Asporaat was born in Willemstad, Curaçao in the former Netherlands Antilles where he grew up in the Buena Vista neighborhood together with his mother, three brothers and sister. His father lived elsewhere on the island with a different woman and paid no alimony. In 1992 he relocated to the Netherlands with his family, moving to Rotterdam, South Holland at age 11, where they settled in the IJsselmonde neighborhood on the city's south side, while his oldest brother remained on Curaçao. After completing his studies, Asporaat plied his trade as a painter before focusing on a career in stand-up comedy.

He also made a few television appearances, such as The Comedy Factory in 2007, in films such as Deuce Bigalow and Staatsgevaarlijk and in television commercials.
Outside of his carer as a stand-up comedian, Asporaat is also a songwriter and journalist. As a writer he has had his work published in de Volkskrant and the NTR program 'Raymann is Laat'. On 1 November 2014, Asporaat opened his own clothing store in downtown Delft, South Holland. On 10 December 2015 he released his first self-produced full-length film "Bon Bini Holland" for which he won the "Golden film" award at the Dutch Golden and Platin Film awards ceremony. In July 2016, he played the voice of Snowball for the Dutch version of "The Secret Life of Pets".
In May 2007, Asporaat made an appearance in the television show De Lama's on BNN.
