Now it pays my bills just from constantly being consistent, putting my work out there.”Brockman now splits his time between Texas, Los Angeles, and New York with invites to the Grammys and New York Fashion Week. These accomplishments are thanks to his TikTok fame.
“ TikTok, there's been ups and downs with if it's going to stay, if it's going to go,” Brockman said. “So, the very first time it was kind of a threat, I instantly moved to YouTube.
