## Biography

### Early Life

Carlos Ernesto Erazo was born on January 12, 1992, in El Salvador. His dad was a former Catholic, while his mom was Baptist. The youngest of two siblings, he was "very white and blond," which led to his family calling him "chele," "chelito," or "Carlitos." As a child, he paid much attention to preachings at his local evangelical church, and did everything with his older brother. "At the right time, my parents enrolled me in a Salvadoran school," according to Carlos himself.

He began his interest in music when he began watching MTV at the age of 10. At parties, he would grab the DJ's microphone and start singing or rapping for his friends. Because of his exposure to the media, his biggest dream was to start a media company called GTG (Glory To God). "From 8th to 12th grade, I (Carlos) developed an interest in video editing and graphic design."

### Teenage Years

In 2007, a friend of his nicknamed "Chaby" got a new camera, and both began recording videos of themselves dancing and uploaded it to YouTube. Carlos and the rest of his friends made more videos about sketches, jokes, and their real-life adventures. During that time, Carlos was especially good at basketball, but also went threw confusion and possibly even depression. God used this difficult situation in his life to turn it around and give him a better life. Carlos began getting more involved at church because he didn't just want friends; he wanted Christian friends. He joined a Christian group called "Eagle Wings Youth" and participated in their events, concerts, and dramas. That is where he finally made Christian friends who helped him focus on God and made him mature.

### College & YouTube

In 12th grade, Carlos had the urge to tell his high school friends about Christianity and his life experiences so far. He attended Calvin University in the United States, continued developing his interests and talents, and began his career in Economics and Communications. It is around this time that he met his future wife, Brooke Kuzera Erazo. During his second year at Calvin University, he discovered that people made vlogs on YouTube for others to see, which he found both weird and interesting. That is when, on December 28, 2011, he began his YouTube channel, Proyecto GTG, in the hopes of sharing the Word of God to everyone around the world, including his friends in El Salvador. This worked, and now people watch his channel from all over the world, including in El Salvador, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina.

### Later Life

In 2014, Carlos got married to Brooke Kuzera Erazo, and she gave birth to Elías Erazo in September 2022. Carlos has since become a musical artist and now posts videos of his preachings.
