Othello Gooden Jr. was born on January 13, 1985 in Cincinnati, Ohio. At an early age he learned the basics of reading, speaking, and writing while attending ministry school. Throughout his school years till now, he expressed those abilities in multiple online communities.
Upon graduating from the School for Creative and Performing Arts, majoring in instrumental music, Othello enrolled in University of Cincinnati Raymond Walters College’s Computer Support Technology program. While there, he learned the basics of MS Office, Object Orientated Programming, and the fundamentals of animation. Yet his passion for writing continued as Othello entertained his peers and teachers with his short stories.

After graduating from RWC, Othello had the desire to make videos and wanted to share his video making and music composing skills to the world. In April 2009, he created his first YouTube account under the channel name, 2kReturner. The 2kReturner channel specialized in video game music videos, game plays and commentaries of games he played during his college and high school years. Yet this wasn’t enough. Othello felt that he was limited on what he wanted to do and uploading it all on his 2kReturner channel would make things too cluttered. Therefore, in January of 2010 Othello created a new channel, JGTraveler, for his non-video game related works.
Othello is most famous for his one of a kind Sci-Fi Vlog Series, Memoire de Rayloria, where he talks about the elements within the MDR Universe. It is based on his novel, “Raylorian Dawn”. Then there is the Stop Motion/Animation Comedy, the Super Mecha Madness Show, or simply, Super Mecha Madness.
The Super Mecha Madness Show is a story within the MDR Universe about the world of Cyberspace. The main protagonists are known as the Super Mecha Team who fight against an evil robot known as Spike Cole, and his army of mechas, who plot to take over Cyberspace. Each episode experiments with different scenarios, mainly a parody/spoof of something in pop and/or internet culture. Currently, the SMMS and MDR combined have reached over 100,000 people.
Othello’s notable non-scifi works include the Cellar Stop Motion Car Show, where an animation of model car collections tell a story. Each car model in a group as a different story to tell. (I.E: A set of race cars would race each other only to be chased by a group of law enforcement vehicles.)
