About Me
Darkmage4 or simply Mage, is a lifelong gamer, videographer, and photographer with a passion for horror, FPS, and adventure games. Born with a creative spark, he’s proudly used the 'Darkmage4' moniker since age 11. His journey into online entertainment began in 2012, and by 2013, he officially launched Darkmage4 Productions. For Mage, platforms like YouTube and Twitch are more than outlets—they’re a way of life.
His creative ventures include the unscripted found-footage film A Trapped Soul, a project he crafted purely from imagination, filming on the fly with his brothers—nailing the vision after a few takes. Streaming on Twitch has been equally thrilling, fueled by his love for connecting with audiences live.
Mage’s roots trace back to 1999–2000, when he’d record PlayStation 1 gameplay on VHS tapes to share with friends—a nostalgic precursor to today’s streaming culture. By 2013, he evolved from pointing a camera at his TV to using a Roxio capture card, uploading raw PS3 and Xbox 360 footage to YouTube. His editing skills emerged in 2015–2016 with the help of an Elgato Capture Card, and a better computer, marking a turning point in his content creation.
Today, Mage operates a high-tech setup: three computers, four monitors, and a Canon 80D as his webcam. He also streams with a gang of “weird kids grown weird adults” on the #SpookyFam Panel. As a VTuber, he streams a diverse range of games—from horror to cozy titles—while producing music across genres like trap, EDM, dark techno, dubstep, hardstyle, and lo-fi. For Mage, creating isn’t just a hobby; it’s a deep-seated passion that drives everything he does.
