== Biography ==

=== Early Years ===
After the parents of Knol divorced, he and his brother Milan Knol took their mother's surname, Knol. Together with their mother and stepfather, they lived in The Hague for some time. As a teenager, he also spent time living with his father in Assen. At the age of 18, Knol ceased contact with his father after one final visit. When Knol was 17 years old, he spent about a hundred days in a closed institution due to problems with aggression and drug use.

=== Career ===
His older brother, Milan Knol, had been making videos on the internet for some time, which inspired Enzo to start creating his own videos. On June 9, 2013, Enzo Knol posted his first YouTube video, which had been recorded the day before to celebrate his birthday. He gained significant popularity after publishing a video in February 2014 where a bike stunt went wrong, causing him to fall and break his arm. His popularity and the number of subscribers on his YouTube channel grew rapidly, exceeding 400,000 subscribers by the fall of 2014.

Knol uploads a video daily. On his first channel, EnzoKnol, he posts a new vlog every day at 4:00 PM, featuring various moments from his daily life. These videos are often humorous, but sometimes he also addresses more serious topics such as bullying or divorced parents. In some cases, there is subtle advertising. In April 2018, Knol separated his gaming and vlog content by distributing them across two different YouTube channels. The second channel, EnzoKnol2, is dedicated to Knol's gaming videos, such as those about Fortnite and Minecraft. On October 1, 2021, Knol also launched his new third channel, EnzoKnol Shorts, where short, funny clips from his thousands of videos are posted.

=== Merchandise ===
On October 23, 2015, Knol presented his book 'Knolpower!', in which he provided an overview of his vlogging career, interviews with fans and family members, and a vlogging course. Knol also has his own clothing line named Knolpower, which he sells through his webshop. Since 2022, the Knolpower weekend has been organized, taking place in April at Attractiepark Drouwenerzand. Knol is present in the park for two days to answer questions from fans. There are also meet-and-greets with him that are raffled off.

=== Personal Life ===
Knol used to make many of his vlogs with his then-girlfriend Dee van der Zeeuw, whom he met through social media. She appeared in most of his vlogs from 2013 to 2018. On June 25, 2018, they decided to end their relationship definitively. Since November 2019, Myron Koops has been featured daily in Knol's vlogs. On November 18, 2020, they officially announced their relationship.

In 2014, Knol moved to live on his own in Hilversum. In March 2016, he bought an apartment in Zeist. In early January 2021, he announced that he had purchased a villa in Soesterberg, coincidentally on the same street as his brother Milan's house. In 2021, he also bought two apartments at Lake Garda in Italy, which he rents out as vacation homes.

=== Controversies ===
In 2023, Knol and his girlfriend Myron Koops were pulled over by the police after their Porsche Panamera exceeded speeds of more than 160 km/h. Knol filmed the incident and posted it on YouTube, which led to criticism from both his followers and the police and traffic organizations. Knol later publicly apologized for his behavior during the incident.
