The Meteoric Rise to Stardom
Middleton was born on 8 November 1991 in Aldershot, England, as the elder of two siblings. His father was in the army and the family moved often. A traumatic incident in his childhood was his parents’ divorce. He attended Northampton University and started a YouTube channel dedicated to Pokémon while at university, in which he called himself "PokemanDanLv45". Middleton created the channel The Diamond Minecart in 2012. It is a more professional, children-focused gaming channel. The name of the YouTube channel was eventually changed to TheDiamondMinecart / DanTDM. Thus, from being a mere child born in a middle class family in a British military town, Dan has now become the owner of one of the most popular YouTube Channels. Talking about gaming, Dan's original passion, he won the Guinness World Record for "Most goals scored in a game of Rocket League for a team of 2" and "Most goals scored in a game of Rocket League (team of three)."
