A UC Davis student has turned into an internet rock star and is paying his way through college by raking in tens of thousands of dollars through his YouTube comedy videos.

Kevin Wu's camcorder used to get him in trouble with his parents, but the 19-year-old sophomore said it has turned him into a surprise hit on the popular video sharing website.

"I got a little excited because it's like, wow, people are watching," Kevin said.

For some of his fans, it has turned into an addiction. Kevin's YouTube channel, under the name "kevjumba," has more than 700,000 subscribers and has racked up 50 million hits on his videos on dorm drama.

His immigrant parents are frequently teased in his online videos.

"I don't like when you sing these rap songs," Kevin's father said in a video titled 'What we hate about each other.' "These ridiculous rap songs. Rap rap rap."

Kevin's contagious comedy turned him into a top YouTuber and companies now pay him to run advertisements on his video clips, earning enough to pay for college and donate a hefty amount to charity -- $8,000 in just four months.

The hype has made him a pretty big deal on campus, but it only has been a moderate effect on his romantic life.

"I've never been really confident among women, even though I may portray it in my videos," he laughed. "I'm still kinda shy about females."

Kevin is majoring in communications and wants to make movies when he graduates. He said his YouTube videos take up more time than he'd like to admit, but it doesn't prevent from completing his course work.

Most of the time, anyway.
