Personal Life
Purpled currently lives in the state of Virginia with his mother. He has two older brothers who attend college. Purpled claims to be 6'3" (191 cm) tall, but he is assumed to be much shorter. He plays tennis, and is #1 on his team. He is very close with fellow content creator Wallibear, and they visit each other often.
History
Purpled was inspired to start uploading YouTube videos due to a fellow former BedWars player and YouTuber, Secret_Fish, when they encountered each other during a Solo BedWars game. Secret_Fish mentioned the fact that he was a streamer, so Purpled was inspired to start streaming on his own after watching a few of his streams.
Livestreams
On July 21, 2020, Purpled officially rebranded his second YouTube channel Burpled to PurpledLIVE, while adding a completely new channel PurpledVODs, in order to showcase stream highlights and Twitch VODs for viewers who cannot watch his full streams. On November 5, 2020, Purpled changed his Twitch username from Burpled to Purpled.

| Beta 2 | November 23, 2019 | LoverFella | 8th | 4th | Minecraft Saturdays did a reboot after this season, causing the seasons to reset. |

Minecraft Ultimate Hunger Games
| Season | Date | Teammates | Team Placement | Individual Placement | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | May 30, 2020 | BrodyAnimates | 53rd | 101st | Brody placed 95th individually. |
| 2 | July 25, 2020 | BrodyAnimates
WallibearRobbo |
23rd | 55th | This season introduced a gulag system where dead team members may be revived if they beat a parkour challenge after dying. This made it hard to tell the actual Team Placement Result, therefore 23rd is the rough estimate of their placement. |
| 3 | November 5, 2020 | BrodyAnimates
StarMiner6 |
24th | 66th | Again, this season implemented the gulag system like Season 2 of MCU,
therefore the Team Placement is a rough estimate. |
