Mudja

Stefan Vuksanovich (Stefan Vuksanović; Serbian Cyrillic: Стефан Вуксановић; born: ) also known as Mudja, is a Serbian content creator, well known for his let's plays and vlogs, as well as being considered one the first big YouTubers in his region.
==Biography==
Stefan was born on September 4th, 1998, in the countryside of Drmno, Požarevac. His mother's name is Vesna Vuksanović and father's name is Saša Vuksanović, who is an interior designer. Due to his family not being financially stable, Stefan lived a rough life. Being the only employed member of the family, his father Saša tried to get outside help for his family, although it didn't really work out.
When Stefan was a child, he had a lot of interests for video games, drawing and beatboxing. He had no problems with school, and had friends. Although Stefan did have friends at school, he didn't see his father very much, due to him working long hours to sustain his family. 
Stefan got his nickname, Mudja, from his grandpa, who had the same nickname, although he didn't like it, preferring to be called by his real name. After years of being called Mudja, he finally accepted the nickname as his identity.
Once Stefan finished elementary school, he was supposed to go to high school, but Stefan already started getting into YouTube. Which made it it difficult for him to balance them both. Stefan did go to high school, but had a lot of issues in it, so his father ended up removing Stefan from it, which gave him an opportunity to do YouTube full-time. Alongside making videos, Stefan did still get part-time schooling, even though he dropped out of high school.
But thankfully, after some time of being on the platform, Mudja started gaining traction on his then-named channel, SuperSRBGamer. Even if Stefan's videos weren't getting millions of views, this was monumental for him and his family, both creatively and financially.
==YouTube history==
Mudja started his channel on September 29th, 2013, called SRBGamer, later changed to SuperSRBGamer. Even though at first glance the name seemed fine, some controversy started due to people saying that the name was to "Serbian centric", and that it narrowed his reach with the name. It didn't help that at the time tensions between Serbs and Croats rose, which made it even more heated. Eventually because of this, the name of the channel was changed to "Mudja", which made the channel a lot more personal, and could reach a broader audience. The first time Mudja officially addressed the name change was in a video called "VAZNO OBAVESTENJE !" (eng. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT !)
In 2014 his channel gained more traction from popular videos, such as KAKO MUDJA SLAVI NOVU GODINU! (eng. HOW MUDJA CELEBRATES NEW YEAR'S!). A long with gaining popularity from his videos, Stefan started playing with his father (aka Ćale) games like FIFA and PES. He would later become a much bigger part of the channel.
On August 12th, 2017, Mudja reached the milestone of 1 million subscribers, at the time this milestone was monumental, as no one in Serbia had ever gotten a million subscribers until Mudja. While his channel was getting closer to a million subscribers, Mudja started a livestream where he and his closest family and friends to wait for the big moment to happen.
As of January 2022, Mudja's channel is still growing, and is the 2nd largest individual creator on Serbian YouTube. Along with his channel continuing to grow, he has focused more on streaming on the livestreaming website Trovo.
==Future progress==
After reaching a million subscribers, Mudja continued to make more and more videos, doing more collaborations with his father, Saša (more well known as Ćale). Alongside doing gaming videos, Mudja wanted to extend his type content, which lead to doing different types of videos, such as vlogs and challenge videos with his dad. Whilst doing YouTube, Stefan started to develop a relationship with another fellow content creator, Jana Dačović, who started being featured in videos more. Outside of YouTube, Stefan started to get more into photography, which lead him to create another Instagram account outside of his main one, where he would post photographs that he takes, with occasionally doing videos and tutorials on how he edits the photos in Photoshop.
He would also start a new series called Meme Review (alternatively spelled "Meme rivju" or "Mim rivju"), in which he would rate and commentate over funny memes and images his fans and viewers would post on his Discord. The series is also a self-aware parody of Pewdiepie's Meme Review.
On June 4th, 2022, Mudja officially started his own podcast simply called "Mudja PODCAST". One the podcast Mudja would talk with his family and friends about his interest and an overall variety of topics. After the first couple of episodes Mudja started to more well-known YouTuber's and celebrities, such as SerbianGamesBL, Janko, Lux27, and Miroljub Petrović.
==Prominent video games==
===Hitman: Absolution===
This is the earliest ever play-through that Mudja has done, but it can't be found. The reason for that is explained in the video REAKCIJA NA STARE KLIPOVE (Translated: REACTING TO OLD VIDEOS). He states in the video when is showing his first video, that this is not his first video. He also states that in his first play-through, he recorded about 20 episodes of Hitman: Absolution, which he in the last 2 episodes, turned the microphone on. But because due to quality of the voice in the video, Mudja has deleted the whole playlist. This video also confirmed the theory of the missing playlist, because some of Mudja's fans have on his videos have stated in conversations with other users, that he had a play-through even older than an Outlast.
===Indie Horror Games===
Mudja is very known for playing indie horror games, which all of them are have chose by himself. His videos are special, because they combine fear and laugh. For example, in video called PACOV BEZ REPA! DEAD LAB (Translated: TAILELESS RAT! DEAD LAB), when he meets zombie and a spider, he is shown screaming like a female, making that scene lot funny. Also, in a video called BRZINOM SVETLOSTI! ERIE (Translated: SPEED OF LIGHT!! ERIE), he when encounters an Erie, he goes in female bathroom scared repeating ZENE! (Translated: WOMEN!).
===Grand Theft Auto (GTA)===
As mentioned, Mudja started playing a lot of GTA with his father. His GTA videos became his most popular videos on his channel, making his channel blow up as a result. The videos are a part of a series called "Lude trke" (eng. Crazy Races), in which Mudja and Cale would play Grand Theft Auto's racing mod to see who would come out as the first one to finish the race. The main reason for the Lude trke videos blowing up was because of Stefan's and his father's hilarious father-son dynamic and comedic commentary. Although the series is very popular, a lot of parents started bashing Mudja saying that his content was too inappropriate because it contained a lot swearing (mostly from Ćale). To this day Lude trke is the most popular series on his channel amassing millions and millions of views. Although the series is still very popular, Mudja doesn't really do it anymore, wanting to move on to other things and types of content. But he does still do it from time to time with his dad.
