Josh Leyva grew up with the natural penchant for acting and the dream of starring in high-profile movies in Hollywood. But while he was still in his younger age, he fell in love with online content creation and started making videos for public consumption on YouTube. Even though Leyva is fun to be with any time he is online, it was his captivating short videos, challenges, and comedic sketches that rocketed to stardom.
Like most of his contemporaries, the YouTuber’s fame and success have since surpassed YouTube, as he has grown to become a notable face on the screen, having starred in many productions in the industry. Here are all the deets about Josh, including lesser-known facts about the actor and YouTuber.
Josh Leyva: Biography, Age
As hinted earlier, Leyva plies his trade in two of the world’s biggest platforms – Hollywood and YouTube. On both fields, he’s proved his worth and plans to even attain greater heights and do greater exploits in the nearest future.
Leyva is a native of Compton, California, where he was welcomed into the world on 27th December 1990. Though professionally known as Josh Leyva, his birth name is Jovanny Leyva.
Despite being a fast-rising actor and online sensation, the YouTuber hasn’t really spoken much about his family history which makes it difficult to give accurate information about who his parents are, their place of residence, what they do for a living, and what his childhood looked like. However, on several occasions, he has featured his mother in his videos but he’s yet to introduce his dad to his fans.
Josh was raised up with Mark, his younger brother who is also making waves in his field of interest. Currently, the actor cum YouTuber has two flourishing channels on YouTube. He launched his first channel (YoMuscleBoii) sometime around 2012. The platform currently boasts over two million subscribers as well as millions of views.
YouMuscleBoii is dedicated to his comedy contents while his second channel, yojoshyboii (which he later changed to Josh Levya Vlogs), basically features question-answer videos, story times and his travel diaries. It was launched in the year 2013 and has more than 200 subscribers.
Girlfriend

Born on 23rd January 1996, she hails from Houston, Texas and has been in the spotlight since 2011.

Like Olivia, Nikita has appeared in a couple of Josh’s videos. However, none of them has really come out to confirm or deny the allegation that they are just more than friends.
