We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jaz Oleson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jaz below.
Jaz, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about how you’ve thought about whether to sign with an agent or manager?
Yes. They reached out to me after I hit a million followers.
They made me feel comfortable. Made me feel safe.
No idea! They definitely saw something in me I didn’t see.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
When Covid first started, I (like everyone else) joined tiktok! I had no idea what I was doing nor how to do it. I simply just made videos like everyone else and it took me a minute to get used to standing in front of the camera/lip syncing. Once I started getting good at it, my views did really well. I also came up with very creative videos that went viral. Which led to my most viral video that has 128million views and gained me 600,000 followers in 6 days! When I first started tiktok it was just me and my husband making cute videos and prank videos. Of course mixed with dance videos and transition videos. What set us apart from others is simple being a mixed couple. People always complimented out looks, our cultures and the way we fit well together.
I am most proud of where I am today. I am so proud of myself for bringing extra income into our home, meeting new people, and getting to experience new things because I do social media!
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
To get verified! Not only have I been on tv worldwide but there are countless articles about me and my viral tiktoks. I had the opportunity to go on Jimmy Fallon but could not because I had given birth the day before.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
Meeting new people!! I can’t tell you how many people stop us to say hi, to take a picture, I even had someone scream across the festival saying “I follow you on tiktok”! That was incredible!
