Nicholas Amyoony (born March 14, 1995), better known online as Nick Eh 30, is a Canadian Twitch streamer, YouTuber and professional gamer. He is mostly known for his Fortnite content, where he is particularly known for being family-friendly.[2][3]

Early life

Nicholas Amyoony[4] was born on March 14, 1995[5] and is of Lebanese Canadian descent.[6] He was raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia and became interested in video games at a young age, particularly The Last of Us. He attended Prince Andrew High School in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.[7] During his high school years, Amyoony received high grades while actively participating in taekwondo, guitar lessons, and football. With aspirations to become a doctor, Amyoony dedicated much of his time focusing on his studies, leading him to give up extracurricular activities and spending time with his friends. Whenever he needed a break, Amyoony would play on his PlayStation 3.[8] His name "Nick Eh 30" comes from "Nick" being apart of his name, the "Eh" originating from the first letter of his last name, A, as a nod to the Canadian "eh" stereotype, and the "30" coming from his high school football jersey number.[7]

Career

"Nick Eh 30," who is well-known for creating family-friendly content,[9][10] launched his YouTube channel in 2014, where he initially created content related to The Last of Us. Additionally, he explored other titles such as Uncharted 4 and Resident Evil 7.[11] His father, currently serving as his manager, granted Nick Eh 30 one year to pursue his gaming career.[7] In March 2016, he received a shout-out from PewDiePie.[9][12] The following year, in 2017, he started streaming professionally and began playing Fortnite in December.[11] Despite previously studying to become a doctor at Dalhousie University, Nick Eh 30 decided to drop out and pursue his gaming career full-time.[8] In 2018, Nick Eh 30, along with StoneMountain64, signed with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA).[13]

Starting from September 1, 2019, Nick Eh 30, as a Fortnite streamer, made the switch from livestreaming on YouTube to Twitch,[11] as a result of his signing onto the platform.[8] While being a popular YouTube streamer at that time, Nick Eh 30 continued to create videos on the platform.[11] Subsequently, he earned a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Games category for the 2020 list.[14][15][16] On November 11, 2020, Nick Eh 30 signed with Luminosity Gaming, as announced during the Enthusiast Gaming Live Expo.[17] Later on, he parted ways with the organization on August 29, 2022.[18] On November 22, 2020, Nick Eh 30 partnered with Epic Games to host his own Fortnite tournament titled the "Nick Eh 30 Cup".[19][20][21] In 2023, he joined forces with Mainframe Studios to produce Endurathon, an animated series created in Unreal Engine 5.[22][23] In August 2023, Nick Eh 30 hosted a $50,000 Fortnite Twitch Rivals tournament.[24]

At present, Nick Eh 30 lives with his parents, who both assist him in his streaming career.[7] Unlike most creators, Amyoony includes his parents to actively participate in his career. In a 2018 video, Amyoony unboxed his 1 million YouTube Play Button alongside his parents.[25]
