For a brief history of my online history:THIS IS VERY WIP IF YOU READ THIS.In late 2013, as a typical 13 year old, I began uploading a Minecraft Let's Play series to YouTube. Of course it was typically awful, but I had a lot of fun making it. Back then, I went by "E4io" online. The name was pretty meaningless as I had just taken it from a Game Grumps video. Throughout 2014, I started several more Let's Play series' with games like Don't Starve, Dishonored, and various Minecraft challenge maps.I was basically invisibile online during 2015, but returned to YouTube in early 2016. My videos took on a much more shitposty tone fueled by teenage angst and general pessimism. During this era, I didn't feel comfortable enough to be genuine, and instead opted to never be serious. It was around mid 2016 when I switched to "Biznasty" as my primary username. From early to mid 2018, I reprised my classic Minecraft Let's Play in the same world I originally played in.In mid 2018 I decided to take another step back from the internet and my accounts went pretty much dormant. But, around this time I became more seriously interested in music production and started creating songs that weren't just purposefully horrible or ironic. During this time I mostly kept to myself, online and offline, and while I did upload some of my music, I basically didn't tell anyone about it. I also started building my record collection in mid 2019I returned to YouTube once more in late 2020, with a mix of light-hearted skits and parodies, and a short-lived album review series. I abandoned the reviews a little over a year later because I didn't like how I was doing them, and unfortunately never found a way I did like. But, I've since remained fairly active on my channel with short joke videos. I also became very engaged with the Boards of Canada community, as they had become one of my new favourite bands, and created the "Average Boards of Canada Fan" video which has gone on to be my most popular, as well as the infamous Hooper Bay hoax. I kept making lots of music in this time, but still mostly kept it for myself.In mid 2023, I wiped my music from the internet and effectively restart my discography. Over the years, I had created several albums under multiple aliases but decided to private all of them and refocus my online output and image. This continued in 2024 when I finally embraced being a furry and came out as gay. In mid 2024 I put out a proper debut release, and shortened my online alias to just "Biz"Currently I am preparing a full debut album as well as several reworked collections of my old music. I'm also working on incorporating my music production and record collecting into my youtube videos.

Since early 2024, I've been active in the furry community.I've been interested in furry art for years and in general anthropomorphic animal content since I was a kid but never engaged with the community until early 2024, when I finally decided to create a fursona. Though I can't trace the origin, for years I knew that if I was a furry, my fursona would be an otter, and Biz the otter was created and designed very quickly after looking at examples online.I attended Vancoufur in March 2025 and loved it! I'm currently working towards created my own fursuit head and I hope to have it ready for next year's con!
