Twitch isn’t just a hobby for everyday users, as celebrities also enjoy their fair share of streaming time.
At the end of the day, famous celebs aren’t that different from us—they go out to dinner, spend time with friends, and enjoy a range of hobbies. In fact, we may be familiar with some of these hobbies, and even participate in them ourselves. Streaming on Twitch is one example of a popular activity that the rich and famous, especially musical artists, participate in in their free time.
What is Twitch?
Before we get take a look at these notable names, let’s clarify what exactly Twitch is for those that are not already familiar with it. Launched over 10 years ago in the summer of 2011, Twitch is a platform for live streaming, primarily focused on video games that can range from Esports broadcasts to a handful of other gaming genres. For example, many well-known gamers take to the site to stream their first-person shooter gameplay, while other professional poker players play the strategic card game in front of the camera, gaining millions of viewers in the process. Whatever your game of choice, there is someone out there who is busy at work streaming the content you most want to see. So, without further ado, here are five musical artists that are big Twitch fans.
Snoop Dog
First up is none other than Snoop Doggy Dog. The long-time rapper and media personality is very active on the streaming platform with his own channel that mostly features him playing the best-selling sports series, Madden. He notes that his streaming style is ‘chill’, and he simply enjoys sitting back and relaxing with a controller in hand. Doggydog20, as he is known on Twitch, boasts in nearly 370,000 followers so it’s safe to say that he is doing something right.
Logic
Former rapper Logic surpasses Snoop’s viewing base with a whopping 554,000 followers.
