Early life

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii,[3] Fischbach began his career in Cincinnati, Ohio. His father, Cliffton M. Fischbach, was of German descent, while his mother is Korean. He studied Civil Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, later changing his degree to Biomedical Engineering. He later left college and started his YouTube career.

Career

Fischbach moved to Los Angeles, California in 2014, wanting to be closer to the YouTube scene.[4]

As of August 2018, his channel has over 9 billion total video views and 22 million subscribers,[5] and is currently the 36th most-subscribed channel on YouTube.[6]

Fischbach plays in Let's Play videos, commonly of survival horror video games.[7]

In 2017, Fischbach began his first improv tour, known as the "You're Welcome Tour",[8] which spanned from North America to Europe and Australia.[9]

Fischbach has done multiple charity streams and fundraisers with other YouTubers. Forbes reported in 2017 that Fischbach and his fans had helped raise roughly $3 million for charity in past fundraising streams.[10] In April 2018, he raised $1,506,793.81 in charities.[11]

Unus Annus

On November 15, 2019, Fischbach created a new channel with YouTuber Ethan Nestor (known online as CrankGameplays) called Unus Annus, a channel which planned to upload a video every day for one year, after which the channel would be deleted along with its videos.[12][13] The channel had 1 million subscribers in its first 5 days and 4.56 million in its last few minutes.[14][15] The channel was deleted on November 14, 2020.[16] The channel was meant to remind viewers about life and death and how quickly both can come and go.[16]

Podcasts

Fischbach, along with Wade Barnes (LordMinion777) and Bob Muyskens (Muyskerm) has streamed a podcast on Twitch called 3 Peens in a Podcast since 2018.[17]

In 2019, Fischbach co-produced and starred in Edge of Sleep, an audio drama released on iTunes.[18]
