Early life

Germán Alejandro Garmendia Aranis was born on 25 April 1990 in Copiapó, Chile,[4] and lived there until he was 12 years old.[5] When he was three, his father, Germán Luis Garmendia, died in a car crash on Christmas Eve.[6] After the death of his father, Garmendia, his mother Cecilia del Carmen Aranis, and his brother Diego,[7] traveled across the country until they settled in Los Vilos, a coastal city located to the north of Santiago,[8] where he lived much of his adolescenct life.[9] In that town he met his first love, to whom he dedicated a song called "Para Ti". He had originally planned to study civil engineering.[10]

Garmendia and his brother formed a Pop/Rock band called Zudex with some of his friends when he was 13. In addition, he started uploading videos of his band to YouTube since 2006.[11][12] German, who was the lead singer of the group,[13] made several presentations in youth festivals and schools together with Diego and in the early 2010s, he performed as the vocalist of his group Feeling Every Sunset.[14][15]

Career

Internet career

On 9 September 2011 he uploaded his first video on HolaSoyGerman channel titled Las cosas obvias de la vida (lit. "The obvious things in life").[16] The videos on the channel consisted of humorous monologues talking about everyday life situations.[17] In an interview with BBC Mundo, Garmendia stated that "The humor I do on YouTube is quite innocent. I've always liked making people laugh by making fun of myself, never of others."[18][19]

In 2013, Garmendia another called JuegaGerman, where he mainly uploads gameplay videos and other content.[20] That same year he uploaded the most popular video on his channel HolaSoyGerman and one of the most viral Chilean videos entitled Los Hermanos (Brothers).[21][22] In August 2014, he won the "Digital Icon" category from MTV Millennial Awards,[23][24][25] in which the "maximum representative of the Latin American culture that consumes Twitter, YouTube and Instagram" is chosen.[26][27][28]

In 2013 a Spanish YouTuber named YoLordestructor uploaded a video claiming that Garmendia had used bots, citing a deleted HolaSoyGerman video, Internet y Redes Sociales, which featured various websites branded as YouLikeHits, SocialClump, and AddSocials, which were supposed to use bots.

On 20 November 2016, Garmendia uploaded the last HolaSoyGerman video, Como Encontrar Trabajo.[48] On a 2018 video, Esto pasa si busco mi nombre en YouTube, explained that it was because of the time and effort it took to create each HolaSoyGerman video[49][50] in response to a Spanish YouTuber who accused him of taking drugs to make his videos.[51] In August 2018 he won in the Favorite Gamer category of the Kids' Choice Awards Mexico,[52][53] held in the national auditorium of Mexico City.[54] In 2019, his channel HolaSoyGerman, which until then had 37 million, was in a confrontation for being the Spanish-speaking channel with the most subscribers worldwide with the Mexican company Badabun. Later Badabun surpassed him in subscribers.[55]

In September 2018, the Facebook page Uah published a two-minute fragment from a JuegaGerman video, Oh Por Dios Soy Emo (transl. "Oh My God I'm Emo"), in which Garmendia said "things that a woman never has to do: dress in a miniskirt and go out to a bar, one; go alone, two; play pool where she obviously always lifts her butt and men obviously get horny."[56][57] The clip became viral through social networks. Several days later, Garmendia uploaded a video entitled An apology and a reflection to continue advancing in which he apologized for comments made in the 2014 video. On 28 September, Alex Christiansen published an article that criticized the video, affirming that "continues to the letter all the apologies of YouTubers, who have already seen figures such as PewDiePie and Logan Paul".[58][59]
