As recent as 2014, Graceffa has been working on a ton of new projects. He was able to write and release his own song called Don’t Wait. Shortly after this video was viewed by millions, Graceffa made a public announcement on his channel that he is gay. He felt so relieved and confident to relay that message to the public. Because of this, Graceffa wrote a memoir called In Real Life: My Journey to a Pixelated World. This spoke volumes about his struggles growing up in a place where being gay was not acceptable. He was soon placed on the New York Times Best Seller list because of his inspirational and outstanding work.
