Family
His parents came around to him when he was signed on with SF Shock. He also has a younger brother.
Gaming Origins
Danteh started playing video games on his dad’s PlayStation 1 when he was very young. While he was growing up, he played various games such as Ratchet & Clank, Need for Speed and Kingdom Hearts on the PlayStation 2.
Aside from video games, he also played soccer from when he was in kindergarten up until his senior year of high school. He started playing Overwatch during the summer of his junior year of high school.
He transitioned from PlayStation to PC when he got into Minecraft during his freshman year of high school. After a while, he created a YouTube account so that he could subscribe to Minecraft content creators. But he soon became interested in trying it out himself.
He became a fulltime pro-player as soon as he graduated from high school.
Professional Gaming
He started uploading Minecraft content to his YouTube channel during his sophomore year of high school and quickly gained a following so that by the beginning of his junior year he had already amassed over 50,000 subscribers, and 100,000 by that summer. However, it was always a hobby to him, as he never considered YouTube to be a viable career path due to the lack of monetization at the time, largely due to copyright restrictions.
He found YouTube really difficult to monetize his content on, so he eventually transitioned to live streaming on Twitch in March 2016. His Twitch channel grew pretty quickly due to his YouTube following, but he put it on hold during his senior year so that he could focus on soccer.
At the end of the soccer season, he started taking Overwatch seriously and decided to start creating highlights content for it instead. As his subscriber base grew, he realized that it might be possible for him to pursue a fulltime career as a streamer and pro-gamer.
He joined Denial eSports in February 2017 but left a couple of months later in order to form Arc 6 with a few of his friends from Denial. He and his teammates started performing well in tournaments, which attracted the attention of other pro-organizations. They began receiving offers, so he decided to join San Francisco Shock in August 2017 and remained with them for a year.
In September 2018, he was traded to the Houston Outlaws in exchange for Smurf and has remained with them ever since.
