Jordan Maron (born February 10, 1992), better known through his online pseudonym CaptainSparklez, is an American YouTube personality whose channel primarily consists of videos of Minecraft let's plays, animations and mod/command block reviews, and gameplay of other video games, most prominently Trials. With over 10 million subscribers, his main channel is currently the 91st most subscribed channel on YouTube, not counting auto-generated channels.
In May 2015, Maron started a second channel called "CaptainSparklez 2" where he primarily uploaded videos of his Twitch live streams. In March 2016, he started a music channel called "Maron Music" where he uploads his own music and showcases music of other artists. In February 2017, he started a vlog channel called "Jordan Maron".
Maron was born in Los Angeles, California, United States. When he was 4 years old, he and his mother moved to Santa Barbara. He attended Santa Barbara High School beginning in 9th grade. Maron then went to the University of California, Santa Barbara as a chemical engineering major. He decided to switch his major to computer science midway through his freshman year based on his interest in video games. After the first quarter of his sophomore year, he decided to drop out. In December 2011, he finally made YouTube his full-time job.
Maron began producing videos on YouTube in February 2010 on a channel called ProsDONTtalkSHIT, focusing primarily on the game Call of Duty. In July 2010, he stopped uploading to the channel, and created a new channel named CaptainSparklez, where he ended up transitioning content revolving around the popular game Minecraft. He was featured in the 2016 Forbes 30 Under 30 list. He started a channel called Maron Music in March 2016 where he releases electronic music to promote music producers, as well as his own tracks.
