At first he livestreamed on Twitch as a hobby, but he began doing it as a career in 2014.

After his mother's death, Asmongold tweeted, "Earlier this week, my mom passed away. I'm honestly still in shock, it's hard to imagine that it's even real. I don't know if I'll ever be able to come to terms with it. She was my best friend and the light of my life. I'll love you, always and forever."
