Jonathan Charles Cozart (born April 26, 1992), better known by his online alias Paint, is an American YouTube personality, musician, and comedian. As of February 2019, his main YouTube channel had over 4.5 million subscribers.

Career
On July 17, 2011, Cozart uploaded "Harry Potter in 99 Seconds", which quickly became a viral video, with 45 million views as of February 2019.

His YouTube channel "Paint", an account gifted to him by his brother, was created on December 27, 2005, and has over 4.5 million subscribers as of February 2019. Cozart's career in videography started in middle school as a way to avoid writing papers, offering to make videos instead, and he continued this through high school.

Cozart grew his audience on YouTube with his Disney parody videos, which place Disney Princesses into modern circumstances through a cappella layering of his own voice to supply the music. "After Ever After" was uploaded in 2013, and has amassed 85 million views, as of February 2019. Two additional "After Ever After" videos were released in 2014 and 2018.

Cozart hosted the 7th Streamy Awards on September 26, 2017. His hosting turn was described as "vicious" by Newsweek, and the show included a musical number in which Cozart negatively compared nominee Jake Paul to U.S. President Donald Trump. Cozart described his approach as satirizing the perceived "hypocrisy of the new media industry."

Personal Life
Cozart was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and raised in Houston, Texas, from the age of six. After graduating from Cypress Creek High School in 2011, he moved to Austin, Texas and studied film at University of Texas. Cozart took piano lessons as a child. Jon Cozart was once in a relationship with a blogger called Shannon Barry. The pair reportedly dated between 2014 and 2015.
