Roomie

Joel Gustaf Berghult (born 8 April 1988), better known as Roomie or Lil Pitchy, is a Swedish singer, songwriter, producer, and YouTuber based in Los Angeles, California. He is best known for his YouTube channel RoomieOfficial, which consists of music commentary, original songs, covers, comedy, and more music-related content. He has posted several viral videos and collaborations with PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg), TheOdd1sOut (James Rallison), and Boyinaband (David Brown). His most popular video is "One Guy, 43 Voices", featuring vocal imitations of singers such as Justin Bieber, Charlie Puth, and Brendon Urie. His main YouTube channel, which he began in 2010, has 7.56 million subscribers and has accumulated over 1.4 billion views as of December 2022. Joel attended the Ljungskile College of Music, concentrating on jazz drumming in 2007. However, he was still attracted to rock music, and during his college time, he also improved his singing, music production, and instrumental talents beyond drumming. Berghult started his YouTube channel in 2010. In 2014, he rose to prominence by uploading a series of celebrity singer impressions. The first of which was titled "One Guy, 14 Voices" which became the first of Berghult's many viral videos. The next year Berghult released a follow up "One Guy, 15 Voices" in August 2015. He was subsequently invited to perform on Nyhetsmorgon in September 2015, followed by Good Morning America that October. The most recent of the series, released in 2017 is "One Guy, 43 Voices (with music)" which has over 96 million views and is Berghult's most viewed video as of December 2022. In 2014, Berghult began to release music with fellow Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie (who is also a Gothenburg native). The single "His Name is Pewdiepie" was released in 2014 and was made using samples of PewDiePie's voice; later that year, "Fabulous" was released, followed by "Brofist" in 2016. In 2019, Berghult again teamed up with PewDiePie and longtime collaborator Boyinaband on the song "Congratulations". The song peaked at number one on the US Comedy Digital Track Sales published by Billboard and has over 200 million views on YouTube as of 2021. In December 2019, Berghult uploaded daily videos as part of a series called "Daily December". In response to positive feedback, he continued releasing daily videos. He grew discontent with the daily upload schedule, and announced a hiatus from YouTube on 11 June 2020, which lasted until 22 July. On 20 July 2020, while still on break, Berghult released an album single "Livin' For That" on Spotify under the name "Lil Pitchy". The album consists of the song "Livin' For That", plus its instrumental and a cappella versions. On 31 May 2021, Berghult announced another hiatus from YouTube. He cited fatigue from uploading daily videos, and wanting to shift focus to larger-scale projects. He ended that hiatus on 28 September, with the video "We Bought 100 Microphones To Do This...".
