Berghult started his YouTube channel in 2010. In 2014, he rose to prominence by uploading a series of celebrity singer impressions. The first of which was titled “One Guy, 14 Voices” which became the first of Berghult’s many viral videos. The next year Berghult released a follow up “One Guy, 15 Voices” in August 2015. He was subsequently invited to perform on Nyhetsmorgon in September 2015, followed by Good Morning America that October.

In 2014, Berghult began to release music with fellow Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie (who is also a Gothenburg native). The single “His Name is Pewdiepie” was released in 2014 and was made using samples of PewDiePie’s voice; later that year, “Fabulous” was released, followed by “Brofist” in 2016. In 2019, Berghult again teamed up with PewDiePie and longtime collaborator Boyinaband on the song “Congratulations”. The song peaked at number one on the US Comedy Digital Track Sales published by Billboard and has over 200 million views on YouTube as of 2021.

In December 2019, Berghult uploaded daily videos as part of a series called “Daily December”. In response to positive feedback, he continued releasing daily videos.

On 20 July 2020, while still on break, Berghult released an album single “Livin’ For That” on Spotify under the name “Lil Pitchy”. The album consists of the song “Livin’ For That”, plus its instrumental and a cappella versions. On 31 May 2021, Berghult announced another hiatus from YouTube. He cited fatigue from uploading daily videos, and wanting to shift focus to larger-scale projects. He ended that hiatus on 28 September, with the video “We Bought 100 Microphones To Do This…”.
