00:00I saw a bunch of followers come in, and it was more followers than I'd ever had in my life
00:04after working 10 years on trying to get Facebook followers or something.
00:09They just came in really fast on TikTok, and it was like, I don't even quite know what this is
00:14yet, and who knows if they're ever going to respond to my stuff.
00:18It just felt like this is real. These are people choosing to click a follow button, so that's got to
00:24be something. It's got to turn into something good at some point.
00:30It felt real right away. It felt the most real when we started doing shows, and people would buy tickets
00:35to show up.
00:36That was like, oh, this is not just members on a screen. This is faces.
00:40I think people just like, and whether it's kind of goofy but serious or whatever that I do, or if
00:50you don't say much, if you're quiet, if you're unbelievably boisterous and loud, you just got to be yourself.
00:57There's a niche for every personality type, every music type, but you have to be true to, I guess, what
01:05you naturally are, because they can read that authenticity.
01:08I've tried things that are not authentic, and not one has ever done well, whether it's a song or a
01:15video, which is in a world of social media.
01:19It is refreshing that authenticity is still the reason why a lot of stuff, in my opinion, kind of works
01:25or goes viral.
01:26It's like the number one driving factor.
