Karima underscore Tatiana. Yeah. I saw you in a video somewhere but we'll talk about that later. So please introduce yourself. I'm Tony Sunday. I do TikTok videos. I wouldn't say I'm a, you know, if I say are you a TikToker. No, I'm not a TikToker. I just do TikTok videos. And you can find me on Tony's channel on TikTok and Tony's channel on Instagram and Facebook. On my personal life, I do advertising, outdoor advertising on the small scale. And apart from that, I love Y254. Eh. Yeah. We'll talk about food time. Yeah. We're not that tired of this. Okay. By TikTok videos, do you mean that Jason Derulo is doing? Okay. I'm a hapo too. I'm a hapo too. I don't, I don't really do much of the... I'm known for balloon videos on TikTok in Kenya. So yeah, it's hashtag balloonpapa on TikTok. So Tony's Kenya is the guy who pops balloons. So if you ask anyone, have you seen the guy who pops balloons? Yeah. It's Tony's Kenya. That's me. I'm going to have so much fun asking questions. But, but let's just get a little bit there and then get back to you, Shari. First of all, you have featured in a video that is quite recent. And I really like that song. Just by the way. Just by the way. Yes. Yeah. So how is that? How is that working with the industry, the music industry as a fix? And do you get backlash? Do you... What kind of... I want to ask what kind of feedback you get. But it's not really feedback. Do you get support? Do you get backlash? What's happening there? I'm so far because being a tough... Since I started... My journey started in 2016, yeah? That's when I did my first video. So since then I've done a couple. It's been tough. But so far, I have support from my family and my friends. And that's what matters. At first, my mom was a bit... You know, she's... Concerned. Yeah. She's religious. She's concerned. So by the time I was like... Just dressed like that in the videos. I don't go walking around like that. Some things are just in front of the camera. So yeah. She's like, okay, you're a big girl. You know what you're doing. As long as you don't embarrass me, she's fine. Okay, you sound so sweet. I have a video and a performance. I don't know if it's okay, but it's what I should do. I don't think we can play the song. But you sound so sweet in the performance. Thank you. How do you balance being a creative on the side and then sales and marketing? Do they compliment each other or are you two different people? Like, do you have a job, sales and marketing or something? Not that different. Because you know when you come to marketing and sales, you have to talk to people. You have to... That's where... I think that's where I really got my confidence from. Oh! Yeah, from marketing and sales because they're equal to talk to people, different kinds of people, different characters, personalities. So that's where I got my confidence to do modeling because you know if I have... I can talk to different people, different personalities. I can be in front of a camera. Like, you know, just be me. This once I did a feature. It was behind the scenes for a particular video. So we went to, okay, I will be vague with the details because it's a long time ago. And by long I mean 2021. So I won't say 2019 of sorts. And I had the opportunity to see behind the scenes of a particular video being shot. It was part of my four-upper-quad route job. And we were trying to interact with the model on the job but she could not speak for days. I was trying. Like, mommy, please just talk to us. Tell us how you're feeling. Like, what's going on here? What's your experience? What do you do when you're not doing this? And she was just giving me plans. Like, I'm tired. So I thought in my head, like, that's it for all victims. It's just look. But come there and she double look at you. So, you know, affluent and you're talking and it's communication going on. So when did you get that? Or it's still linked to the sales and marketing job? Now, personally, I'm not, I think I'm very talkative if I know you. But rather that you have to, like we have to say it, you have to indulge me into a conversation. But apart from that, I really love dancing. So I think most of the confidence, too, comes from dancing. So when I dance... You're in luck for the bad DJ. And by bad, I mean mad. And by mad, I mean really good. But not really, I will rebuke you. But that's the topic for another day. Let me come back to you kind, sir. Tell me about all this balloon popping. Actually, the idea came in when I first did it. And that is when now the pandemic came in and now we had to stay at home. The bees went down, so thinking, what can I do? Then you see guys doing videos and then you think, what can I do outside the box? You know, on TikTok right now, like everybody can dance. I can't dance. She can dance. Oh, yeah. Then you see others, people making makeup videos. So I'm like, what can I do that can really make me pop out? Then I... Okay, it was my birthday. March, actually, 29th. No, by then. Not today. So it was your 3rd birthday. Yeah, it was my birthday in March. So the balloons come about and I make a small video with balloons and from there, I start to develop more. So I get attached to balloons so I start making balloon videos and we don't get to the other. I tend to get a lot of nice feedback. I get a lot of views and views go on and go on. So I tend to become more creative with the balloons. So I started just popping balloons, blowing air in them and doing something and popping, making the sound and just getting a reaction from people. Then later I started to make lyrics to songs on the balloons. Yeah? No, I don't sing. I make lyrics on trending songs. Yeah, the trending songs that are catchy. So I would write the lyrics on a tape and paste them on the balloons and fill the balloons with water and pop them. As a song sings, you sing the lyrics and you pop the balloons and the water splashes and it's satisfying. Mostly because it's colourful. I really like colourful. Yeah, it's colourful. How did you get that idea? Somebody, I saw it from also someone I think is from the UK. He does it. Actually I think on the whole of Tik Tok, I've only seen like three people doing the same thing. So yeah, I would say I'm the third one. But still doing well. Look at your unique. Yes. So I think that one is what I tended to like more about it because you get a lot of good feedback. Though there's still people who will be like you're wasting water. This is Kenya, there's no water. I'll be like, come on. I want to laugh but it's serious. They want to laugh. But when you're using the dye, it's not a must that you use tap water or anything. You can recycle water and stuff. Ah, that's smart. Yeah, true. Environmental friendly, entertaining, very satisfying. I want to ask you. I still try to dance too. Don't make me make you dance. She will teach us. We are so messy. Ah, don't be modest. This is not the place to be modest. I'm going to do everything to the utmost. Now I'm going to ask you both a very specific question and I'll start because I'd like being honest. So, I have a cyber bully today and the cyber bully has the name of a Shanice Kerry. And the joke is on you, sure. Because it's true, like in real life I have a cyber bully and sometimes it gets me in a little bit of trouble but mostly it works for me. So, do you have people who come up and tell you are you content and all that? Or they just, you know, they be like 10,000 likes, then 12 dislikes. So, do you get some type of reactions like that and how do you deal with it? Yeah, sometimes, you know, there are people who are like, oh, I don't like how, for example, if I appeared on a video somebody is going to be like, I don't like the model, she doesn't coordinate well with this song. Yeah, I don't get some of that but I mean, I'm just doing what I love but nobody can tell me I'm not doing whatever I'm doing right because I believe I'm doing it the right way and I'm enjoying myself. The best thing is that I'm enjoying myself. Yeah. How did you handle it the first time someone this random day? I'm asking only because it has personally taken me a long time to find my path, to find what I love to do and just stick with it and go. So, being sure of myself came from different people. So, the first time I had backlash or cyberbullies, oh my gosh, we still appreciate you. Hashtag a social party. Yeah, it was not really shocking but I was like, okay, why are you all up in the business I'm just trying to mine my own so why are you here but eventually I came to realize that when you're in the public eye, definitely someone is going to have an opinion whether they know you or not, whether they've met you or not, whether they actually understand what you're doing or that you love what you're doing or not they're still going to have something to say. So, how was the first reaction and I'm only asking because people out there maybe who want to be like you they want to be in front of the camera, they want to be on videos, they want to look good, they want to dress well but they're kind of afraid of how people look at them or what they'll say. So, how did you handle that? For me, they really don't know me, they just see me so I don't think they have they have no idea what I've been through and why I'm doing what I'm doing so I was just like, I don't care they don't know me so for me it was just like I just ignored everything and as long as I'm enjoying myself I'm doing the best that I can I'll just ignore them and I will always judge you but if somebody hasn't worked on my linear show, what do they know? Nothing. Thank you so sweet. I want to ask you the same question but with a curve we were talking about body shaming on Tuesday evening on a differential completely and the funny thing is I always imagined that body shaming was a thing for girls you know oh you're too small oh you're too big in the wrong places oh you're too small in the wrong places it's just exhausting oh you're not tall enough oh you're not dark enough oh your eyes not big enough oh your hair so many expectations like you can't just wake up and feel good without somebody making noise but it turns out that it's a guy thing too like oh who's there who's there he's not worried, he's okay he doesn't want to have a baby face or why? he doesn't want to have a baby face like what in the world if you like skin, when you do I just ask what are all these so these things that you face when you're doing what you do you're not even exposing yourself in the sort of way that maybe modeling or music videos or other genres you know ask for but you are just being yourself but still people will have something to say so have you ever experienced that yeah it's social media and as long as you put yourself out there there will always be somebody behind your back yeah I've faced some some people will be like oh your hair is too shabby and I can use it I'm just being me you know you don't know where I am where I live or anything but you still have to say something negative but how I deal with it is okay sometimes you just actually when I read the comments I laugh I laugh out loud I just laugh at them it's a lolling actually it's also when you laugh at it you don't even think about it it's just funny that way I'm like ah maybe he's just talking he's just saying to me he's in that series because until now I haven't really faced something that is say too serious to like me feeling low or like feeling bad about myself no can't it has never and I can't allow myself to feel like that and if I feel like maybe sometimes maybe somebody's going overboard you know just block them and that is if you have all the time to go through the comments because sometimes you can post a video and find like you have like say 500 comments who will read all those comments sometimes because you also want to do other stuff but like say for me making a balloon video it will take me like at least 6 to 10 minutes because you know you have to fill them do all these do all that that's my precious time so I'd rather do that rather than go all through these and as much as there's that there's also you know you also have your your following right so they'll be behind your back and they'll hit on those negative comments like really going to be like wow all these people are on my back yeah it's such a good feeling you're like yeah and you take time to check their profile and be like how if I meet this person and be like yeah this is a good thing when you post your videos or when you post your content are you or is it a must just because it's social media are you forever on your phone like you posted 5 seconds later how many people have viewed wow why and they're not viewing something wrong with my phone is it pressure initially yeah I have that pressure and even when I started I used to even actually have the worst internet old post it will take like forever to learn 70, 71, 72% they're like very lurid 100% you know and then now it's 100 posted you're like okay now what next what next you know I used to have that anticipation much but then something good happened I was very if I don't take to cause like you know like somebody out there has noticed that you're doing something good and why let us give you this blue take you know blue take baby so so with all that you start to get the positive reaction so you don't really you don't really focus on the on the video itself post it and just leave the phone there go do your stuff read work come back later oh you're always all of you people okay okay I like that I want to ask you is it do you feel pressure to out do yourself for every gig that you do this is focusing maybe on your modeling career when you're in front of the camera do you feel like you have pressure to out do yourself they can be just a few minutes ago you did it this way and then maybe maybe I should have done it this way maybe I should have done this maybe I should have done this okay I'll correct it and then come another video and then you know you up your game but you still I need to do this I need to add on this does that happen to you I love dancing and I love being in front of a camera so it just come naturally to me so I never have any pressures for every work that I do for every work that I do I just look and I'm like wow I did my best because when I'm like in a video as long as I listen to the song I know how I'm gonna act how it's gonna flow so just go with the flow so I've never had any pressure I just believe that whatever video all the videos I've done I've done to my best that's very there's some attitudes you should adopt guys you see now she doesn't do sleep she sleeps well she wakes up okay whether you like it or not she is fine okay do you remember how to get to us it's at white by phone facebook, white by 4 channel on twitter hashtag it's social Friday and I told you and I can promise you full real legit we are the latest professional in town but I told you don't trust me just keep watching Monday all the way through Friday 7 all the way through 10 in the a.m what would you tell someone who wants to do what you're doing but I feel like there's an age where some things would affect someone a little bit more let's say if you're in your teen years puberty is hard let's just say adolescence is very hard there's a lot just biologically but if there was someone who was going through all that but still wanted to do what you do would you encourage them to do so or would you tell them to just wait it out first to grow a bit because this industry is not easy again and there are people who will take advantage of you number one because you look so good number two as I say you're kind and you're very open so that people will definitely want to take advantage of you and if you didn't have support if you didn't have the support of maybe your family or your friends there's someone who probably would pretend to support you but for many years ago so how would you approach that I would advise anyone who wants to do modeling and video fixing to be very open minded as much as you're gonna be kind and don't let anybody take you for a fall know what you want and be very principled yeah and by principle do you mean like I should have goals or I should tell myself okay there's because of many teachers and you know I'm just gonna say because it happens it's out there you're going so far as to impregnate small small girls in school 10 year old has twins so I am going to say it very openly so is that what you mean by principle now when I say principled I mean like the industry is so huge and there's so many people so many beautiful girls in the industry so when you're principled you don't when it comes to like the modeling you don't play around you know you believe you can do it better and so nobody can come and tell you this and this for me I believe if you do everything with your with all your heart and the best somebody is gonna like yeah I like what she does so you don't have to be easy and be like to get things because free things come easy and go easy but if you're very hard for it and you believe you do the best have you ever felt intimidated by other models when you go maybe for auditions or for a gig no no we should be friends like your confidence is so intact like it yes okay tell me your favorite tiktoker right now and it's not you I don't really have a favorite I just like you know tiktoker has a lot a lot of stuff and what I would say is that lately I tend to find myself liking a lot of baby videos you know cute baby videos or something videos of having kids doing stuff but I really don't have a favorite I wouldn't say there's somebody a compact on their profile like Monday to Monday what I would say since you know like if you'd want to better yourself you'd find yourself trying to you know so I really don't have a favorite tiktoker why tiktok? why not Instagram, why not Facebook why not Twitter, why not to do all these others but I will not mention because I think they stand on murky grounds but why not why tiktok? I would ask myself the same question why tiktok but I would say I gained a fast track on tiktok like first let me say 10 videos I had almost like 30,000 followers and this 30,000 it's not like it's just say regional like Kenya only it's worldwide you know you get 30% from the US 10% from the UK, from South Africa you know it's really spread and I think I tend to like that most and I find it more interactive definitely all the other social media still the best I think it's just working for me because you'd find others Facebook is the theme Instagram is the same thing but for me it's just tiktok and then the growth rate was for me it was so fast so that's why I'm still stuck to that I have spent a lot of hours on tiktok I didn't call it dangerous I almost removed it from my phone you know the way you start scrolling it's in me okay you know what let's do this because tiktok means to call break and give rage is something to do because I think we need to just get into new your source
