Name Origins
His first YouTube channel was called ‘GT’ I’m about to go Ham,’ based on an old Jay-Z song. He later changed it to ‘Ham’ when he joined the Goonsquad, and then changed it again when he got banned for trolling on Xbox. ‘Hamz’ comes from ‘Ham is my name.’
Gaming Origins
Hamz grew up playing video games occasionally, with one of his first being Pocket Pool. As he got older, he got into pro-skating, so he never really had time for gaming. He did sometimes play with his younger brother.
After high school, he went on to work for his uncle as a printing press operator doing 12-hour shifts from 14:00 to 02:00 in 2007. He would then get home at around 03:00 and had no-one to hang out with, so he bought himself and Xbox with Gears of War and that was when he got his first console and really got into gaming.
Professional Gaming
He opened his Twitch account in March 2012. started uploading content to YouTube in September 2012 while he was under house arrest for three weeks for breaking and entering. He started out watching other YouTubers’ troll montages and then decided to try creating his own content. His channel really started growing when he got into <em>GTA V </em>and met the member s of the Goonzquad and then began creating their ‘cops gone wild content,’ and then later his glitch content. His glitch content also helped him to meet other content creators who asked him how to use the glitches.
HE joined Team Kaliber’s pro-<em>CS:GO </em>roster in July 2015, and later went on to work as their general manager. However, he decided to leave in October 2019 as he felt that he and his teammates visions and focuses had changed. In 2020, he slowed down streaming on Twitch. He stopped streaming altogether in September 2021.
