How I Became TikTok Famous - Part 1

This is the first part of the story of how I reached a small to moderate level of fame on TikTok. (100k followers) As a 54 year man playing all original music, that's quite an accomplishment. I told this story at the Boulder Story Slam in Boulder, Colorado -- hosted by my sister, @johannawalker #tiktok #howto #famous

"And then nothing happened" 😂

But seriously, that sounds incredible, I love how you make these less common instruments sound so amazing

[Shuby_Cooks]

He’s a performer through and through. The way he tells his tik tok journey is like a audio visual ride for the audience to keep them enthralled. A true musician. Loved it!

Can’t wait for part two I’m gonna share this with my friends

[Lampman.]

Dude this guy is electronic music without electricity how bro it's so cool!

[puppetpatti]

😁😁😁 Loved hearing you tell it that way🤗 Gave me a huge grin

[lime]

hal casually just beastin on all of us common folks like he aint some earthly melodic god... and yeah he do be vibin doe

[lonely_ghost]

Bro he's one of the very few people I've seen do "glitches" on instruments with just his hands and mouth perfectly. Like I find it interesting and cool to play. As a Percussionist, I find so many cool instruments but my god when I discovered the Khaen instrument on his TikTok, I never wanted an instrument so bad in my life. Not after discovering the Steel Tongue drums by Jonathan Neumann (really cool guy and posts a lot of relaxing stuff on the channel)

[tweeleaf]

the girl: *im boutta start this man’s whole career*

[cobrahazarddj]

They need to make a Mario galaxy 3 and hire this guy give him a harmonica and banakulas and let him make the soundtracks that would be absolutely amazing

[bafian]

this guy has some nice Brasilian flavor to his music, it remembers me to hermeto pascoal

[Mr.bonbon]

Just gonna said "I am happy"

[gabrielrivera]
