Instagram comedic personality, BoxBoy, takes his social media dominance to TikTok amassing more than 48 million followers

BoxBoy’s journey into the tech world began with the sale of an app he built. The app developer sold his project for $10,000 and started making videos in 2018 after meeting Jeffrey Yang, otherwise known as Jefo on the internet. BoxBoy picked up on the Fortnite trend, started growing his brand on the internet, and the rest they say is history. After dominating Instagram with his prank videos, BoxBoy has transitioned to TikTok, where he has continued to push his content, with more than 48 million followers in a relatively short while.

BoxBoy’s journey to online stardom did not come easy and he was able to overcome several challenges to reach his current status. After moving to California, BoxBoy, otherwise known as Harrison ran out of money and had to surf on couches. However, these challenges only spurred him to greatness as he continued to make videos, carving out a niche, and growing his fans online. The talented social media influencer currently has more than 2.5 million followers on his Instagram account and over 350,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. His recent achievement is, however, more remarkable, hitting more than around 48 million followers on Tiktok, a feat that takes even bigger stars several months to achieve.

The growth in popularity and acceptance of the multimillionaire social media star on TikTok comes as no surprise to many of his followers who have become accustomed to his creativity and ingenuity. Besides his controversial videos as regards public experiment on kissing can be controversial, BoxBoy has been able to stay off any form of controversy despite his huge popularity on the internet.

BoxBoy remains one of the most sought-after social media influencers, with different brands across the globe looking to leverage his popularity to reach their target audience. This has helped to grow his net worth, which for some reason, remains a secret to his fans and followers. BoxBoy reportedly earns a substantial amount on his endorsements, with a purported net worth of $30 million US, according to rumors.

What happens when two immensely talented visionaries come together to create elegance and ingenuity in a sculptural glass fragranced candle? Dreamour. That is the long and short version of how Dreamour was created. Founded by Karissa Rowe and Neal Klotsman in late September 2022, Dreamour was founded with the goal of creating a luxury fragrance brand that operates at the intersection of functional art in the candle market space.

Rowe, a Parsons School of Design graduate, set out to fill the niche of integrating design in the candle marketplace. Unlike most candle vessels that are mass-produced, Dreamour’s founders desired to prioritize the artisanal craftsmanship of glass in their production processes of the sculptural glass designs. This resulted in a long timeline of sourcing the globe for talented glass artisans who could transform a sketch into a functional and sophisticated candle vessel. Each and every candle vessel is hand-blown, inherently resulting in a one-of-a-kind product and unique experience for the consumer. These functional fragrant candles also act as a piece of décor due to its sculptural and alluring appearance.

Sweet Vinyl, Dreamour’s first candle scent, fills the room with musky & leathery notes combined with earthy notes of vetiver and cypriol, topped with a citrus touch of bergamot and mandarin. The founders worked with master perfumers in Grasse, France, to create a scent that invoked notes of memorable moments, emphasizing high quality ingredients in the fragrances in a soy wax blend. This resulted in candles that consist of clean ingredients, a vegan formula, and is entirely cruelty-free.

It is the personification of the glass blowers’ spirit, the heart of Grasse imprisoned in a bottle, and the narrative of two visionaries that sets Dreamour at the top of the candle market pedestal. Dreamour embodies the sophistication and savior-faire French perfumery as a luxury brand, while being a NYC based brand. Dreamour is currently stocked at Patron of the New in New York, along with other major designer luxury known brands. Rowe and Klotsman are currently expanding their production lines and will drop new fragrances and designs in early 2023. Don’t expect anything ordinary with Dreamour, as they will continue to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace of home fragrances.
