Early life
Berghult was born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden.[8] He was born to father Bosse Berghult who is also a musician,[9] and who encouraged him in his musical endeavours growing up, such as providing both instruments and music production software.[2]
Berghult graduated in 2014 from Musikmakarna where he studied Songwriting & Music Production.[10]
Career
Berghult's YouTube channel was created on 25 July 2010.[11] The first video uploaded was an original song titled "Falling in love", and followed this by releasing a mixture of original songs such as "Ugly", "DATING A DOUCHEBAG", and "Numb"; along with covers of artists such as Maroon 5, OneRepublic, Imagine Dragons, and Taylor Swift. He also created songs with samples of PewDiePie's voice which gained attention.[11]
"One Guy, 14 Voices" released in March 2014 was Berghult's first viral YouTube video which garnered wide attention; he reprised this video idea, producing the video "One Guy, 15 voices" in August 2015 which received widespread media attention,[12][13][14][15][16] and Berghult made an appearance on Good Morning America where he impersonated rock stars live.[17] The latest iteration of this series released February 2017 is "One Guy, 43 Voices (with music) - Roomie", which has over 77.5 million views and is Berghult's most viewed video.[4][18]
On 31st March 2019, Berghult collaborated with PewDiePie and Boyinaband to create the song and music video "Congratulations".[19][20] The song was based on sarcastically congratulating T-Series for surpassing PewDiePie in subscribers while bringing up the corporation's past scandals, with Berghult singing the main chorus and being credited for Music & Lyrics and for Beat modification & vocal production.[21][22][23] In April 2019, T-Series sought a court order to remove 'Congratulations' from YouTube; access to the video has now been blocked in India.[24]
In August 2019, Berghult began a new YouTube series in which he attempts to make perceived 'bad' songs into better songs, by auto-tuning poor vocals, giving the songs new beats and adding harmonies and extra vocals. He has done this with several well-known songs such as ‘Flossin’ by The Backpack Kid; 'Monster' by Gabbie Hanna; and 'Friday' by Rebecca Black.[25]
