YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Benito Skinner, also known as Benny Drama, is arguably the top celebrity impersonator on TikTok. His ultracampy impressions of stars like Billie Eilish and Timothee Chalamet have gotten millions of views and landed the LGBT creator partnerships with Svedka, McDonald's, Ulta, Pepsi and Target. His playful rendering of Kourtney Kardashian's relationship with Travis Barker also caught Kardashian's attention, leading the two to collaborate, both playing twin lovestruck Kourtney Kardashians.

Skinner sat down with Forbes at the Under 30 Summit to talk about his rise to fame, how he stays grounded and why success is a marathon.
