Early life

Nicholas Amyoony [4] was born on March 14, 1995 [5] and is of Lebanese Canadian descent. [6] He was raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia and became interested in video games at a young age, particularly The Last of Us .[ citation needed ] He attended Prince Andrew High School in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. [7] During his high school years, Amyoony received high grades while actively participating in taekwondo, guitar lessons, and football. With aspirations to become a doctor, Amyoony dedicated much of his time focusing on his studies, leading him to give up extracurricular activities and spending time with his friends. Whenever he needed a break, Amyoony would play on his PlayStation 3. [8] His name "Nick Eh 30" comes from "Nick" being a part of his name, the "Eh" originating from the first letter of his last name, A, as a nod to the Canadian "eh" stereotype, and the "30" coming from his high school football jersey number. [7]

Career

Amyoony launched his "Nick Eh 30" YouTube channel in December 2014, although he started earlier under a different channel. [9] He initially created gaming videos primarily focused on The Last of Us , [10] while also exploring other titles such as Uncharted 4 and Resident Evil 7 . [11] His father, who now serves as his manager, granted Amyoony one year to pursue his gaming career. [7] In March 2016, he received a shout-out from PewDiePie. [12] [13] The following year, in 2017, he started streaming professionally and began playing Fortnite in December. [11] Despite previously studying for his Bachelor of Science at Dalhousie University, Amyoony decided to drop out and pursue his gaming career full-time. [8] [14] In 2018, Amyoony, as well as Facebook gaming streamer StoneMountain64, signed with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA). [15]

Starting from September 1, 2019, Amyoony, as a Fortnite streamer, made the switch from livestreaming on YouTube to Twitch, [11] as a result of his signing onto the platform. [8] While being a popular YouTube streamer at that time, Amyoony continued to create videos on the platform. [11] Subsequently, he earned a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Games category for the 2020 list. [16] [17] [18] On November 11, 2020, Amyoony signed with Luminosity Gaming, as announced during the Enthusiast Gaming Live Expo. [19] Later on, he parted ways with the organization on August 29, 2022. [20] On November 22, 2020, Amyoony partnered with Epic Games to host his own Fortnite tournament titled the "Nick Eh 30 Cup". [21] [22] [23] In 2023, he joined forces with Mainframe Studios to produce Endurathon, an animated series created in Unreal Engine 5. [24] [25] In August 2023, Amyoony hosted a $50,000 Fortnite Twitch Rivals tournament. [26]

Amyoony, who is particularly well-known for being family-friendly, [12] [27] currently lives with his parents in Halifax, who both assist him in his streaming career. [7] Unlike with most online creators, he actively includes his parents to participate in his online content and career. In a 2018 video, Amyoony unboxed his 1 million YouTube Play Button alongside his parents. [28] Amyoony also has a brother, who has also assisted with work surrounding his online content. [29]

On June 11, 2024, Fortnite released a purchasable outfit depicting Amyoony. [30] [31] [32]
