Gaming Origins
Teeqo’s first hobby that he was really into was Lego and was the main way that he spent his free time when he was little. When he was in grade school, his dad got a PC with Windows 95 and the two of them started playing video games together.
At nine years old, he started playing football and gradually moved on to play a variety of other sports as well while he was growing up. He met a lot of his IRL friends through sports while he was at school. This was important for him, as he has always been an introvert and was quite shy when he was younger.
As he grew older, his dad also got him a variety of consoles, including a PlayStation and Xbox. However, it was when he got an Xbox 360 as a teenager that he became obsessed with video games and completely lost interest in sports. When he was sixteen, he started high school and wound up switching from maining Counter-Strike to Call of Duty, because that his what his new friends were into. With the release of CoD: Modern Warfare 2, he got really into sniping and started watching YouTube videos in order to improve.
Professional Gaming
After a while, he decided to try out uploading his own CoD spinning videos to YouTube as well. However, he became so addicted to it that he completely lost all focus on his school work and spent every free moment dedicated solely to gaming and content creation. He later deleted his channel when he got a more advanced recording device in order to start anew in 2011. Within a few months, he was approached to join FaZe Clan and did so on April 22, 2011. In July 2012, he took a break from FaZe and streaming after getting burnt out from trick-shotting.
After two years of struggling to find a new direction to his life and almost completely giving up gaming, he had a dream that he, Faze Temperrr and FaZe Banks would be moving in together in Boston. He told Temperr about it, who immediately offered him the chance to come back. However, they continued to discuss it for another couple of months until Teeqo was willing to commit and prove that he was committed to the grind. He decided to start out with CoD: Black Ops 2 and was obviously rusty, so it took him a couple of weeks of consistent effort to regain his skills. He and Temperrr then discussed how best to reintroduce him and they eventually decided to just randomly release a montage video onto all of the FaZe members channels with a link to his Twitter in May 2014. He instantly gained 15,000 followers and has been a member ever since.
He opened his Twitch channel in March 2015 and generally produces either fps or IRL content. This is not a family-friendly channel.
Income
According to his chat bot, he has ~6,130 subscribers. Therefore, his base monthly income should therefore be at least $21,455 USD, before receiving further revenue from tiered subscribers, donations, Twitch cheer bit contributions, advertisements, merchandise sales and sponsorships.
Streaming Hours
He doesn’t have a set schedule but tries to stream at least once a day.
