Q: When did you first discover your love of the drums?

B: “I first discovered my love for drumming when I was 13! I had a good friend of mine let me borrow his practice pad and drum sticks and I fell in love with playing ever since!”

Q: When did you decide to start sharing your talent on social media?

B: “When I was in 8th grade I had to make a video of myself playing an instrument for music class. I had never recorded myself playing drums before but I became very excited at the idea of it. I made a cover to the song “Seven Nation Army” and posted it on youtube for my class to watch. Ever since then I started making videos almost daily!”

Q: What has been your reaction to having now received over 25 Million likes on your content?

 B: “I actually can’t fathom that. I remember just 2 years ago when i was getting under fifty likes a post and now so much has changed. I’m truly blessed to have been able to reach so many people with my videos and all I hope is that it’s inspiring them!”

Q:  Do you have a favorite song to play?

B: “If anyone knows me then they know that iv covered “Sweater Weather” way too many times because I love it so much. However there are other songs I love to play to a lot, such as “Why’d you only call me when you’re high” from Arctic Monkeys and “Ride” by Twenty One Pilots.”

Q: Would you ever consider performing live for your fans in person?

B: “Yes! I haven’t performed for anyone yet, however, It’s a dream of mine to do so. With my bands first single releasing soon and more to follow, I may just be able to!”

Q: What is something about you that most of your fans might not know?

B: “I’m not sure how many people know this but I am the oldest of 7! It’s a pretty big family.” 

Q: What are some of your goals for your social media career?

B: “I don’t have a ton of goals other than being able to reach more and more people with my content! Numbers aren’t something I strive for but instead I really love engaging with the fans and making them feel like they are part of the vision!”

Q: Where can we follow your amazing journey?

B: “You can follow me @braydentabakian on both instagram and tiktok. I post almost daily drum videos and other content! You can also follow my band @homelate which we will be releasing our first single on January 18th!
