Early life and education

Nogla was born in County Limerick, Ireland. As a child, he would play videogames on his brothers' gaming consoles, later getting his own Nintendo 64 at the age of 16. He studied early childhood care and education at the Institute of Technology, Tralee, before dropping out to work on his YouTube channel full-time. In 2014, during his time studying at Tralee, Nogla reached a million subscribers on his YouTube channel.[1] [2] [3]
