Chubby Kid to Pop Star: Hype House Alum's Journey

A former Hype House member has revealed his personal journey from feeling overlooked due to his appearance to achieving success as a pop artist. He confessed that his 'raspy' vocals differed from the polished sound of mainstream artists like Justin Bieber, and he didn't initially feel they aligned with popular appeal. His standout track, "Ordinary," written for his wife, marked a significant moment in his career.

Fellow TikTok personality Rae also spoke about her experience transitioning from social media fame to acting and subsequently pursuing a music career. She admitted to initial disappointment with herself due to high expectations but eventually learned to release those pressures. Rae emphasized her belief in achieving goals through hard work, noting that many initially doubted her musical aspirations.

Both artists found their audience through relatable songs like "Ordinary" and "Diet Pepsi." Their success highlights a growing trend of social media influencers leveraging their platforms to pivot into broader entertainment fields, finding genuine artistic expression and fan connection along the way.
