Kaz Sawyer & Jaylyn Handley Expose The Influencer Industry

dude honestly i did that before oh yeah and then i took the path so all the credit that i have today goes to one of my best friends so his name was uh chris shamboyati um he actually went by chris pearson creatures ferris on mtv he's not here anymore he actually was murdered in uh 2021 But yeah, he was.

And, uh, he, in 2018, after I finished school, he ended up always coming into my room.

Always every day, every day, I was reading a book every day.

I'd be reading a book.

He would immediately come in, stop and stop in, take the book from me and say, Hey, let's go and make some like videos.

Let's make videos.

And I had no interest in making any videos.

He ended up saying, dude, you're going to do so good.

We ended up getting me on this app called Firework, in which I met a bunch of other content creators.

And then I ended up meeting people.

I got on Musical.ly. And this was before TikTok.

And then the Musical.ly TikTok merge happened, which he got me into.

And I met great creators like Kid Arell, Devon.

And then ended up being there, meeting the CEO of Musically and being the first 100 people that were actually launched on TikTok when it was the whole merge.

And if it wasn't for my friend being like there, I wouldn't have got on the platform.

So and then I leveraged it to my career because I saw it, man.

I immediately saw it.

I had a video.

It blew up to a hundred K views.

Like you already know, like you immediately musically in TikTok, every creator, when they hopped on it, they were getting millions and millions of views.

And then I saw the future of like, okay, this is going to leverage everything in business.

This is going to leverage all my music.

It's going to leverage all my businesses.

And I got to stay focused on this.

And that's like how I saw it.
