1.) What is the one thing you love about your community?

Honestly? Everything. I wouldn’t be where I am without them, but, if I had to pick just one thing it would be how absolutely kind they are. Kindness goes a long way and they have it in abundance and are willing to spread it wherever they go.

2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming?

I’d always wanted to stream, but I definitely let my own anxiety hold me back, and then about March of 2023, a few of my friends and I all talked about streaming and so I took the plunge and haven’t looked back since. And gaming, I remember it like it was yesterday, it was 24 November 2004, when I got a copy of World of Warcraft. I dabbled in gaming on and off before that but that was definitely the turning point of my love of gaming and my absolute addiction to mount farming and PvP content.

3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?

 Oh, this one is hard!

 I would say that the best video game I’ve ever played was Borderlands 2. I fell in love with Borderlands, but I just felt like the second one elevated the game. I loved the story, the game play and the overall vibe.
 The worst game, and I know this is going to be unpopular, was Overwatch. Listen, listen, I was downloading it and my PSU blew up, which was the first strike against it, then I played it, and I just, it wasn’t for me, I couldn’t get into it and I found it so boring.

4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?

 I would love to do more collabs with streamers in Dead By Daylight and international streamers. I’ve been very blessed to have some collabs already which were amazing and I definitely would love to do more. If I had to pick someone specific to collab with, I’d 100% love to collab with BBNO$, I just think he’d be such a vibe and it would just be so much fun.

5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you?

 My friends inspired me, and continue to inspire me. I love seeing them hit their goals, grow within their streaming space and being able to celebrate them and what they achieve. Surrounding myself with people who help celebrate me and push me, is something I’ve been blessed with.

6.) What is something you want people to know about you?

Something I don’t really touch on and that people should know is that I have lost about 70% hearing in my right ear. I struggle to talk about it and bring light to the fact that sometimes, when lots of noise is going on in stream and in game, I truly struggle to focus and hear. I was told from a young age to not talk about it or bring light to it to not have people think I’m using it as a crutch and that has been something that I still can’t kick.

7.) We have gone 5 years into the future, what does your content look like?

My content would be across platforms, I’d be posting to YouTube shorts and TikTok (if we haven’t gotten new platforms), I’d be fostering a bigger community which is still the safe and welcoming space that it is now. I’d also love to grow my social media more to be able to partner with brands such as Behaviour. In all honesty, as a final goal, to hit Partner would be the cherry on top in the next 5 years.

8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?

 Be yourself, truly, you shine when you are being yourself. No one does it better and no one ever will do it better.

 Stream advice would be to turn follower-only chat off. Also, you are absolutely allowed to ban anyone from your space who makes you uncomfortable, this is your space where you want to be comfortable and to have fun, do not allow people to treat you poorly just for a view, it won’t make you feel better about hitting ‘go live’ and it can also foster a space you just do not want to be in.

9.) You get to go on a vacation anywhere. Where do you go and what’s the first thing you eat/drink?

 I’m going to New Zealand, I’m headed straight to Hobbiton and I’m eating like a hobbit for the day, elevenses come at me!
