Twitch streamer Edwin Castro, who has more than 3.5 million followers on the Amazon-owned live streaming service, has signed with Creative Arts Agency.

CAA will represent Castro in all areas of media, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In the past, the 30-year-old Chicagoan has worked with brands including Turtle Beach, 7-Eleven, Gillette, and Electronic Arts.

Castro averages 30,000 concurrent live viewers on Twitch, where he primarily streams himself playing EA Sports’ “FIFA” video game.

His 3.5 million followers rank 56th among Twitch streamers, and he’s garnered 136 million total views.

In addition to his Twitch following, Castro, who plays as Castro_1021, boasts 1.98 million YouTube subscribers and 1.3 million Twitter followers.

Castro also plays for charity: In 2015, he raised more than $80,000 with a 50-hour stream to benefit Macmillan Cancer Support.
