Social media is a platform which never fails to surprise the audience. While there are several platforms which are ruling the internet, it is TikTok which has entered the arena and has become a popular choice among everyone, especially the youth. The lip-sync video platform has seen many talents getting immense popularity at a very young age. Jonathan Peter, a talented South African guy who is living a life of his dreams in Los Angeles has risen to fame as a top-notch TikToker. Originally named Chembe Jonathan Peter Phiri, this young guy has built a family of more than 1 million on TikTok with approximately 27 million likes in just 9 months.
Jonathan got immense recognition for his POV videos. The unique content created by him went viral on TikTok and one of his videos have crossed more than 1.8 million likes which is the highest number for him so far. Reaching the ladder of success in just a year, Jonathan’s content is just evolving with time. Many creators are spellbound by his work ethic and he is rightly inspiring them with his work. The popular TikToker is known for his roles in ‘The Trap’ (2019) and ‘Days of Resilience’ (2019). His mettle as an actor has left many people talking as he has been trained under popular names like Jean Bryant, Mike Pointer and Blake Michael.
What became as a side hustle for Jonathan is now a full-time profession and he feels blessed to make his career as a TikToker. At the initial stage, Jonathan created random video content which gradually made its place among the audiences. Speaking about the time when he realized that he has arrived, Peter said, “It was within a month of having the app when I had my first viral video with over 500 thousand views when I only had about 700 followers. I knew I was always an entertainer but I had no idea how much influence I would actually have one day. I feel happy when children and even the elderly people message me about the impact I have brought on their lives.”
Furthermore, Jonathan Peter has always focused on originality and not copying other’s content. “It is absolutely right if your original content gets fewer likes and views rather than copying other’s work. I have always strived to create my own identity and I am now recognised as the guy who makes the best POV videos. It is all about patience and waiting for the right time. If your content is entertaining and relatable, it will surely find a place amongst the audience”, he added. Besides this, Jonathan Peter is coming up with a lot of interesting concept-based videos and we can’t wait to see what new he has in the store for his fans.
