Arturo Fernández Neutro's biography: Peruvian streamer

If you look for Arturo Fernández Neutro on any Peruvian social network, two things are almost certain: that you have just seen a clip of his going round TikTok, and that half the comments defend him while the other half ask for his account to be closed. At barely 21 —or close to that, since he has not revealed his exact date of birth— this young man from Lima has become one of the most followed and most debated streamers in Peru. He started broadcasting Free Fire from his room during the pandemic and today he fills headlines in Infobae and El Comercio. This is his story.

Who is Arturo Fernández Neutro?

Arturo Manuel Fernández Ocampo, known as Neutro o NeutroYT, is a Peruvian content creator based in Lima. He broadcasts mainly on Kick under the username NeutroooYT. He started at 16 with Free Fire gaming and evolved towards live challenges, street interviews and in-person events that generate as much audience as controversy.

Arturo Fernández Neutro's personal details

*Source for the age: according to reports by Infobae Perú and La República (July 2025), Neutro was 20 years old, which puts his birth around 2004–2005.

Early career

The COVID-19 pandemic turned thousands of Peruvian teenagers into content creators out of necessity. Arturo Fernández was one of them, although he clearly did not stay in the crowd.

Around 2020, at 16 and from his home in Lima, he began broadcasting games of Free Fire on YouTube and Twitch. The game was his strength: fast, competitive and with a huge Latin American community. Little by little he gathered followers and got to take part in an international tournament, which marked his first milestone outside casual games.

But Neutro soon realised something many streamers take years to understand: pure gaming is hard to scale when the competition is fierce and the more established players already have a loyal audience. So he pivoted.

Professional career and achievements

The transition from gamer to IRL streamer (In Real Life) was the bet that changed everything. He stopped focusing only on video games and bet on:

• Extreme live challenges that generate tension and immediate virality.
• Street interviews with members of the public, showbiz figures and influencers.
• In-person events where he gathers his community away from the screen.
• Collaborations with streamers and celebrities, both Peruvian and international.

His current platform is Kick, where he operates as an official streamer under the username NeutroooYT. Kick gives him more content freedom than Twitch or YouTube, and that has been key to his unfiltered style.

In September 2025, Neutro publicly revealed his income as a streamer on a live broadcast, saying that at that time he earned around 1200 soles a day from his activity on Kick, a figure he himself called insufficient when comparing it with previous earnings of up to 4000 soles a day, as Líbero reported. The revelation generated a wide debate on social media about the economic sustainability of streaming as a job in Peru.

Among his concrete achievements:

• He gathered more than 300 000 followers on Instagram (@neutroogg).
• He passes 255 000 followers on Kick, his main streaming platform, according to Líbero.
• He built an active community of more than 60 000 followers on Facebook.
• He generated clips with millions of views on TikTok through fanbase accounts.
• He collaborated with the company Basher Agency, which connects streamers and influencers with brands at festivals and events.
• He led content collaborations with figures such as the former reality TV star Jossmery Toledo, with whom he travelled to Colombia in January 2025 to create joint material.
• He kept a streaming duo with Diealis, another reference of Peruvian streaming, with whom he has generated viral content repeatedly.

Notable programmes and work

Neutro's record on platforms includes several formats that have defined his style:

• Free Fire broadcasts on Twitch and YouTube (initial stage, 2020–2022): competitive games, inter-regional clashes with elite Free Fire Latam players.
• IRL streams on Kick: street interviews, reaction challenges, dynamics with guests.
• Collaborations with Peruvian creators: appearances alongside Sideral, Piero Arenas y Diealis, among others.
• Content trips: Colombia, the Dominican Republic and other Latin American countries to create material with local influencers.
• In-person events under his personal brand, including the controversial “El Rey de las Calles 2” (July 2025).
• Podcast and external interviews: he took part in the digital programme Tiempo Muerto, hosted by Giancarlo Granda, where he talked about his work and his personal life.

Personal life

Arturo Fernández has kept his private life relatively reserved, although several details have come to light through his own broadcasts.

As for relationships, he has been romantically linked with Samantha Batallanos, with whom he shared content on his networks. There were also rumours of a romance with the actress and singer Mayra Goñi, although neither of the two confirmed it officially.

He travels frequently around Latin America —Colombia, Mexico, Argentina— both for work and for pleasure, which is reflected in his streams and his Instagram posts. He works with Basher Agency, a company that manages the relationship between streamers, brands and large-scale events.

His personal motto, “Perseverance pays off”, which appears on his Linktree, says quite a lot about how he sees himself: someone who came from the bottom, with a camera, an internet connection and the will not to stop.

Arturo Fernández Neutro today (2026)

So far in 2026, Neutro is still active on Kick and generates constant conversation on Peruvian social media, although not always for the reasons he would choose.

In January 2026, he was at the centre of a new controversy when, during a live broadcast, he published a fake ad on Facebook Marketplace offering tickets for BTS concerts in exchange for sexual favours. The fan community reacted with outrage, especially because part of the BTS audience in Peru includes minors. The controversy was widely covered by Infobae Perú.

In March 2026, his name appeared in the headlines again when he commented on a broadcast about the sexual assault complaint involving the streamer Piero Arenas. Arenas replied publicly, which led to a viral clash between the two creators.

What is clear, looking at his path, is that Neutro is not a passing phenomenon. He has a solid follower base, a content format that works on the right platform and the ability to stay in the public debate —although that sometimes costs him dearly in terms of image.

At 21, he is still building his career. The question many ask in the Peruvian streaming ecosystem is whether he will channel that energy towards something more sustainable or whether he will keep betting on the edge. For now, he is still online.

Conclusion

Arturo Fernández Neutro is, plainly, one of the most representative streamers of what is happening in the Peruvian digital ecosystem in 2026. Not because he is the most technical or the most produced, but because he represents something real: a young man from Lima who started with what he had, found his format and built an audience that follows him with a loyalty that is hard to manufacture.

In my experience covering Latin American content creators, what sets apart those who last from those who disappear is not avoiding controversy —it is knowing whether that controversy builds or destroys. Neutro is still at that unstable point of balance. The scandals of 2025 and 2026 have given him massive visibility, but they have also caught the attention of the media, sports federations and the authorities.

If you are interested in following Peruvian streaming beyond Neutro, we also recommend looking at the biography of Diealis, one of his frequent collaborators, and that of Piero Arenas, another key figure of the ecosystem.
