Hi, Lightskinmonte & Welcome To Medium!
When did you start Tik Tok?
I started TikTok December 30, 2019.
What is your secret to being confident?
My secret to being confident is loving myself as a human being truly believing my goals and accomplishing them. Also my supporters keep me pushing to put out great content and creativity for them and the entire media.
How do you come up with new content?
I come up with content ideas by just think of ideas that I haven’t seen people do before. Most of the time it just comes out of know where or something random would be in my brain.
What keeps you energized?
What keeps me energized is basically my personality. I’m always energized no matter what. I like giving positive energy to my viewers.
How many tik toks do you make a day?
I post 3–5 TikToks Per day. Sometimes I’ll try to make 10 At Some points.
What video went viral? What was it about?
My first video that went viral was a skit where I was sneak talking back to my mom back and uploaded it in summer July 2018. it first went viral on Facebook while I was on a cruise ship in August 2018. Then that video just pushed me, even more, to do more videos for people to enjoy and laugh. I then started a Michael Jackson character and used him in lots of my content and that character did viral as well. I then did other videos with just myself (no character) and went viral as well. Then I came out with my next character Captain Crack and it did even more numbers then anything else. Then a few months later I came out with The “Hood Dude” and that’s what blew my social media career even higher.
How do you keep your audience coming back for more?
How I kept my audience coming back for content was just to keep being consistent and being myself and just put content out for people’s laughter and to enjoy. I like being creative so I think of things I never see people do.
What are your plans for the future?
What I plan to do in the future is to be a very famous movie actor /tv actor. It’s been my dream since I was 7 years old to do acting. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is the reason why I wanted to become an actor because they both Were hilarious in there tv sitcoms and the show Martin is what gave me ideas on my content to make different characters because in the show Martin had different characters as well.
We are so grateful to learn more about this comedic force of nature. We can’t wait to see him in films following the footsteps of the greats like Will Smith & Martin Lawrence. Hollywood has a star with his name on it.
