Then, Azelart first posted his short lifestyle video The Start of My YouTube! back in August 2016. In the first year of starting his channel, he used to film lifestyle and travel videos which helped him garner 7,000 subscribers on his channel. You guessed it right.

For someone who was only trained for a month, Ben surely had the guts to participate in a YouTuber vs TikTokers Boxing match against YouTuber, Landon McBroom, which is itself a challenge for a YouTuber, although it is starting to be quite prevalent these days.
