    Gibi ASMR (/ˈb/; born December 19, 1994)[2][non-primary source needed][3] is an American ASMR performer, YouTube personality, Twitch streamer, and cosplayer.

    Early life

    Gibi has a background in theater and film, and graduated with the class of 2017 from Northwestern University's School of Communication with a Bachelor of Science in Film.[4][5]

    Career

    During the early years of ASMR content, Gibi was a high school sophomore with anxiety and insomnia when YouTube's recommendation algorithm introduced her to the genre.[5][6] After watching and listening to ASMR for years, Gibi created her YouTube channel in June 2016, before her senior year of college.[4][5] That summer, she began cosplaying and attending anime conventions; inspired by earlier creators, she incorporated these interests into role-play ASMR videos, which feature both existing and original characters.[7] From the start, Gibi intended to treat video-making as a full-time job, which included taking her winter quarter off from college to focus on production.[4][7] Within six months of graduating, she was earning enough to create videos full-time, and after a year reached one million subscribers.[4][5][8]

    At the suggestion of her editor, Gibi created her Twitch channel in 2017, on which she streams ASMR and plays video games.[7] In 2019, she hosted a web miniseriesbyRooster Teeth called Encounter Culture.[9][non-primary source needed]

    Polydor Records contacted Gibi in 2019 and asked if she would perform an ASMR read-through of Billie Eilish's album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. Gibi recorded the project for free; since its upload it has amassed over 3 million views.[10][11] That summer, Gibi was hired to star in Reese The Movie: A Movie About Reese, an official feature-length ASMR project about Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.[12]

    In August 2022, Gibi and two other popular YouTube personalities, Charles "MoistCr1TiKaL" White and Tyler "Jimmy Here" Collins, formed their own talent agency, Mana Talent Group, focused on online creators.[13]

    Reception

    Gibi is considered one of YouTube's top ASMR creators.[5] Her videos have been recommended by authors for Bustle,[14] Den of Geek,[15] Heavy.com,[16] and Insider.[17] Writing for The New York Times Magazine, Jamie Lauren Keiles called Gibi "the LeBron James of touching stuff," and wrote favorably of her genuine online persona.[5]

    Personal life

    Gibi takes strict privacy precautions for the sake of friends and family.[4][7] In the past, she refrained from sharing her relationship status or city of residence.[5] In 2019, Gibi married her husband, Ben, whom she met at Northwestern and today manages her business affairs.[4][7] The couple relocated in January 2020, revealing their former residence was in a suburb of Chicago.[18] In November 2020, Gibi revealed her first name as Gina.[19]

    On July 6, 2024, Gibi revealed she is pregnant with her first child.[20]
