David Martin Nagle (Irish: Dáithí Máirtín Mac an Óglaigh; born 6 July 1992), known professionally by his online name Nogla (formerly Daithi De Nogla), is an Irish YouTuber, comedian and singer, best known for making gaming videos. He has been described as one of Ireland's top YouTubers.

Early life and education

[edit]

David Martin Nagle was born a triplet on 6 July, 1992, 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.[2] 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 there, Nogla reached a million subscribers on his YouTube channel.[3][4][5]

Internet career

[edit]

Nogla began his YouTube channel in 2012 under the name 'Daithi De Nogla', making Let's Play videos of video games.[3][4][6] He has been called one of Ireland's top or most successful YouTubers by The Times,[7] The Irish Times,[6] Irish Independent,[8] and Irish Examiner.[9] Previously he had the second most popular YouTube channel in Ireland.[4][5] As of October 2021, he has the third most subscribed channel in Ireland.[10] His content features himself playing games with a group of online friends and content creators, colloquially known as the "Vanoss Crew", with its "leader" being fellow YouTuber VanossGaming.[2]

In 2020, Nogla headed one of ten official YouTube gaming squads composed of online content creators to compete in the game Call of Duty: Warzone. The tournament's prize of $100,000 was donated to the Call of Duty Endowment in honour of Military Appreciation Month.[11] Nogla officially rebranded his channel from 'Daithi De Nogla' to just 'Nogla' on Christmas Day in 2021.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Nogla is Roman Catholic, and a cousin of hurler Seán Finn.[13] Nogla lives in a bungalow he bought in County Limerick, and frequently travels to Los Angeles for his YouTube work.[3][8][9] He has five siblings, including a triplet brother and sister.[14] He and his fiancé Aliyah have a daughter who was born in 2019.[15]
