Daisy" with a company called Project Shoe. In July of that year, she launched products with Zoya, a nail polish brand. In June 2017, Marzia started "Lemon," which was a clothing line that also had a perfume.
Experts in fashion liked Marzia's clothing line called "Amore." One expert said the design was "right on trend" and "timeless." Another expert liked that Marzia's clothes seemed to be what she truly wanted to wear.
On 1 July 2018, Marzia launched Maì, a brand for jewelry, pottery, clothes, and home decor. Marzia even made the ceramic items for Maì by hand in her pottery studio in the UK. Both Maì and Tsuki Market, a clothing and home brand she owned with Felix, are now closed.
Writing Books
In January 2015, Marzia wrote a fantasy/horror novel for young adults. The book was published in Italian as La Casa Dei Sogni. The English version was called Dream House: A Novel by CutiePieMarzia.
Voice Acting
Besides making her own videos, Marzia has also lent her voice to animated web series. She was the voice of Carrie the Carrot in a show called Oscar's Hotel for Fantastical Creatures. Marzia also voiced a character named Maya in a six-episode animated series called Pugatory. This character was based on her own dog.
