Tessa Violet Williams, popularly known as Meekakitty or Tessa Violet is an American vlogger and singer-songwriter best known for her YouTube videos which are mostly humorous with fast cuts. She grew up in Oregon and performed in theater while in high school. She graduated as a member of the National Honor Society from Ashland High School (Oregon) on June 6, 2008. Tessa began posting videos to YouTube in 2007 at the age of 17. Though her channel began as a video blog chronicling her life overseas as a young model, she has since shifted her content to include other creative disciplines including fan-made music videos for well-known bands including: Relient K, Family Force 5, and Mika. By 2009 Violet quit modeling completely, dropping the topic from her channel to focus on anecdotal stories and high production music videos. Violet is known for her trademark flaming red hair and array of large-frame glasses worn in her videos. She is sometimes referred to as a geek girl for having an interest in Digimon, ''Star Wars'', ''Star Trek'', ''Harry Potter'', and ''The Legend of Zelda''.〔 She started vlogging in 2007 for a school project and began to do so daily when she traveled to Hong Kong and Thailand as a fashion model.〔 ==Journey to popularity== In the Fall of 2008, while living in Seoul, Korea, Violet settled into a more traditional, less travel based format of vlogging. Focusing on stories, music videos, and skits, one of her most popular at the time were two successive videos, in which she played herself and a crazy alter-ego. The two talked back and forth about being obsessed with friend, and fellow YouTube Vloggers, WhatAboutAdam and Frezned. In 2009, Tessa moved to New York and her YouTube success began to snowball. In 2010, two of Tessa's videos gained impressive popularity and went viral: "Wizard Love" - feat. Heyhihello, and "Star Trek Girl", both original comedy songs released under her name Meekakitty. The videos were produced by Maker Studios. She was in the process of relocating to Nashville, Tennessee, with fellow YouTubers Zolloc (Hayden), Internallan and Nanalew (Shawna Howson, who was unable to get a visa as she currently lives in Canada). She is now relocating to Canada since Nanalew was unable to move to the US. Violet's YouTube channel is one of the 500 most-subscribed and in 2009 she won $100,000 in a YouTube competition in which the most commented video would win.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/19-year-old-youtube-vlogger-receives-over-one-million-views-and-wins-100000-in-lashes-to-riches-giveaway-80689912.html )〕 Her cousin's roommate at that time, Ray William Johnson, with the then most-subscribed YouTube channel, appealed to his viewers to vote for Violet on the competition. Beside her own vlogs, Violet also appears in Ray William Johnson's side project ''Breaking Los Angeles'' (and its predecessor ''BreakingNYC''), is the Post Supervisor of ''Breaking Los Angeles'' and appeared in three episodes of ''The Professionals''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977393/ )〕 In 2011 Tessa Violet was director of Photography and featured in Shawna Howson’s (username: Nanalew) viral video "Sail" which has amassed over 174 million views. She now splits her content between anecdotal stories, life-advice vlogs, and musical content. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tessa Violet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
