Back in 2012 Dylan Musanhu started making
short YouTube videos where he would rap, lip sing or dance. From the beginning
of his career he knew that he wanted to be in the media. Now verified on
several social media accounts, where he uses the name “Dylan Kardashian”, he
has thousands of followers that now keep up with his day-to-day life.
“It all began after Nicki Minaj reposted my photo with
her on her Instagram in 2013. It was such a big deal that I started getting
press from that. A few days later she retweeted a video of my reaction to her
posting my photo and that’s when my YouTube channel started getting 10s &
thousands of views.”
Not only is
she to thank for the huge influence she had on his social media accounts, but
also at the age of just 20, he created the graphic design for Nicki Minaj’s
beverage ‘Myx Moscato’, which she used as promotion for her remix with Maroon
5.
It was clear
that Dylan had talent, but the influence of one celebrity helped him get where
he is today and the incredible advances he has for his future career working
with actress Khanyi Mbau.
“Working with her has been amazing and I can see how
I’ve also grown in terms of the work I produce and decisions I make. As her
brand manager I’m always involved in her projects therefore I’m constantly
working. Creating her mobile app ‘Khanyi Mbau Digital’ which went number 1 on
the App Store in only a few hours is still my best highlight of my work with
her.”
Dylan has
also let us know that there are future production collaborations lined up for
the last half of this year, so we can definitely be expecting to see more of
Dylan Kardashian online.
“As well as working online with social media and
working as a brand manager, I am still studying, still working towards the end
of my degree.” Being able to do the work that he loves online
seems to have created so many opportunities for his academic career and wishes
to start work on a short film soon after graduating.
Close
interaction with celebrities has led him to many prospects, especially his
latest one with E!. With an invitation to the KUWTK launch party, it’s clear
that there is going to be some collaboration happening in the future.
Dylan’s
story proves that by doing what he loved, he was able to work his way into the
career he wanted.
“It’s one thing
when people are congratulating you on what you’re doing but it gets even better
when I get people my age and younger telling me how I inspire them.”
