Matthew Rinaudo (born February 14, 1995), better known by his online alias Mizkif, is an American streamer, YouTuber, professional gamer, and Cameraman for Mitch Jones.

Ronaldo had gotten his start into streaming through filming for larger streamers like Iceposideon until he developed a name for himself (a tactic typically referred to as leeching). But his popularity increased when he and many other streamers began streaming their daily lives and the challenges that came with being rich.

Early life
Matthew Rinaudo was born on February 14,1995 in the State of Virginia, to American parents Michael and Tracey Rinaudo. Michael is Italian, while Tracey is of Italian, German, Jewish, and Pakistani descent. Rinaudo has two siblings, a sister named Emily and brother named Andrew. Emily is also a well known YouTuber.

His youth included video games, sports, and being a general nuisance in his North Carolina neighborhood.

YouTube and Streaming
Rinaudo started creating funny 'story of' YouTube videos about various streamers in January 2016. He made friends with other bigger content creators and convinced them to try watching his content. His viewer count went up drastically within a short time and he was so successful that his channel took off within the first few months. However, even though he was attracting thousands of viewers, he wasn’t monetizing any of the content. This inspired him to transition to Twitch, as he saw the potential for him to make a living as a full-time streamer. However, for the first couple of years, he only streamed on Twitch a few times a month.

In early-2018, Rinaudo started creating his ‘Who is - ?’ joke streamer biographic video series. This caused his channel to really begin to grow and for him to begin streaming full time. He attributes most of his success to Erobb221 and a few other streamers who supported him in encouraging people to watch his YouTube videos, as well as hosting him when he transitioned to streaming seriously on Twitch on July 5, 2018.

However, it took a while for his channel to grow, as although he had 300 viewers during his first livestream, this number dropped drastically when they realized that he was streaming World of Warcraft, as it wasn't popular at the time. He therefore decided to stick to chatting and variety streams until he found something that his viewers would really enjoy watching. He got his break one day after watching Pokelawls playing Marbles on stream and deciding to try it out himself. For some reason, the Twitch community really took to it and his channel quickly started to grow. So, he stuck to it for a few months until he went back to variety and chatting, by which point he was doing comfortably on Twitch.

Relationships
In 2019, Rinaudo entered a relationship with popular Twitch streamer and Animal Conservationist Maya "Bird Girl" Higa. It is suspected he also had an affair with political react streamer Hasan Piker after Piker reportedly said on stream that "[Piker] just want[s] to fuck Mizkif" and that he would "still pick [Rinaudo] up and fuck him raw." It is predicted this put serious strain on his relationship with Higa, causing her to befriend Hasan and force him to end his pursuit of Rinaudo under terms of the Bro Code.

Health
Rinaudo was diagnosed with a rare heart condition known as viral myocarditis that caused him to take a break from streaming in 2017. In 2019, he was checked into a Psychiatric Hospital due to recklessly taking a strange international medicine. It was at this hospital where he introduced his father to Maya Higa.

Public Image
Popular Reddit forum LiveStreamFail describes Mizkif as "fucking autistic."

Twitchmetrics.com, a site that measures the statistics of Twitch, shows Mizkif is currently in the top 50 most watched streamers on twitch. Twitchmetrics also says Mizkif's content is not mature, however that is disputable, as he occasionally discusses stocks when not staring at a wall or discussing his sister's sexual life.

Charity
Rinaudo has donated to the Five Cities Home Charity stream that bird streamer Maya Higa hosted. An old clip has resurfaced, showing Matthew promising his community a 24 hour wall-staring charity stream. He has claimed he will follow through with the stream during Maya's return sometime in July-August. It is unconfirmed whether this stream has actually happened.
