Today we’d like to introduce you to Dylan Kevitch
Hi Dylan, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I grew up training to be a professional dancer, went to collage at pace university for commercial dance. I loved dance because it taught me how to be strong and have an insane work ethic. But I had a passion to be a star and i just didn’t think dance was cutting it lol. Although it’s beautiful it was also a very toxic environment. It caused me to be sometimes… depressed. So I decided to put everything into my own hands. I started posting prank call videos one week, and it went semi viral. I felt in my gut that this was the door I’ve been looking for! After months of posting 3 times a day I finally went viral for prank calling. Most importantly, I wanted to make sure to incorporate my acting skills into my calls so that when the audience watches it, they’re basically watching a whole show, Instead of me just harassing people hahahahah. This risk I took from being a professional dancer to “professional prankster” led me to not only make a living off of it, but has introduced to my idol the one and only…Paris Hilton. If I have never believed in myself, trusted, and took that risk.. I would have never accomplished my dreams.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The struggles a long the way were people questioning me “what are you doing with your life?” ….. my answer was always “just you wait babe”. My parents had a hard time understanding the fact that I totally went from this dancer to this prankster.. rightfully sooo. It doesn’t help that I was the problem child growing up but, isn’t that how every icon grew up? Anyways my parents came around when the waiter at dinner asked to take a picture with me. So my main struggle was ignoring the negative people around me that didn’t trust of believe that I knew what I was doing! I mean who what have ever known prank calling would be my niche and not dance!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a comedic content creator known for “the prank call guy” . I started with resteraunts and asking to make a reservation for 5 and a half people. Using crazy names like “awkward like the fish” or “quamf”. Then that lead to people requesting to call their ex boyfriends etc. I’m so proud that my content puts a smile on someone’s face and helps make life not so serious! My favorite accomplishment I have made so far was Paris Hilton noticing me. She reached out and has invited me to every event she has in NYC and has been nothing but so generous and nice! It’s crazy to think that my idol turned into my mentor! Watching her is teaching me a lot about being in the spotlight!
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
The characteristics I feel that are most important to my success is taking care of my inner child. It’s so important to never let that go away! Most of time life is stressful but it’s so important to laugh and idk maybe prank call someone!
