We recently connected with Sydney Belle and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Sydney thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
I’ve known what I wanted to with my life since the moment I could walk and talk. When I was little, I would put on shows for anyone who was willing to watch. Sometimes people would make fun of me. But even at a young age, my mom prepared me for the haters! Content creating has been the best way for me to express myself and entertain since covid began. I love to make people laugh and smile, so it’s a dream come true to get to do it everyday.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m Sydney Belle and i’m a 21 year old content creator from New York. Over the past few years, i’ve gathered over 2.1 million tiktok followers, and over 130K instagram followers. I’m known for my bold fashion sense, being my silly myself, and being attached to my moms hip. She does my hair and picks out all my clothes. I can do it, i’m an adult. But she’s so talented, we both love to dress me up and do photoshoots. I’m most proud of the platform i’ve built, and the impact it’s had on young people. My social media accounts are places people come to cheer up after a bad day. Or a place for encouragement and inspiration. It moves me that i’m able to impact so many peoples lives positively, and show them that they shouldn’t be afraid to make a fool of themselves. I’m definitely not, i’m a goof ball. I’ve been trained in acting, singing, and dance. And i’ve also walking the runway at NYFW for two years now. However, I’ve always wanted to be a movie star and i will work endlessly till it happens. I’m also a song writer, and will be releasing my first original song this summer. My main goal within achieving my dreams is the same thing. To inspire young people everywhere that they can do and be anything they choose to be. And to love yourself. Nothing will set you free like accepting who you are, and acting as your true self.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding thing is knowing i’ve made an impact in people’s life’s in a positive way. My followers always message me, and tell me how i’ve given them confidence in themselves. Nothing is more rewarding than knowing i’ve put a smile on someone’s face. And made them feel good about themselves. So many people will try and knock you down when your different. But I think that’s because they’re too scared. Well I say dare to be different! No icons ever blended in.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I actually started much later than most tiktokers, but that didn’t stop me. I would spend hours and hours in my room making content. After a bit, I started getting some traction. As my following grew, I started to do brand deals. My biggest advice to anyone starting up on social media is that consistency is key! The most important thing is that you’re true to yourself, and are consistent in posting everyday. It can become a bit draining mentally, but it’s the best job I can ask for as a 21 year old. Im beyond blessed to have my platform filled with my loyal and fabulous army of girlfriends.
