While I wouldn’t claim to have achieved success yet, as I believe I’m on a journey towards the ambitious goals I’ve set for myself, I can attribute my progress to a few key factors.

One of the most important factors behind the success of my business and brand are the people who I’ve surrounded myself with.

As a social media influencer, it is safer to let expectations about topic choices, product endorsements, and community drive your content. We made difficult choices to change our content, community, and product endorsements to follow our passion and love instead of conforming to what worked and felt safe. We chose our love for music over our fears and kept making music videos, using our own music in our other content and creating jingles for product endorsements. Even though our livestream music shows do not earn monetization income, we chose our love for music and the friends who join our livestreams over the fear of loss. Read more>>
