Deciding On His Career

I was just so fascinated by the fact that I can record something of myself in the present time, and 5 minutes later I can go back into the future and watch that same thing. It was astonishing to me.” Shakes found his passion when he was nine, created his Youtube channel, and has grown massively in popularity ever since.
