Backstory

On August 5, 2013, I made my debut on Vine. On my page, I made random content, as any 8-year-old in my position would. From November to December, my iPod Touch, which I used to record my Vines, was broken to the point where it was deemed unusable. On December 10, I uploaded my last Vine for a while before my iPod was taken to a repair shop, where it was most likely discarded.

On September 17, 2015, I discovered that I could make Vines through a desktop client called Bine. During this time, I was also making gaming videos on YouTube with Bandicam under a username similar to that of DanTDM.

I made my final appearance on Vine on Christmas Day 2016...except, the Vine is somehow corrupted, so my technical final appearance on Vine was on Christmas Eve 2016.

In early 2017, I created a new YouTube channel under a new username, where I made amateur short film projects. On February 25, 2018, I created what was originally a new space for my projects; however, in early February 2019, I set all of those videos to private and began my new journey into regular content creation; I made reaction videos.

On February 16, 2020, I said my final goodbye as "MyMattingCall". The next day, I created my new channel as "HunkerChunker", then I renamed it to "GetMattStat"; eventually, around mid-March (around the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdowns), I settled on the name "Mattlexic", which originated from a Fortnite YouTuber's "secret" channel's name. On March 28, I uploaded my first ever video onto that channel, ultimately beginning my new journey. I uploaded every Saturday at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, which died out after full school days were reinstated.

My channel really took off on November 14, 2021, when I uploaded a now-deleted YouTube Short (originally from TikTok) titled How to do a MoistCr1TiKaL impression; that Short alone has gained over 116,000 views as of April 17, 2022.

On December 9, 2022, I uploaded what is now my most popular Short (originally from TikTok; "Absolutely every activity [...]" -Jenna Ortega), which has gained almost 400,000 views as of April 2, 2024.
