Twitch streamer Sketch has become one of 2024's biggest stars, with his gaming clips and hilarious quotes going viral across social media.
TheSketchReal (aka Sketch) has quickly risen through the ranks on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok. His distinct appearance and on-camera presence resonate with audiences from everyday Twitch viewers to some of the sporting world's best and brightest.
Sketch's Twitch channel has over 650,000 subscribers (a number that grew by over 250,000 between March and April) and over 1.7 million followers on TikTok.
Who Is Sketch the Twitch Streamer?
TheSketchReal (more commonly known as Sketch) was born Kylie Cox and is 25 years old (as revealed in his appearance on Bradley Martyn's Raw Talk).
Not much else is known about the streamer. He tends to keep his personal life fairly close to the vest, but fans do know he has a deep love of football having played in high school.
Sketch enjoyed a meteoric rise to online fame rarely seen, making waves on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok.
Sketch started his content journey in June 2023, streaming gaming content on TikTok.
He is known for playing games like Madden and Rainbow Six: Siege on-stream, with fans attracted to his signature look of big pop bottle glasses, deep squint, and off-the-wall genuine personality.
Over his first few months of posting videos, he started to amass some recognition; however, it was not until late 2023 that he blew up.
As he started streaming on Twitch, clipping his content, and then posting on YouTube, Sketch began building a massive fan base.
His biggest YouTube video has garnered over 48 million views, with his clipped content catching the eye of other big names in the streaming space.
Sketch's fame went to another level in early 2024, as his clips started to circulate among some of Twitch's biggest and brightest.
This resulted in the young streamer getting in touch with Twitch giants like Kai Cenat and Nicholas "Jynxzi" Stewart, as he appeared on podcasts, streams, and other collaborative content, accelerating his already fast-rising star.

Things like "What's up, brother?" (a greeting the streamer has become known for) are common parlances amongst certain corners of the internet following Sketch's rise, with his phrases taking on a life of their own.
Other catchphrases he has become synonymous with include "Sorry for cussing" and "Tuesday! Tuesday!"
It seems every time the streamer opens his mouth, his audience is ready to adopt his latest turn of phrase into their Gen-Z lexicon.

Sketch's Virality Continues to Grow
While Sketch has quickly become a viral sensation, the young online personality is only getting started.
The streamer's content has already transcended the online space. His antics have been referenced in places he could have ever imagined a year ago.
ESPN, Barstool Sports, and many other major companies have taken notice of Sketch and have alluded to the online creator in one way or another.
Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic went viral on TikTok as he proved he knew who the on-the-rise streamer was in a recent video.
Other organizations like the Houston Texans invited the longtime Texans fan for a photo shoot with the team, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht shouted out the streamer with one of his signature turns of phrase in a press conference ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft (via Logan B. Robinson).
Sketch has even gotten to play games with some of his sporting heroes, taking on New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardiner in Rainbow Six: Seige in early April 2024.
It would not be surprising if Sketch continues this accelerated rise to fame in the coming months.
Surely, with his mass following, bigger-name collaborations and brand deals are on the horizon for the Twitch personality.
Fans looking to keep up with Sketch can do so on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch.
