In our Talent Profiles series, we shine a light on some of the most talented names that MN2S has worked with. This week, we’re spotlighting four content creators and influencers that have taken over TikTok.
Mitchell Crawford
Mitchell Crawford, a rising star on the video-sharing app TikTok with over 4 million fans and 78 million likes for his material, is a young comedian and influencer. Through posting brief skits on the website in which he plays all the characters, he has amassed a loyal and broad folloowing. He also publishes his stuff on other websites, such as Instagram, where he currently has over 130,000 followers and counting.
Crawford, who was born on August 18, 2000, and was raised between Los Angeles and Atlanta, Georgia, is a true kid of the twenty-first century. He is one of a new breed of comedians who can use cutting-edge platforms to engage an audience that is equally tech-savvy because he grew up with mobile technology. TikTok gave him an ideal outlet for his talents by enabling him to submit quick films that he had shot and produced on his phone and that he could then immediately share with his followers. Since joining the platform in 2019, he has posted frequently, and in that short period of time, he has witnessed cartoon after sketch go viral, garnering millions of views and likes.
Kirsten Collins
In recent years, Canadian singer-songwriter, actor, YouTube sensation, and social media presence Kirsten Collins has emerged as one of Canada’s most promising vocalists. She started singing on pitch before she turned two years old. She is an Alberta native. She gave her first solo performance almost three years later. She wrote her first song when she was six years old. Collins entered beauty pageants as she started her path to fame. She competed in the Miss Teen Canada – World pageant and won the Calgary Junior Idol when she was 10 years old. She also won the Miss Teen Calgary – World in 2012. Christian, her younger brother, was the first to become well-known on social media. Later, Kirsten and her two other siblings decided to emulate him.
