Breaking through with her sound and style, Georgia Merry has become one of YouTube’s biggest Disney content creators. With over a hundred million video views she has really made quite a name for herself and keeps her fans coming back for more.
Georgia is 22 and lives just outside of Manchester, UK. She created her channel around four years ago and her content is split between covers of the latest popular songs, vlogs and, by far and away her most popular and viewed content, Disney medleys.
“I love to sing and dance” says Georgia, “but I suffer from acute anxiety and panic attacks so that makes it hard for me to perform publicly”. She goes on, “I’ve been lucky to be able to develop a career that means I can work from home and channel some of my anxiety into creativity.’

“I’ve been to Disney World Florida 15 times, to Disneyland California, and to Disney in Paris so, as you can guess, I’m a massive Disney Dork!”, she says.
Each of Georgia’s Disney medleys takes around two months of solid work to produce. Her medleys are a result of massive amounts of hard work, from planning and producing the music that it will feature to cutting the transitions between songs. She has to record the vocals, plan the costumes and make-up and then of course the shooting and editing of the video, all to come up with the final production that you’ll see on YouTube. She sometimes gets asked which ‘App’ she uses to produce her covers. Georgia laughs and says “Apps these days are amazing and produce all kinds of wonderful things but, sadly, not Disney medley’s.”
She splits her YouTube screen into a number of windows where different Disney characters will appear and sing, until the final screen is filled with characters. The characters that appear early in the medley have to then stay in their window, really not doing much except staying in character and looking around. It can be tough to keep that interesting, but she pulls it off with ease.
So what does the future hold for Georgia? Disney is such a prolific company that constantly produces high quality musical films that take people to other worlds where their dreams can come true. That means there will be plenty of new material for me her to work with and she says she will continue to produce Disney medleys for as long as enough people enjoy watching them. We know we do!
