Jessica Aphmau Bravura born on 16 October 1989, in Houston,Texas United States is a YouTube personality who posts Minecraft role play videos on her channel, and has millions subscribers there.

Jessica “Aphmau” “Bravura” was born under the sun sign ofLibra on 16 October 1989, in Houston USA, and so holds American nationality. When she was born, her parents already had a kid, Aphmau’s half-brother from her mother’s first marriage. When she was around two years old, her parents separated, which was a hurtful experience for both parents and kids, but she thinks that her parents’ splitting was probably for the best since they decided not to fight in front of their kids.

She then lived in one house with her grandparents and her aunt’s family, since her mother had to move to her parents’ house.

She was surrounded by a bunch of her cousins, and a lot of caring and loving older relatives.

Aphmau parents had joint custody of her, so she spent weekends at her father’s house, and enjoyed it since she could escape from the hectic house with a lot of noisy kids.

She is 13 years younger than her elder brother, and they didn’t play a lot together, except for sharing his Nintendo, and Aphmau later shared that it was the coolest thing for her to see him playing various video games. Aphmau then got her own console when her parents decided to live together for some period of time, saying that this was the best buy of her life.

During her years in elementary school,she made a lot of friends, even sharing her money for lunch if someone didn’t have it or forgot it.

She thinks that maybe these things made other kids jealous of her popularity and good name, so they started bullying her, and she became introverted.

After the terrorist attack on 11 September 2001, her father was so scared for her that he decided to take her out of her middle school for homeschooling.

Generally, Aphmau liked his decision, but felt lonely from time to time, and returned to public school in a year.

She matriculated in 2007, then moved to Philadelphia where her boyfriend lived to start attending college. She never mentioned the name of it, but once said that she studied business management.

Aphmau and her boyfriend, Jason “Bravura”, virtually met each other while they were playing the game called “Final Fantasy XI Online”.

They started dating in real life, though it was quite hard to manage as he lived in Jersey City, New Jersey, and she visited him whenever she could. When she finally turned 18, she moved to Jason and started living with him.

Aphmau soon discovered that she was pregnant, plus she soon found out that Jason was going to propose to her, but it all happened a bit earlier than they both expected, however, they married in middle of her first pregnancy, celebrating their wedding in Walt Disney World^[2] in March 2012. In July 2012 she gave birth to their first son, Joseph, via Caesarean section due to a medical issue though she wanted to give birth naturally without any meds, but had no choice. In 2014 she gave birth to a daughter named Julia, and again via C-section. In May 2019 she and Jason welcomed their third child^[13], a daughter named Jennifer.

She says it is hard to be a mom of three, so uses various devices and tricks to make her housework faster, and have spare time to spend relaxing or playing with her kids.

She and Jason stated that their last name is not really “Bravura” – they keep their real last name secret for their safety, while “Bravura” is just a part of their nicknames.

She and Jason are big dog-lovers – they have four dogs: two Corgis, Lilly and Jet, a Manchester Terrier named Dobby and a Shiba Inu named Ahri.

She loves drawing and is very good at it, though she admits that she hasn’t got enough time to add as much detail to her drawings as she would like, since she is too busy with her work and kids.

However, she enjoys drawing her characters when she has a spare minute and shares her drawings with her fans on her Instagram account.

Recently she thanked Jason for giving her an opportunity to draw on Mother’s Day, when he took the kids for a walk, and she could enjoy her favorite hobby in peace and silence.

She is a passionate plush toys collector, having a huge variety around her house, and at least 15 toys on her working desk, as they inspire her and make her feel comfortable.

As true fans of the Final Fantasy series, she and Jason went to the concert called “Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy.

Returning Home”, conducted by Arnie Roth and featuring thelegendary music written by such composers as Masashi Hamauzu and Nobuo Uematsu.

She plays a huge number of games – one of her favorites is Animal Crossing which she plays religiously and keeps checking her animal there every day and every time she gets the phone in her hand.

Aphmau shared in one of her videos that when she started playing the Final Fantasy XI Online in 2004, her life changed – she not only spent hours on the game, she also met her future husband there, who was also playing the game. When they married and started living together, they watched a lot of YouTubers, and thought it would be a great solution for them: Aphmau was going to become a full-time mother since she was pregnant with their first baby. They decided that she would generate ideas of content, and Jason would take care of the technical side of the YouTube channel. Several friends helped them in the first stages of their YouTube channel creation, but personal disagreements meant that all of their friends left the project, so Aphmau and Jason worked on their channel on their own. Their work started after Aphmau gave birth to her first and then second kid – she often recorded the videos feeling strong pain since she was recovering after C-sections.

They called their channel “Challenge Accepted Inc.” and started by recording videos on various games, but mostly Minecraft. As for the moment, there are several series on their YouTube channel: “MyStreet: When Angels Fall” – which has six seasons launched already – “Human Fall Flat” and “Gacha Life (Parodies)”. The series’ are mostly role play videos with various characters from the Minecraft game. She creates story lines and records videos with the technical help of Jason, and the audience enjoys her videos, impatiently waiting for the next episodes of their shows.

She and Jason have another business they run together – it’s their BluJay Studios, which a couple of their friends helped them with.

Aphmau made her career on YouTube, though other Social media platforms helped her a lot to spread the word about her channel, so she is pretty active on multiple sites and sources. Her main source of popularity and income, her YouTube channel called “Aphmau”, has 4.6 million subscribers as for May 2019. She also has two other channels called “Aphmau Fantasy” (with more than 500,000 followers) and “Aphmau Vlogging” (subscribed by more than 420,000 people) though she doesn’t post there frequently. Her Facebook profile is followed by more than 37,000 people, while her Instagram account has more than 920,000. Her Twitter^[3] account is also very popular and is read by more than 400,000 fans. Her husband Jason also has an Instagram account with more than 220,000 subscribers, on which he shares multiple family photos.
