Germán grew up in his hometown, and had a tough childhood; when he was only three years old, his father died in a car crash just days before Christmas. To make his childhood worse, Germán didn’t see his brother until his early teens, when he moved to Los Vilos. In order to escape from all the tragedy, Germán turned to music, and once with his brother, the two started a band called Zudex.
Unfortunately, no exact information about his education is available in the media, but during interviews, Garmendia stated that he and his mother moved a lot, and he attended a number of schools.
His career beginnings trace back to 2011, when he started his YouTube channel, HolaSoyGerman. His first video was entitled “Obvious Things In Life”, which has now attracted more than 13 million views. After receiving a considerable attention from people all over the world, Garmendia continued uploading videos that concern everyday life, but in a funny and personal way, and also video game-related videos. In a short span of time, his channel was breaking all the records for Spanish-speaking YouTube channels, and he is now the most-subscribed YouTuber from the Spanish language spoken area, and the second most popular YouTuber worldwide with over 32 million subscribers. His videos have been viewed 17 billion times, which has increased his net worth to a large degree. Inspired by his massive success, Germán started another channel HolaSoyGeraman2, and soon after JuegaGerman. On these two channels, he has a total following of 25 million subscribers.
Not having forgotten his passion for music, Germán also remained active as a musician; after his first band Zudex fell apart, he and his brother started another band, Feeling Every Sunset, with which he has released two albums – “Cuando Desses Recordar Mi Voz”, and “Die Trying. Most recently, he started the band Ancud, and also a YouTube channel of the same name, on which Germán posts music, band events, live shows and news. So far, they have released the EP “Así es normal” in 2016, the sales of which also increased Germán’s wealth.
Germán has also tried himself as a solo act, releasing the EP “Homemade”, consisting of four songs, “Don’t Let Me Go”, “This Is Life”, “Those Eyes”, and “We Believe In Love But Doesn’t Believe in Us”. The sales of the EP have also contributed to his net worth.
Germán is an accomplished author too; his book “#ChupaElPerro“ came out in 2016, further increasing his net worth.
To speak further of his accomplishments, Germán voiced a Spanish version of the character Julian in the animated film “Ice Age: Collision Course”.
Regarding his personal life, Germán was in a relationship with Allison Smith, who was often featured in his videos. However, the two broke-up, which apparently caused several controversies and mocking on the internet for whatever reason.
