Social media star and rap artist Nik Keswani – known to millions of online followers as BigNik – has smashed stereotypes with style. The Vine phenomenon racked up three million followers on the video hosting service and now has over 1.04 million followers on YouTube. His unique brand of comedy has entertained millions, and he has also inspired millions through his social media accounts, helping others to battle bullies and handle criticism with ease.

Born in Boca Raton, Florida, BigNik was born with a rare form of dwarfism that left the online star blind in one eye. He began recording Vines after he had leg surgery and was in a wheelchair, and his clip of himself cursing to a tune went viral across all social media platforms as millions of others found the short video hilarious too.

His original content soon made him one of the biggest stars of the internet. His vines often featured his fellow viners Jake Paul and Brent Rivera, and he has often appeared in David Dobrik’s vlogs. BigNik has also established himself as a rap artist, recording successful tracks including ‘Label Me ft. Scotty Sire’ which has amassed over 814k views on YouTube.

BigNik now plans to break into the world of acting, and with his “never say die” attitude we can expect to see the inspirational star on the big screen soon.
