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.[5] 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]

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 Enduathon, 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]
