Career
Ortiz started his YouTube channel on January 10, 2014. His first ever video was uploaded around April 2014, titled "Trolldawgz gettin started". He made his first animation video, which was a story about how he got into a car crash, on September 5, 2016. He continued with animation and gaming content, until he later quit gaming entirely and focused solely on animation.
On March 22, 2019, Ortiz released a song titled "I'm Something Else", along with an EP. It was produced by American production duo Foolish Ways and is a follow-up to his video "Just Be Yourself". The song goes along with other Animation Squad members making songs, like "Empty" by JaidenAnimations and "Life Is Fun" by TheOdd1sOut, both of which were produced by Boyinaband.
On October 12, 2019, Ortiz released a song titled "Help." The song also has callbacks to his "Just be Yourself" video.
Incidents
Demonetization
On November 22, 2017, Ortiz posted a tweet about his latest video at the time being demonetized. Later on, he revealed that all of his videos were demonetized. Ortiz contacted YouTube many times, and nothing helped. Ortiz left his MCN off, and that disabled his monetization. He tried getting his monetization back, and it didn't work. On January 2, 2018, Ortiz's monetization was turned back on.
Locked out of YouTube account
On April 14, 2018, Ortiz tweeted about being locked out of his YouTube account. He had been locked out for nearly three weeks before he tweeted about it. He messaged YouTube on Twitter if they could help, because he reset his password and typed it wrong when he wrote it on paper. He tried to reset it again but was denied because they didn't think it was him. He was logged on to his computer and phone but couldn't upload.
Ortiz was denied a third time for a password reset and claimed that his job had "turned into a nightmare". On April 19, 2018, Ortiz was able to log onto his YouTube account again.
Personal life
Ortiz used to live in Arizona. He has stated that he has ADHD. He has an older sister and a younger sister, and he is also an uncle.
