Kieren Owen, otherwise known as YouTuber Jimmy The Giant or The Internet’s Louis Theroux is a storyteller, musician and sub culture enthusiast.
Kieren got hooked on two things at an early age, parkour and making videos. Growing up he had a group of mates who he would practice parkour with and film. They created a parkour lifestyle brand called Marrero Gang. The company fell apart after a few years. He still wanted to make videos and had built a name for himself as Jimmy The Giant through music. He took over the Marrero Gang YouTube Channel. His first documentary on the new channel called ‘How One Man Nearly Destroyed Parkour’ went viral.
Jimmy The Giant continued to create documentary style videos about parkour. He then expanded out into content on interesting sub cultures and action sports targeting a larger audience. He’s now gone full time as a content creature building his YouTube channel to 229k subscribers and over 41 million views.
