TikTokers are proving themselves to be much more than one-platform wonders, with some
of them even breaking into the music scene.
Let’s get into which top TikTokers have gone from lip syncing to actually recording
their own music!
TikTok stars are doing much more than lip syncing in their bedrooms nowadays.
Many of them have gone on to do some really cool things, like act in movies, star in their
own reality shows, befriend Kardashians, and even record their own music!
Like, Jaden Hossler, for instance.
Jaden was actually one of the very first big tiktokers to break into the music scene.
He quit the sway house back in May of 2020 and has since made quite a name for himself
in rock music.
He even collaborated with Blink 182’s Travis Barker, aka Kourtney Kardashian’s boo, and
has worked with other big names in music, as well, like Machine Gun Kelly and Iann Dior.
Jaden has already released a bunch of songs, such as ‘Tonight,’ ‘ Angels & Demons,’
‘ Pray,’ and most recently, ‘La Di Die’ with his now girlfriend Nessa Barrett.
How these two got together and the drama around it is another story for another time.
I will say though, they make some really great music together.
And speaking of Nessa, this young influencer broke into music after her break up with fellow
social media star, Josh Richards.
The two announced their split in June of 2020 and Nessa actually said part of the reason
they broke up was so she could focus more on her music career.
And that she did, as just a month later, she released her first single.
Nessa dropped ‘Pain’ in July 2020, and following it, released the singles, ‘if
you love me’, la di die,’ and most recently, ‘I Hope You’re miserable until you're
dead,’ released in the beginning of August of this year.
This song became HIGHLY anticipated after a snippet of the sound blew up on tiktok,
pretty much the second Nessa posted a teaser.
And after finally dropping, the full version did not disappoint.
The music video, however, did have a bit of controversy around it.
Peach PRC, a fellow TikToker / music artist, had fans point out to her that Nessa’s video
was a little too similar to her music video for her hit single ‘Josh’.
With both having their videos feature a guy watching TV that both Peach and Nessa are
on, to then later be singing to the man outside of the TV.
But I’ll let you be the judge.
Speaking of Peach, although she is usually making us laugh with her comedic videos, she
is quite talented in the music department.
To walk you a little through her career, in 2019, Peach released her single ‘Blondes’
and then in 2020, she released her track, ‘Colourblind.’
But one of her latest singles, ‘Josh,’ blew up big time after she initially played
it on guitar in a tiktok video.
People loved the song so much, she eventually released it as a single in February of this
year.
Next up, we have Dixie D’Amelio who has had quite a bit of success in the music world
thus far.
She started to showcase her skills outside of making fun videos on the platform, by dropping
her first single ever, ‘be happy.’
The song actually got some radio play, and was added to a ton of playlists on streaming
platforms, including a remix, featuring blackbear and Iann Dior.
Following ‘Be Happy,’ Dixie dropped collabs with Wiz Khalifa and former one direction
member Liam Payne, then released, ‘Roommates’, ‘F*ckboy’, and most recently, Psycho,
released on July 23rd 2021.
Chase Hudson aka Lil Huddy is yet another TikToker who managed to break into the music
scene.
He started releasing music in January of this year, putting out singles like ‘21st Century
Vampire,’ ‘The Eulogy of You and Me’ and most notably, ‘America’s Sweetheart.’
America’s Sweetheart got a lot of people talking when the music video featured Chase’s
on-again off-again ex, fellow TikTok star, Charli D’Amelio.
As of right now, the video stands with over 12 million views.
Next up, we have Tayler Holder, who released his first single, ‘100 Rounds’ back in
February of this year.
He followed the release of ‘100 Rounds’ with his second single, ‘I’ll be Alright’
back in May of this year.
Moving onto our next TikToker, this girl has proven to the world to be a triple threat,
as her first movie is just about to be released on Netflix.
Yep, we’re talking about Addison Rae and He’s All That.
Addison is another TikTok star turned not only actor, but musical artist as well!
She released her first single ‘Obsessed’ back in March.
Though the song received mixed reactions, it definitely got a lot of attention, as she
even performed it on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
As for the future of her music career, Addison has teased that more music will be on the
way, although we have yet to get a release date on any future tracks.
Last but not least on our list, we have Bella Poarch, a creator known for her super cute
facial expressions and lip syncing.
With just under 80 MILLION followers on TikTok, Bella’s videos get millions of views everytime
she posts.
But Bella recently proved her talent outside of TikTok after releasing her first single,
‘Build a B***h,’ and the video alone currently stands at just over 280 MILLION views and
counting.
The ‘Build a B***h’ music video also features some stars, such as Bretman Rock, ZHC, and
Valkyrae.
Just to give you an idea of how successful this video truly was, it even topped Olivia
Rodrigo’s ‘Good 4 U’ music video in views.
And we all know how big that song is!
Bella just released her second single earlier this month, ‘Inferno’, featuring Sub Urban…
It’s safe to say though Bella is just beginning her career in music, she’s already killing
it and we look forward to seeing what she puts out next!
That concludes our list of TikTokers turned musical artists.
I wonder which social media star will be next to break into the music scene!
Only time will tell!
