The real name of Blippi is Stevin John. He was born on May 27, 1988, in Ellensburg, Washington, U.S. . Stevin John is an American childrens entertainer and educator who created the Blippi character in 2014. He portrays the character with a childlike, energetic, and curious persona, and is always dressed in a blue and orange beanie cap, blue shirt, orange suspenders, and an orange bow tie. The idea for Blippi came to John after moving back to Ellensburg and witnessing his then two-year-old nephew viewing low-quality videos on YouTube.
