Being a YouTuber seems to be the in thing at the moment, as the sharing website is experiencing more and more people making a career from the platform every day. But as appealing as a career on YouTube may seem, the task is enormous, because before you can be known as a successful YouTuber, you must have done your homework well, from creating a name for yourself to setting up a channel and expanding it. Onision is one of those people who took the bull by the horns, met the above criteria, and proved to be one of the many YouTubers you can count on.

Onision Bio (Age)

Onision was born on 11 November 1985 as Gregory Daniel Jackson. Greg’s parents are said to have been divorced after his father was convicted of sexual assault against a minor, Greg was only two years old at the time.

There was conflicting information about where he was born and raised. At first, people thought he grew up in Oregon because he once mentioned that he went to school in Oregon, then he cleared the air and said he never lived in Oregon.

Other available information indicated that his birthplace and hometown would be Auburn, WA, and some others said it was Washington (but we have yet to confirm this).

Greg was committed to a juvenile detention center at age 15 after repeatedly kicking his father in the chest in self-defense for physically assaulting him. This experience would explain why the themes of most of his videos are about his struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts – all is life.

In one of his videos, he told how he held a gun to his head while serving in the Air Force. Greg has used his experience quite well to help others as a peer counselor.

He loves his mother very much as she can be seen in some of his videos like “The Ghosts Caught On Camera”.
