MattG124, (born January 20, 1990), formally known as Matt/Matthew Gibson, is a Canadian YouTuber from London, Ontario who currently has (as of May 2015) over 530,000 subscribers and over 61 million video views .Matt uploaded his first videos when he was 18 years old and so far during his time on YouTube has uploaded over 300 main channel videos. Matt first starting making videos before he starting making content on YouTube when his grandmother lent him a video camera (in 8th grade) and starting making claymation videos. He also made Jackass style videos that are on YouTube now, though he says "good luck finding them." He continued to do this for roughly 2 years, but soon got bored. This then gave birth to 'The Poo Poo show' when he discovered YouTube (thanks to a guy named Cory, 'Mr safety'). Throughout the next year Matt made 10 mini shows that soon fell apart. Then came Penis, six months of not knowing how to make videos. He then discovered a whole community of vloggers and that's where the Mattg124 as we know him came from.

Matt currently runs four channels - MattG124 (main channel), Mattgformayor (vlogging channel) , Mattgforgamer (unused gaming channel) , and Daremattg (currently only holds a playlist of all Dare MattG episodes). Matt also has a ginger/white tabby cat called JoJo, whose twitter is Jojoformayor. He also used to have a gray tabby named Tigger who died in 2009. In 2012 Matt won a King of the Web competition in which he won prizes that he said would help with his videos. As prizes, he chose a GoPro, a HDPVR, and a shot gun Mic for his Canon 60d. Matt edits his videos using Final Cut on his 27" iMac but also edits on his laptop, a MacBook Pro.

Matt now often makes 'Dare MattG' videos. He usually will do these on a Friday and upload short skits on a Tuesday. In 'Dare MattG', Matt will take screen shots of dares that viewers suggest. These can be from Facebook, Twitter or YouTube comments. In 'Dare MattG 19' he collaborated with Corey Vidal (youtube.com/ApprenticeA) and Corrado Coia in which they did dares at their respective properties. This got flagged, but was unflagged shortly afterwards.
