My name is Bryan AKA MindofBun,
I’m on the app Musical.ly and I have a following of
over 600,000 people. Not only that but I’m one of
four Musical.ly reps that live in New York City. So my question is
I don’t know what to do next. I feel like I’m
stuck in a plateau. I don’t know what to do next. I love making these videos,
not only on Musical.ly but I’m also pushing
everybody to YouTube, too. I ask this question because
I have friends who have less followers than me who have
managers and people who I know that have millions of fans who
don’t even have managers or they don’t even know what to do. So, what should I do
next with this following? Do I go out there and look
for companies or brand deals or should I link up with the
manager or what should I do? I put my business email out
there and I’m not always getting emails every day or something. I am patient, I do wait but
lately I just trying to figure out a way to get a source of
income from this because, again, I do love doing this, I love
doing this but at the end of the day I still have my mom
harassing me saying A, are you gonna get
a job or this and that? And yeah, so Gary
what should I do? – Jason, it’s fun to have
you here with this question. Good job by you guys curating
because again we lived through early bloggers getting famous–
– Sure. – then Twitter was really
the first preview to this– – Sure. – where both of us were lucky
enough to be one of those 100, 150 people that
everybody was following. – Sure. – What kind of advice do you
give to, I’m paying a lot of attention to the
Musical.ly stars. – Sure.
– This is the youngest generation of stars
we’ve ever seen. You’re making a joke of
VaynerMedia being young,– – I know. – We’re talking about 9,
10, 11, 12-year-old stars. – Yeah. – Like it’s, it’s Nickelodeon
up in Musical.ly right out. What’s your advice for this? – Well, I mean what
is the goal here? Does the person want to be, do they actually
have any raw talent? Are they actually a musician? Are they actually a singer or
are they just kind of becoming popular for doing– – Do you think that’s possibly
becoming just talent in itself? – That’s a good question. – Like you said that and
I’m debating it myself. – Right. Do you
actually have a skill? So what I think is adding skills to your repertoire like
that can only help you. So if learn an instrument,
if you actually learn to sing then you can kind of
take it to the next level. So when you saw Justin Bieber
on YouTube it was like, “Yeah, he’s a YouTube star but
he actually had core talent.” – No, he was a real talent.
– He was a real talent. Then you look at
somebody like King Bach. – Yes.
– On Vine,– – Yes. – he was the number
one guy for a while. Probably still is.
He actually is funny. – He’s a real comedian.
– He’s a real comedian. – Actor.
– Actor. – Yes.
– He’s a comedic actor. – Yes. – So I think adding skills when
you’re a young person is one thing that this
generation got backwards. – That’s a good point. – They go get the
fame and it’s great. You can hit that lightning in
a bottle but get that skill you can, it can never be
taken away from you. – Yeah, I think networking. I think just even asking this question like, for example,
I’m interested. I’m spending more time in
Musical.ly so let’s get this kid into my office, I want to
meet him for 20 minutes. And you just need to do
that over and over, right? – Yeah. – How many people have been able
to get to you and met for 15 or 30 minutes just by pounding you on social and email
through the last decade? Give me a rough estimate of
numbers because I know– – Over a thousand.
– That’s it. – Over a thousand,
it takes time. – You, right and some people
they email you one time and you gave them 15 minutes and some
people have emailed you 37,000 times and you’ve
never talked to them. – Exactly.
– That’s the punchline. – I look at the quality like I look for people with
skill but that’s me. – But you know this, it’s a
subjective moment in time. – Sure. – Like at that moment
it felt like, right? – Yeah.
– I mean it’s a crap shoot. – Yeah but you know what? It’s a numbers game, if you,
one of the things is I had, I have a portfolio company that
raised money from seven people and they’re like we can’t raise any more money,
it’s not working. I’m like well, how’d
you get the first seven? They’re like well, we
met with a ton of people. I said how many
people did you meet? They said 15. I was like so you can raise
money from 50% of the people you meet with and now you met with
another five, you didn’t get an investor so you’re quitting?
– Soft. – So soft.
– Soft! – You got to do at least 50
meetings and what you do is you take notes after every meeting
and you ask people candidly why did you pass on investing? The way you can help me,
I understand you’re passing, can you just tell me the truth? – Interesting. – Be candid with me
and tell me why I suck. – I love that.
– Or tell me what I need to work on.
You know what? People will do it if you give
them permission to speak freely. – Love it. India,
let’s move it forward. By the way, I’m serious,
I want to meet the kid. Make it happen. – [Jason] Hey-o!
– Manu.

“part of the music industry. “For somebody who is starting out, where do I start?” – Oh man that’s a good question. I think it’s a little more easier for you, Omar, than it was for me. – 100%. There’s a thing called the fucking internet. – Yeah. The internet is key. Really for me […]

“part of the music industry. “For somebody who is
starting out, where do I start?” – Oh man that’s
a good question. I think it’s a little more
easier for you, Omar, than it was for me.
– 100%. There’s a thing called
the fucking internet. – Yeah. The internet is key. Really for me we had to sit the
Fugees literally had to sit through 7,000 A/Rs. Saying this shit
ain’t gonna work. Like rappers playing guitars
and women singing and rapping? No, no, no that’s too much. So with the internet you can
actually build your own audience. – And you were going through
that process, I’m trying to think back what that was
happening ’91, two and three before four and five?
93, 94 when it happened? – Man, it was
going like ’93, ’94. Do you know how weird it is
1993 a group shows up with an acoustic guitar and we
tell them that we hip hop. We from the ‘hood. And then you have one girl and
Clef grabs his and another kids a rocker and I start playing
guitar and Lauren starts to sing John Lennon “Imagine”
then I going to a freestyle. Can you imagine somebody
who is A&Ring that time? – They didn’t know.
– Do you know what I mean? The beautiful thing about the
internet right here is that you get to create your world. And if your music or
whatever you’re doing is really original, it’s going to find its key
audience because through the internet we’ve learned
it’s a big universe, right? You got your crowd. – I completely agree with him
and I say this all the time. The best way to sell is
for people to come to you. The fact that there are things
now like Musically and Snapchat and Instagram and all the other
platforms we know, the fact you can actually produce music,
put it on Soundcloud and actually serendipitously walk
into shit because somebody heard it or shared it and
changed your world. And that’s just incredible. People didn’t have
that opportunity. There are so many, how many Fugees,
how many this is, I’m dying to ask
you this question: How many very
talented musicians do you think did not get
discovered in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s because there was
just only some many A/R people, they maybe live in Memphis,
they maybe lived in Haiti, they lived in Belarus? In your opinion do you believe
that if you were great it would have just happened or do you
think in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s a generation that we
don’t grow up any more there were actually real big-time
talents that never got their opportunity ’cause they just
didn’t have the being in the right place at the right time? – Yeah but you know what’s
funny about what you said, right, is you see
the music of the 50s, the 40s, the 60s, the 70s was a different thing because people wasn’t worried
about show business. – Right. People was more
worried about– – The music.
– the music. – You see so this is how we
know of the Loneliest Monk. This is how we could go
back to Muddy Waters. – Mhmmm. (Wyclef singing) – It wasn’t really about,
because think about it now. Whenever we, this generation,
want inspiration as a producer and we go out, I’m in the
studio with Avicci. – Okay.
– Right. And were sitting in
winter in Stockholm. It’s dark, right? – Yep. – We’re sitting there and
we’re talking about chords and progressions. What’s the reference? We go back to freaking
Ray Charles “Georgia.” – Mhmmm. – At the end of the day, I just
think that we have to understand that the idea of the Fugees was musicality. It wasn’t like oh man we about
to do something to get put on so people know who we were.
– Right. – Man, if you listen to the
first Fugees album it’s called “Blunted on Reality”. The whole album starts out with
a poem where the Ku Klux Klan is trying to come and invade this
generation and we talk about we are not going for that.
– Allow that. – Yeah. If you trying to be in the music
business this is not the first message that you
want to put out. I think that the key to
everything whether if it’s art, whether if it’s think of like a Picasso when you
look at that piece. Or of think of Basquiat when
you look at a piece or just the Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” no
one thinking about so the idea is we have to think
1,000 years from now. Is this conversation
going to be relevant? And I really think that’s
my key with this generation. And that’s the only thing
that I tell them. I’m like, “Yo, you’re spitting out hits. Every second.” Every second on Musically my
daughter is singing a new song. Right?
– Yep. – And the new one is
(signing in broken Japanese) and then she puts me on Musically and
she like, “Come on, Dad.” (laughter) “No Dad. You’re doing it
wrong, come back again.” – Yep. Third take. – Third take and what
I notice is like 70 songs, songs are playing and I say,
“Angelina, who’s this artists?” – She’s like, “I don’t know.” – She don’t know but
she knows the song. I think if we can push more
musicality to your point because there are a lot of bad
ass artists out there. They’re on the internet,
you know what I mean? We just got a
focus on musicality. – Don’t you think these platforms give musicality
a better chance? Because back to your point you
brought musicality and the human being that was thinking business
is like, “Who wants this black guy playing and the girl sings?” Right.
– That’s right. – That’s what stopped musicality
and now the open platforms I actually think give
musicality a real opportunity. – Yeah, sexy black guy. – Respect.
– Yeah. – Respect. Alright, India,
let’s move this. – [India] Next one’s
from Alexander.

“what could TV chefs be doing to keep their audience engaged “with the community?” – I like that. Marcus, this is a good opportunity. – Yeah. – You know, as digital evolves, TV chefs how do you evolve? This is, you’ve watched this being in the food industry. Right now I’m saying oh my god […]

“what could TV chefs be doing to
keep their audience engaged “with the community?” – I like that. Marcus, this is a
good opportunity. – Yeah. – You know, as digital evolves,
TV chefs how do you evolve? This is, you’ve watched this
being in the food industry. Right now I’m saying oh my god
I’m taking selfies every day, when did entrepreneurs
become rock stars? You probably seven
to 10 years ago looked at all of your homies. You guys used to, you had to be
sitting around, I know how you guys roll because
sommeliers do the same thing. Four o’clock in the morning,
spot of, wherever you are and you’re sitting there and you’re
saying, when the hell did we become this is what
happened a decade ago? – So I think it’s progression
that came from two or three different ways. Right?
– Right. – First of Julian
Jacques, Papan. – 100%. Those two set the table. – But then Emril really
became a part of pop culture. – Pop culture. Absolutely. – And then Bobby really
took it there, right? I don’t think the word
TV chef, gonna leave. It’s really about media. Whatever you watch it on that’s
essentially what’s going to matter, right? So the screen for us was also
about figuring out sometimes we do long form, sometimes
we do 50 second video. – Sure. – I’m sure in five years a 50
second video is going to be 5 seconds. – Or I’ll be honest with
you, what were producing. We’re going 20, 30 minutes. I’m basically producing a
reality show, a documentary on two to three time a week basis. Good content is good content. – Peoples got to find content. – Does it come natural to you? I feel like when I look at
you from afar you’re such an operator, you’re
such a chef operator. You’re running businesses how
about the media side of things has it come natural or has that
been that something you know it’s important but it
doesn’t come that natural? – I’ll tell you it’s a
couple things for me. Being an adopted kid to Sweden
we were constantly stared at. Not necessarily in a bad way but
we we’re always in the center. – Right. – I look at it
almost the same thing. It’s like okay. You have something to
say, don’t cry about it. You want people to come to space
and make it sticky you got to communicate that. And you got to communicate
that hard if you’re gonna cut the clutter.
– Yes. – This is a cluttered space
and we either want to have customers or don’t.
– Yes. – We want it,
we asked for this, engage. – Yes. Got it. Very good. I’ll jump in real quick. I would say new platforms always
offer the best opportunities, this is good
advice for everybody. Right now he and I’m saying this
out loud for him and his team because I want him to, he should
very much look at Musically and if he cooks behind music on
Musically he could be the DJ Khaled of Musically and
it could change his life. I’m being dead serious. – Can we pick that? Why is this? What’s going on?
– I feel. What’s going on, what’s going
on I’ll tell you what’s going on I’ll save you time. They know that you say no to a
lot of things because you’re busy and this and that nature and
them coming to you with Musically, I’m on their side. – Not okay. – I’m 100% on their side but
Marcus I’m being dead serious if you were to make a commitment
for 30 days to make three videos a day of cooking behind music on Musically I am convinced– – Done. Done. – I’m a strange character.
– Absolutely. – I’m gonna check in 17
days and blow up your spot. – Yes. – I’m gonna use this clip and
then it’s going to be fuck you Marcus as the video. So you have to understand– – Stand in line for that though. So for everybody I’m starting to
articulate this, DRock, this is going to go somewhere. I’ve been saying it but
I’ve never said it direct. Beachfront property. The first people that bought at
Malibu, the first that bought in the Hamptons, the first
people that bought in Manhattan. The first people
that bought in Dumbo. When you buy up the real estate
that becomes the market first, you get a better deal. DJ Khaled, if you
tried to execute now Snapchat it’s noisier. Ashton on Twitter it would
have changed his career. Musically, whatever else you
want to take a look at every time there’s something new or a
new way to do things for example we are crushing video
on Facebook right now. We’re committed to it, I’m
hiring more people because right now it’s important
to Facebook which means it’s getting more reach.
– Yeah. – I’m very focused on it either
new platforms that are emerging and Snapchat is still that.
Still. – Gary, I have to ask you–
– Please. – you live in many worlds.
– Yes. – You’re an immigrant.
– Yes. – You’re an entrepreneur.
– Yes. – You’re in young media and new
media but you also have a lot of friends that are you know much
older than you but also almost like mentors but they
do business with you. How do they respond to your
sort of cutthroat success? – My thing his worked for me
progressively because at first, I basically have started from
out of my mind and completely an idiot to he’s been right
for so long he’s probably. It’s unbelievable how
70-year-old tycoons and other people that are
winning now come and look at me when I say anything. I feel like another five or
seven years, I’m like, “Okay listen here’s what you do. “Go naked, cartwheel
and make it a Gif,” and I said gif, not jif, “and make it on SmoogaSmooga.com
that’s one day old,” and I feel like very established
people will be like, “Alright.” – Alright I’ll do it. – So what’s happening and I’m
sure you I felt the same in your career with food, as you build
reputation and you know the good thing about reputation and
you’ve been the beneficiary of this as well.
It’s earned. – Yeah. It is. – People don’t
want to listen to me. As a matter of fact a lot of
people that listen to me and give me respect
doing it begrudgingly. – Yeah. – Because I do it with a
different kind of vibe than they want it.
– Oh definitely. – You know? – It’s very
direct and very smart. – I think what’s happening is–
– Honestly, I feel I save time when I listen to you. Honestly because
you’re very direct. – I understand.
– No. It’s not really
thought about how correct. – Time is something I value
a lot so that makes sense. Makes me feel good. India. – [Voiceover] Stamp and Coins
asks, “What’s the biggest change

“sort our friends into groups? If not, why?” – I really hope they add a friends list or change that aspect up a little bit. – Yeah because sometimes I want to send it to a person and then I accidentally click a wrong name and said it’s the wrong person and I’m like oh […]

“sort our friends into groups?
If not, why?” – I really hope they add a
friends list or change that aspect up a little bit. – Yeah because sometimes I want
to send it to a person and then I accidentally click a wrong
name and said it’s the wrong person and I’m like oh sorry. Maybe should they should be able
to let you choose friend groups. Let’s say you, let’s be real, I
want to send it to Ariel, this so and so maybe
I should have a friend list, this group, I want to
send to this group. – My point of view on it
India and crew is I think what’s Snapchat and musical.ly have
done really well as the next generation platforms that
have attention is they’ve not followed the historic patterns
of the other platforms which I think has brought a lot of
relevance to this demo so I think the be very calculated. I think Evan’s clearly shown
over the last three years that he has no interest in paying
attention to what everybody else wants him to do with the product
and I think he’ll be pretty calculated with
where he goes with it. I think even if the demo is pent
up and asking for they’re not going to be so quick
to add that feature. I think they clearly want to be
the number one at messaging app in the world hence why they put
so much into this latest update. Speaking of which,
how did you like the latest update in Snapchat? – I don’t like that —
– Too many things? – No, I like the filters and
everything I just like the story part when you’re done watching
someone’s story it automatically goes to the next one.
I don’t like that. – It’s too much effort for you
to just go up and get out of it? – Well sometimes
it just come quick. – Your finger is bothered. Maybe your nail polish is too
wet and you don’t want to do it. – Sometimes it’s like if you
get onto and I just click it out it’s still there showing that
it’s a recent update and that bothers me.
I like to clear it out. – Understood. And for you? What about the chat,
one-on-one chat function? Apologize, I’ll come right back. DRock you know I did
that for everybody– – [DRock] Yep.
– to leave a comment. My people love to leave comments
that I interrupt and so I do it on purpose because
I love the hate. So what’s your point of
view on the chat aspect? – The chat aspect I think it’s
cool I haven’t really gotten a chance to–
– Really delve into it? – Yeah. – Just making too
many musical.ly’s. – Exactly. – One last thing I definitely
want to know one more time in the collective high school
you’re in where if you had to have one net score freshmen
to seniors the ranks just your opinions the number one
app is Snapchat right now? – No, Twitter. For my
school it’s Twitter. – Really?
– Yes. Twitter is– – Twitter’s the number one, the
number one across all users of all four grades the amount
of people that are on it and using it?
– Twitter. – Twitter because everyone is
like did you see Twiter Video? – This is unbelievable. Wow. – What’s your Twitter?
– Follow me on Twitter. – Interesting. – And next is
probably Snapchat. – Yeah and then? Not a lot of people really like,
they don’t like musical.ly. They think it’s cool
that we do it but they don’t really go on it. They made some here
and there and they’re like yeah and they’re like– – Are they consuming?
Because I understand making versus consuming
is a whole other thing. I do think the barrier of
making a very good musical.ly is harder. I do think one thing the
Snapchat has going for it is you can be like psssh. You know, this clearly a
creative level on musical.ly similar to YouTube, similar to
other platforms, similar, by the way, to early Instagram
and this is actually where musical.ly goes. I think musical.ly now has a
threshold of creative but I’m very curious does it go the
route of YouTube and continues to be important and always
important or does it go the route of Instagram did because
early Instagram you had to have, it was really photography sites.
– Yeah. – That was the early crew
and then mainstreamed out. Watching this mainstream out
from afar for me in your demo and younger especially as you
start seeing these 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12-year-olds it will be
interesting to see if people are willing to not make perfect are
you to be a place in 24 months where you’ll be thinking
differently of the level of a musical.ly that you need to make
versus the way thinking about it today?
– That’s a hard question. – [India] Do you want to
show how you make one? – Yeah. – Just a quick one minute demo
of how you make one because it’s pretty cool. – Okay.
– Okay. Any song in particular? – [India] No, your favorite.
You pick. – [Woman] What was the song
you guys did this morning? It was good.
– Blessings? – [Woman] Can you
do that together? – Oh, “Me, Myself and I”.
– We do that one? – Basically you
choose your song– – Why don’t you
get up and we’ll… – Want to explain it? Go back so you can
see the music part. So there’s different settings
epic, slow, normal, fast and lapse.
Epic is fast, right? – Epic, here I’ll show you. Epic is (music play
3x normal speed). – Slow is going to be fast. Normal is normal and then fast
is what we use and it a slow motion. (music playing at half speed) And then it just combines
it to be fast. It looks cool and then there’s a
timer that they just added and I now you can switch the camera
and also you can slide to where you want to play it. – And they provide you with 30
seconds if it’s on because they have songs on there but you also
get from your own library and you can choose
from the whole song. – And have you been happy with
the speed in which the feature updates have been
coming through? – Yes.
– Yes, very happy. – Alright, good. – So you want us to
make one? Together? – [India] Yeah, that’d be fun. – Together. Okay, ready? – [Phone, Music Half Speed]
♫ Oh, it’s just me, myself and I ♫ ♫ Solo ride until I die
Cause I got me for life ♫ ♫ Got me for life,
Oh I don’t need a hand to hold ♫ ♫ Even when the night is cold ♫ ♫ I got that fire in my soul ♫ – Love it. India,
let’s clap that up. (applause) – And then it comes out fast. – [Phone, Music Full Speed]
♫ Solo ride until I die Cause I got me for life ♫ ♫ Got me for life,
Oh I don’t need a hand to hold ♫

– [Voiceover] Luca asks “What make musical.ly great? “What’s the future of it?” – What I like most I think when I go on it allows me to be creative because I might want to do comedy one and be funny that day or I want to make a lip-synch and depending upon the song […]

– [Voiceover] Luca asks
“What make musical.ly great? “What’s the future of it?” – What I like most I think
when I go on it allows me to be creative because I might want to
do comedy one and be funny that day or I want to make a
lip-synch and depending upon the song I want to do if
it’s a really sad song– – Will you made sad content
when you’re actually sad? – Yes. – Or will you make sad content
when you’re like I’ve been doing a lot of funny, I’ve been
doing a lot of this. – Both.
– Yeah. – Both.
– Because your strategic? – Exactly. As much I want to think of it
whatever I want to do let us do it but if I did 10 comedies
the other day I can’t do 10 more comedies. – How many pieces of
content will you do in a day? – When it’s a good day yeah I’m
ready some musical.lys I’ll do like three or four. If I’m coming home
tired, I’ll do one or two. – And for you?
– Same. What do you think you’ll
do the first day of summer? – Probably 10. – Sometimes I’ll be like
okay mom leave alone I’m doing musical.lys and I’ll be in
there for like two hours– – And that’s an
acceptable thing, right? Mom’s like oh crap
she’s doing musical.ly. – Exactly. She can’t
take the phone away. – She walks and she’s like–
– Mom. – (whispers) Oh I’m
sorry, I’m sorry. If I get in trouble I’m like
haha you can’t take my phone away because I can stop posting
musical.lys because they’ll be like where’s Arii
or where’s Ariel? – What about the comments? Obviously comments, especially
at the young ages they you’re at, right, how down do you get
when the comments are mean or how do you deal with positive
versus negative comments? – At the beginning, when I
first started there was a lot of comments and it was like mean. I have a really high esteem
so I was like I don’t care. I don’t even look at
my comments at all. I don’t look at none of them. – Right because you don’t
want to get down on the stuff that’s negative.
– Yeah. – I actually started an
anti-bullying movement because at first I got a lot of comments
in the same thing just for stupid things. Oh you’re ugly, oh what
are you doing? Duh, duh, duh. And instead of pushing to the
side because that’s what most people I saw do
they just ignore it. I tweeted about and I was like
this isn’t right because if I’m getting it then who
knows there might be another little girl that gets it. – Of course. And for
many people watching you’re a little girl so
that makes sense. Real quick have you thought
about engaging the comments? Do you say thanks
when people are giving you love and
things like that nature? – On Instagram it’s really hard
to see because I have so much. I have 1.1 million, she has 1.9
it’s hard to see, but Twitter is mainly where I notice a lot of
people and I’ll favorite all the tweets when I tweet.
– Got it. – On Intagram, it’s hard like
she said it’s hard to do one by one but there’s days where I’ll
post a picture of me hugging a supporter and saying
thank you to everybody. – And how do you think in
community in musical.ly? – Huh? – How do you think about
the community in musical.ly? – I think it’s positive, there’s
just some kids that are cruel and they’ll just go on to our
pages, comment rude things. – Have you thought of engaging
with them are incorporating them into your content? – Yeah. I actually
thank you of that. I talked about that with
my family the other day. I wanted to start doing
once a week of maybe a duet competition. – And how you guys
think about collaborations? Obviously I assume you guys
collaborate with each other that was easy have you
done a lot of collabos? – Yes. Not a lot I’ve done
on with three or four. – Do you get asked by a lot of
people who are trying to build up their musical.lys
to do a collaboration? – Not really. If I collabed with someone
it’ll probably be like my cousin because she’s also
musical.ly and she loves it. Were going to actually an
event and a week or so like 10 days called Playlist Live and
all of our friends that we’re in a group chat with are going to
be there so they all want to collab and we’re very excited. – DRock. Let’s get over
there and collab. Okay, India. – [Voiceover] Paul asks, “Will

– [Voiceover] Kasey asks, “How many times does it take “you to make a musical.ly?” – Well Kasey it depends on the song that we’re working on or the type of musical.ly that we’re working on. Certain songs may take us an hour. – It’s kind of like saying we’re perfectionists. If it doesn’t look […]

– [Voiceover] Kasey asks,
“How many times does it take “you to make a musical.ly?” – Well Kasey it depends on the
song that we’re working on or the type of musical.ly
that we’re working on. Certain songs may
take us an hour. – It’s kind of like saying
we’re perfectionists. If it doesn’t look right–
– Then I’ll do it again. – Are you guys producing a
lot of content together? Like you’ll go over to
each other’s house and be like alright, let’s get to work.
– Yeah. – That’s cool ’cause since
we live like a minute away from each other– – Like you walk?
– We could, we don’t. – What do you do?
– Drive. – But you don’t drive yet.
– No, no, no. You ask your parents to
drive one minute? – We do events and stuff
together so our moms will talk about something that we’re going
to do like a couple weeks out. – We’ll do meet and greets
kind of a month ago right before Spring Break. – Who’s showing up to
the meet and greets? What percentage are
girls of your age? – It ranges from like 6–
– I told you. – I think the youngest
is like 6 to 12, 13. – I’ve seen a lot
of 17 year olds. – Yeah, 17 year olds. The oldest is probably 17.
– 17. This one girl came and she was
12 and her older sister was like 22 and she was like my sister
showed me your and I was like I really like you also. – Yeah, my cousin had a friend
and she’s worked with this girl for three months or so and my cousin saw musical.ly
pop up on her phone. She’s like you have musical.ly? She was like yeah, I love
those two girls and she was like Arii’s my cousin.
She’s like no way. She’s like 26 and
I know Ariel too. – Yeah, if you’re on
American Idol people love. You think 26 is old, right?
Yeah. – Yeah, not mean but like– – That hurts Staphon, right? It’s going to happen
to you too man. Okay, so what about this,
how many boys show up to these things? – Maybe like one
or two or three. – So it’s a dominate,
dominate girl crowd. – Yes. We definitely have boys.
– And is that good? – We never really…
They’re cute. They’re like 12. – 12 is like super young
for a 15 year old, right? – No!
(laughter) – We never really met
most of our boy supporters. – There was like a meet and
greet that 5 to 8 came boys. – Yeah. Yeah. – Which is cool to see.
– Of course. – They’re so
nervous they’re like hi. – You guys are
famous chicks them. They get nervous. All right India. – [Voiceover] Luca asks
“What make musical.ly great?

the Nickelodeon 2016 Kids
Choice Awards Orange Carpet. I’ve done over 700 interviews
since I was seven years old and I’ve also been pitching a
scripted TV show concept. Eventually I want to expand
to an online TV network sort of thing so I want your
advice on how to monetize. Where do I go from here and
when can I interview you? – Oh my God!
– That’s amazing. – So Piper I’ll save you a
ton of time let’s do it ASAP. Tell me where you’re at,
get to New York, call me. – That was pretty impressive. – Actually sorry Piper, text me. That was amazing. What do you guys
think about that? – I think that when she talked
about how to monetize the short game is to go for brands, the long-term game would be to continue her hosting on YouTube,
push it on her platforms and maybe even grow it in to
sort of a brand where she has a clothing line.
I mean she’s adorable. She has this red hair that is
different she could do something with that.
– Yep. – Make her own little
network. I mean honestly. – Yeah. – And I also think right now,
it’s not about the ads, the pre-roll ads, it’s about who the
brands who want to work with you and that makes
sense with your brand. – Right. – If you have hover board
sponsor a video no one’s going to care. (crosstalk) Find things that work
with your brand and integrated into your content.
Don’t, you know– – I think I will definitely
have you on the show. You’ll interview me and during
that show I’ll give you much more detailed answers
because it’s really predicated on your situation. I don’t know the
financial situation of your parents’
or your situation. There are so many things, I
hate giving general advice when there’s an opportunity
to give specific advice. Since were going to be
hanging out, I’ll go there. The longer you can wait,
the more you will make if you’ve got the talent. I think that’s a real KPI. I think the other thing is, I
noticed all the things you had there I would aggressively
start looking at musically. I don’t know what you guys are
doing with musically either one of you are on it. But I think that is the absolute
platform of junior high right now and it seems like
that would be a very smart place for you to go. I would continue to be first
mover in new places because I think that you’re at such a
young age were that can be a big, big, big advantage. Supply and demand is different
on musically that it is on Snapchat, Instagram or YouTube. We’ll have specific advice
for you Piper very soon. – That was cool.
– That was cool. – Now you guys.
What do you got? – I was thinking of questions
and I pretty much know all the
