We took the opportunity to speak with him about social media, games and a lot more. Anyway, let's check out what Daniel said 🎉 Enjoy! Watch Daniel host the Red Bull Flick finals 👉HERE👈 Tjena Daniel! How come you started with YouTube? Me and my friend were inspired by big prankster YouTubers from USA [VitalyZdTV and Roman Atwood]. So, me and my friend started a prank channel in 2013, which we called NormelTV. We made fun international pranks, social experiments and viral videos. Our biggest video got over 16 million views. We haven’t been active since 2016 though. Directly after, we started another Swedish vlogging channel together and later made our own Swedish channels where we both are active on right now. How did you start with the music? I started making music in 2019 when I first released a parody song on a viral song made by a Swedish rapper. The feedback was great, which gave me motivation to make more music. I’ve released a total of 7-8 songs since then. Music from Daniel's YouTube channel 🎶 You're a very successful creator - what makes you, you? I think it’s my unique style of doing videos. I also make a lot of pranks in public, which is quite unusual in Sweden, so I guess I stand out. I am the biggest public prankster in Sweden right now. You're one of the most popular Swedes on TikTok - how did you start and why? In the beginning it was a complement to my other social media, really. To reach out to an audience that I couldn't reach through YouTube and Instagram. It was just for fun. At that time it became a viral app, everybody used it, so I figured "Why shouldn't I try it out?". Since I had quite a big following on other media already, I quickly got an audience. What makes TikTok so much fun? It's very easy to make a clip go viral. It spreads so fast compared to other media. The algoritms work differently, so your content can quickly reach new people that might not normally be your target audience. The extremely fast dispersion makes it a lot of fun. Also, TikTok will only get bigger and more popular. Right now, I think that TikTok's got the highest potential to grow to be the leading social media platform. Through mixing aspects from Instagram, YouYube and Snapchat, they've created a great concept that works in this media landscape. But you never know, new apps gets created everyday. The most important thing is to be adaptable and not afraid to try new things out. Do you post different aspects of your life on different social media? Yes, absolutely! They're very varied. TikTok is more of an everyday vlogg. What I do normally each day, mixed with comedy clips. I try to put a smile on peoples faces everyday through TikTok. However, YouTube is still the platform I enjoy the most. Since I started on YouTube, it's the one that I care for the most. Also, I find it easier to express myself fully on YouTube, it fits my frame of creation. TikTok's all about fast and short clips, YouTube is a more thorough experience. If you want to know who I am, Daniel Norlin, YouTube is the way to go. The videos simply show more of my personality. TikTok and Instagram is a little bit more shallow, which is also the idea, of course. Red Bull Flick was hosted by Daniel Norlin © Elias Gammelgård If it's a funny or interesting trend, then I always strive to be one of the first ones to implement it. Daniel Norlin on new trends What motivates you? I’m inspired by other creators, and I love when I get people to smile. I also love being free and work wherever I want. Traveling the world has been my motivation, as I do it a lot in my work. What are your thoughts on CS:GO? CS in general has been a game of my childhood. That’s the first game I got on my PC and the one that made me addicted to games. What I loved most in CS is the Surfing mechanic. I’m not playing that much nowadays. But I love seeing other people play. There are so many pro players in Sweden, and it’s amazing how it is a ”sport” now. Daniel Norlin interviewing Bagcibrothers © Elias Gammelgård I want to be an entertainer, travel the world and do music! Daniel Norlin on where he sees himself in five years You hosted the Swedish finals of Red Bull Flick. What did you think of the event and is hosting something you want to continue with? As CS:GO is such a big game, it’s such a great initiative and idea from Red Bull. People have fun, connect and share memories together. We need more tournaments like Red Bull Flick! I had such a good time on the day of the finals. I feel privileged to host a big Red Bull event, and to host Red Bull Flick, a concept that is loved by so many people around the world. To be a part of that is very fun! Flick is only going to get bigger and bigger. The concept is great. Hosting is definitely something that I like. I actually have a little bit of experience, since YouTube is a kind of a show where I am personally hosting my own videos. Compared to YouTube however, Red Bull Flick was live, so it came with a lot of new challenges. But it's always fun to challenge yourself, to try out new things and to grow as an entertainer and creator.
