Early life

Seth Everman was born Set Erik Adrian Summanen in Stockholm on 19 October 1993.[2]

Career

Everman created his YouTube channel in May 2013, but had gone viral on multiple occasions since 2006.[3] Many of these viral videos did not show his face, but one of them that did was a viral video titled "Nyan Cat 10 HOURS REACTION VIDEO! (yes, I actually watched it for 10 hours)", published on 6 December 2011 on a channel called TheGamePro. The video received over 1.5 million views and was re-uploaded onto his Seth Everman channel under the title "my old secret videos" on 3 April 2018, accumulating another 2 million views.[4]

In September 2015, Everman published a mashup on his Tumblr account of Drake's "Hotline Bling" combined with Nintendo 64 games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, and Mario Kart.[5] This post was his first viral video under the Seth Everman name, accumulating over 600,000 notes on the platform. The first video to go viral on the Seth Everman YouTube channel was called "When you're a classical pianist but you listened to hip hop once", posted on 13 February 2016. In the video, he turns a rendition of "Für Elise" into Eminem's "Mockingbird" and a rendition of "Moonlight Sonata" into Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E.".[6] The video has received over 30 million views as of January 2023.[7]

In November 2019, Everman became the person with the most liked YouTube comment and the first comment to hit 1 million likes.[8] The comment reads "i'm the bald guy" and was left under the music video for Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy".[8] As of January 2023, the comment has over 3.25 million likes.[9]

On 1 January 2023, Everman announced that he would be stepping away from his YouTube channel at the end of the year to focus on other projects and challenged himself to upload as much content as possible for the rest of the year, which he described as a chance to "make all the videos [he] never managed to make over the years".[10]. On 30 May 2023, he announced that his final day of producing content would be 27 November 2023,[11] and on 19 August 2023, he announced that he would mark his departure with 100 days of daily content.[12]
