Twitch streamer Brittany "Cinna" has been climbing the ranks over the past few months, becoming one of the most popular female streamers on the platform. There, she streams video games and Just Chatting content, often collaborating with major creators on the platform like Imane "Pokimane" and OTK co-founder, Matthew "Mizkif". Cinna is known for her upbeat personality, crude humor, and fan interactions, specifically through her Twitch chat.
The streamer was born in Virginia, on December 5, 1997, making her 26 years of age. She has over 275,000 Twitch followers and averages about 13,000 viewers per stream. Other than Just Chatting, she enjoys playing games on stream, especially Elden Ring, which has over 224 hours streamed on her channel.
In July 2024, Cinna had over 38,000 people watching her interact with AMP member, Din "Agent00". The stream broke records for her, becoming her most viewed ever.
In this article, we will explore Cinna's backstory, rise to fame, and position in the streaming world's current landscape.
Cinna's career beginnings and Twitch growth
Cinna first went live in March 2018, with her initial livestreams centered mainly around popular games like Fortnite. During this time she virtually had no viewers, primarily because she had a very inconsistent schedule and rarely streamed.
The streamer began her full-time streaming career around late 2021, a period she describes as a time of intense commitment and hard work. Initially, she adopted a spontaneous streaming schedule, going live whenever she felt like it. Over time, she found a rhythm that suited her lifestyle, settling into a more regular, early afternoon streaming schedule.
A breakout moment for Cinna was when she appeared in one of the Love or Host episodes, conducted by The Austin Show on Twitch. The episode revolved around multiple streamers fighting for Twitch superstar Pokimane's "platonic" love.
The episode brought a much wider audience to the streamer and her channel saw significant growth after this. This instance and many other founding moments of Cinna's journey online were explored (and criticized) by Mizkif in a video titled Exposing Her Past... available on YouTube.
Cinna's streaming journey: Moving forward and building connections
Cinna's association with Mizkif solidified when she moved to Austin in 2023, a hub for many streamers. This played a pivotal role in her career development. The city's vibrant streamer community provided her with numerous opportunities for networking and collaborations, although she emphasized that her connections were built more through natural friendships than formal events.
Mizkif, with over two million Twitch followers, averaged around 25,000 viewers per stream when he and Cinna started streaming together. This collaboration significantly boosted Cinna's visibility and brand across Twitch.
Community engagement and fan interactions
One of Cinna's greatest strengths is her ability to create a positive and inclusive community. Her streams are known for their welcoming atmosphere, making viewers feel valued and included. Cinna actively engages with her audience through live chat, debating, and bantering with her viewers. This community aspect of her content is part of why she's such a big personality now.
Cinna's streaming journey: Current day and future plans
Nowadays, Cinna continues to stream on Twitch, collaborating frequently with other streamers on the platform. She now appears alongside creators who she typically wouldn't be associated with. A recent instance is when she interacted with Duke Dennis from the AMP group again (though Duke does not remember ever meeting her).
Looking to the future, Cinna plans to keep growing as a content creator. Her drive and commitment indicate that she will try new formats and platforms, consistently refreshing her content to remain engaging and relevant. Viewers can anticipate more collaborative streams, creative projects, and community-focused content as she continues to adapt to the evolving world of online streaming.
