About Samara Redway

Samara Redway was born on March 10, 1995 in Vancouver BC, Canada. She has a half-sister and a half-brother. When Samara was still a toddler, her parents moved to a smaller house, located next to her grandparents’ house. The move turned out to be beneficial for Samara as she spent much of her growing up years with them. Tragically, however, her father who did not want to have a family life or any kind of responsibility, separated from his wife and moved out. Thereon, Samara developed a deep bond with her mom which is still strong.

Following her mother’s second marriage and the births of her step-siblings, Samara spent much of her time with her grandparents. Her relationship with her stepdad was a strained one. Eventually, her mother got a second divorce and life turned favourably for Samara. However, by then, she was emotionally shattered and weak as isolation and anxiety issues bowed her down. Academically though, Samara was brilliant. Her grades helped her get admission at the University of Alberta. It was at Alberta that Samara first started making funny videos of herself to kill boredom in her spare time. Following her grandmother’s demise, Samara moved back to Vancouver and resumed her studies at the University of Calgary, but she could not cope up. She then took a year’s break and moved to Australia before returning to Vancouver with revived spirit and energy. Romantically, Samara was involved with Andre, the man behind her YouTube foray. It was upon his insistence that Samara started making videos and rest as they say is history.

As of April 2024, she has amassed 259,000 followers on Instagram, 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube and 51,500 followers on her Twitch platform.
