Where did KSI grow up and where did he go to school?

KSI was born Olajide Olatunji, later shortened to JJ, in June 1993 to parents of Nigerian heritage. After originally living in a small studio flat in London, his parents worked hard enough to be able to move to Watford and provide better opportunities for their son.

Where does KSI live?

KSI runs a media empire out of his bedroom. As the 20 million people who subscribe to his main YouTube Channel will know, that room is a humble, plain white box, somewhere in central London. The floor is often strewn with clothes, cereal bowls and packing boxes. The blinds are semi-permanently drawn.

Where is KSI now?

KSI now resides in Watford, Hertfordshire, the same town where he spent his formative years. Though born in London, Watford is his true hometown. This is where KSI built his earliest YouTube career as a teenager, by making comedy videos in his parents’ backyard. Even with global fame, Watford remains his home base.
