Villa has said that he was abandoned by his parents shortly after his birth. His mother was a drug addict, and his father was an illegal immigrant from Costa Rica.
He and his sister had to go into foster care.
In a 2017 video for his fans, he explained his history and was barely able to choke back tears. He said that he and his sister were finally able to find people who believed in them and supported them.
They also came to rely strongly on each other. Villa said that they always held onto the belief that their brighter days were coming.
Despite these difficulties, he was able to finish high school and enroll in the University of Central Florida.
Because of his earlier struggles, Villa is generous with his donations to charities. He helps out friends and family members who are in need.
He frequently hosts giveaways and contests to his fans where they can win money for being the first to like a video or other activities.

Early Videos
He was still in college when he began posting online videos in 2009. He started with videos of himself playing various online games and humorous content about his life.
He enjoyed making the videos and seeing the enthusiastic responses from his fans.
At this time, he had a small audience. His audience did not hit the high numbers until 2014 when he posted a video of himself playing NBA 2K15.
That video was viewed by hundreds of thousands of viewers and gave him his first big boost. He began to see that there were real possibilities for creating a strong YouTube presence.
He began regularly posting content every two days.
After this success, he decided to start a Twitch account. Although it is now used by streamers of all kinds, the Twitch streaming service was primarily used by gamers when it launched.
Villa started posting his gaming videos there and built up a large following.
