Where are you from and what was life like growing up?
I’m from just outside Chicago, Illionis! I love the area and the city is beautiful so no complaints growing up!
What inspired you to start making videos?
I have an undying passion for screenplay writing and I thought “Hey, this is a good way to get my jokes heard!”
When did you start uploading to Tik Tok?
I started uploading in September of 2020.
What was your first most popular video?
My first most popular video was not funny AT ALL. It was just like a meme that was going around at the time and I took a trash can to a local restaurant like I was “taking out the trash”. Haha. Get it.
How did you stay consistent with content and what keeps you motivated?
Fans! And comments. Everyone that has treated me positively keeps me going and wants me to keep consistency.
Did you ever come across any creative blocks?
Yes. All the time. It’s part of the process, but having fun and making people happy is all that matters.
Who are some of your favorite music artists?
Blackbear, Kanye West, Eden
What type of support do you get from friends/family?
TONS. They help me with everything. Very grateful for everything they do to help keep me sane.
If you could work with one person who would it be and why?
Bo Burnham. Bo has been my idol for as long as I can remember. His new special Inside was amazing.
What type of goals do you have as a content creator and do you have any
other projects lined up? I’ve got some stuff on the way… Can’t say much. Stay tuned. And thanks for the interview 🙂
