On the same day, he published his book titled “Chupaelperro” in Spanish.

The Star’s Meteoric Rise to Fame
As a child, Germán Garmendia enjoyed making others laugh, but his primary passion was music. When he was 13 years old, he and his older brother founded the band “Zudex” by playing various instruments. In August 2006, he began uploading their songs to the YouTube channel ‘Zudex’ after beginning to create music with his brother and pals after completing his education.
On a dull day, he made a humorous movie titled ‘Obvious Things Of Life’ for his friends, and on September 9, 2011, after being urged by a friend, he uploaded it to his YouTube channel ‘HolaSoyGerman’. His buddies began sharing the video with their friends, and within a short amount of time, it became extremely popular on the Internet.
In less than seven years, he has acquired 31 million members to his primary channel and an additional 17 million subscribers to his secondary channel.
Following his breakthrough as a YouTuber, he became so absorbed in creating material for his channel that he lost interest in making music for his band, Zudex (later renamed Feeling Every Sunset). However, he finally returned to music and relaunched the band as ‘Ancud’ after two former members of ‘Zudex’ departed the group.
What Sets German Garmendia Apart
Germán Garmendia draws inspiration for his videos from a variety of everyday occurrences. Whenever he encounters something amusing, he records it on his phone and files the concept on his computer, using it when it suits the theme he is currently working on.
His YouTube channel’s meteoric rise can be attributed to his unique blend of innocent humor based on common, daily topics that everyone can connect to. Ex-girlfriends, school, phobias, and addictions make up the majority of his monologues’ subject matter.
However, he frequently makes fun of himself in his comedy sketches, but not others. Germán, who was bullied as a child, says that he has no ill will toward anyone and that he creates his movies in good fun.
Disputes and Scandals
Germán Garmendia became entangled in a bot scandal shortly after obtaining 1 million followers on his channel ‘HolaSoyGerman’ within six months. LordDestroyer, a YouTuber, accused him of cheating by displaying an old video from his channel to reveal the uses of bot websites. Soon after deleting the video, Germán released a second video in which he claimed he was merely testing if bots function at all.
