Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter, celebrated as one of the world’s preeminent female streamers and gaming creators, has leveled up her career by signing with WME for representation, a strategic move from her previous representation by UTA.

👾 Streaming Superstar: Valkyrae, renowned for her engaging streams of popular games like “Among Us,” “Fortnite,” and “Valorant,” commands an impressive following of over 13.5 million across social media platforms, including 4 million subscribers on her main YouTube channel. Her live streams have not only captivated a vast audience but have also featured star-studded appearances from celebrities like Jimmy Fallon and the cast of “Stranger Things.”

🚀 A Meteoric Rise: Beginning her streaming journey on Twitch and subsequently signing an exclusive deal with YouTube in 2020, Valkyrae has seen a phenomenal rise. She’s not only one of the fastest-growing streamers globally but also holds the title of YouTube’s most-watched female streamer for the past three years.

💼 Breaking Barriers in Esports: Valkyrae’s influence extends beyond streaming – she is a co-owner of the esports group 100 Thieves, standing out as the only female co-owner in a major gaming organization. Her online persona, inspired by Norse mythology’s Valkyries, mirrors her pioneering spirit in the gaming world.

🎬 From Gaming to Screen: Valkyrae’s talents have transcended the digital realm into TV and film. She lent her voice to Netflix’s “Sonic Prime” and is set to appear in the action-comedy “The Family Plan” alongside Mark Wahlberg on Apple TV+. Her crossover appeal is further evidenced by her appearances in music videos for artists like Machine Gun Kelly and Bella Poarch.

📸 Fashion Meets Gaming: Valkyrae made a splash in the fashion world with a feature in Vogue Philippines, showcasing her influence beyond gaming and streaming. This milestone highlighted her as one of the first female streamers to be featured in a major fashion publication.
