How does a teen become a Musical.ly star? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Howard has become “King of Musical.ly music videos,” spending up to seven hours creating a minute-long lip-syncing clip. After being featured on the app, he’s gained followers and fame—with fans even tipping him for his work through sister app, Live.ly. (Some are sending him as much as $100 in a single transaction.) But he doesn’t believe people can become celebrities through Musical.ly alone, and for Howard, VidCon is the next step. (NYMag)
