Dawson Gurley is a famous YouTuber, running the incredibly successful channel, BigDawsTV. You may also know him as the infamous Klay Thompson alter ego, Thay Klompson. However, Dawson didn’t always know that he was meant for YouTube fame. Coming out of high school in Olathe, Kansas, Dawson missed the deadline to sign up for a fraternity with all of his buddies at KU, and ultimately decided to go a different route. Little did he know, that would be one of the greatest things that could have ever happened to him.
After failing out of community college, Dawson decided to move out to Arizona to start his rap career. When that didn’t go as planned, he decided to finish his Associate’s degree with the hope of transferring to Arizona State. That was until he woke up to one of his videos on Good Morning America, and from there he knew that his future awaited him on YouTube. Since then, he has grown to new heights every year, even pretending to be a Cuban named “Nico” in one of his videos. So basically, I am famous af.
