YouTube career Years after he moved to South Carolina, he made his first YouTube channel, DatrixSwayze. He got the inspiration of the name from the background song, Darix Togni by Digi G'Alessio ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zVY-ITSOPKU ) which he mistaken for (Datrix Togni) and the last name from YouTuber Ryan Swaze. People mistakes his name for Patrick Swayze, so he shortened it to Datrix. One day, he was bored in the car and changed it to Datryx, but he googled his channel, and it didn’t show up, so he changed it back. The next year, he changed his Instagram to KickTheAiden. He loved the “KickThe” part, and was torn on what to change the name of the channel to. Several days later, he had complications on what he wanted the name to be, KickTheDatrix, which he loved. In 2019, he changed the name to Saltyville.
