Tubefilter:How does it feel to have more than one million YouTube subscribers? What do you have to say to your fans?
ItsBambii: It feels amazing. I worked so hard for everything I have. I did it all by myself so for people to support me is amazing! I love my #teambambii we have a close relationship.
TF: With so many vloggers on YouTube, what would you say makes your style stand out?
IB: I feel like I speak the truth. I don’t sugarcoat anything, I give the full details.
TF: What inspires your music and what is your songwriting process like?
IB: When I’m mad or sad I just like to express it through music it makes me feel so much better. My songwriting process takes a while as I brainstorm a lot and go for walks just singing random stuff.
TF: As someone who posted a lot of videos on Vine, are you excited for the new “Vine 2” that’s launching soon?
IB: Yes I am excited for “Vine 2” but I’m not sure yet if I will create an account.
TF: What do you think is the biggest misunderstanding YouTube viewers have about trans people?
IB: That we are confused gay boys in women’s clothing and aren’t “real” women.
TF: Have you received comments from trans viewers who have been inspired by the journey you’ve shared in your videos?
IB: Yes all the time I love to inspire. I literally transformed on YouTube.
TF:How do you decide which parts of your life to share with your fans and which parts to keep offline?
IB: If I feel like it can help people, I will share even if negative because I want to inspire. If it’s something personal or I want to keep to myself I won’t say anything because I can’t tell everything as I like having my life a little private.
TF: What would you say is the most significant way your life has changed since you became big on social media?
IB: I’m still the same. When I’m out and the entire mall stops for me, I’m like “Wow little ole me? Y’all really like me?”
TF: What’s next for your channel? Any fun plans?
IB: Ha! I wish I could tell you but I cannot. Just stay tuned to Itsbambii Playhouse xoxo
