Hi Nick, please tell us a little about you?
Hi! I’m a dancer/actor/influencer who lives in LA. I love traveling, snowboarding, & playing video games.
Describe yourself in 3 words?
Confident, Understanding, & adventurous
Name one your strengths?
One of my strengths is being able to give good advice. It’s really important to put yourself in the other persons shoes & really focus on them.
Best advice ever given?
This is actually pretty funny but it worked. When I was 12 years old before my friend went on stage, I told them to pretend everyone in the audience was wearing underwear.
Who has made the biggest impact on your life so far, and why?
My brother Tommy has made a huge impact on my life. We have a big age difference but we are very similar in a lot of ways. His dedication & hard work inspires me. He positively impacts my work ethic, the way I view people, & my dedication.
How did you get started in the influencer business?
It’s actually always been a dream of mine to be an influencer. I used to make dance videos when I was like 12.
What did you learn from your biggest failure?
My biggest failure taught me that trust is a powerful thing that you shouldn’t give to everyone. Keeping my circle smaller & only trusting the people who give me 100% is the way to go!
What’s your advice for the newer influencers or entrepreneurs?
If you are really passionate to be an influencer, you have to work hard & consistently. It’s very hard but, try not to look at numbers as much. At the end of the day if you have great content, brands will see that & love it. quality over quantity.
What would say are the greatest lessons you learned so far in this business?
The 3 main lessons I’ve learned from this industry is to be careful who I trust, always put family first, & make sure to enjoy what I’m doing because if I’m not happy, it’ll be noticed.
Now tell us about the huge TikTok success and what are you doing to keep it going and growing even more?
I love TikTok so much! It’s such a fun easy app to make super short catchy videos. My success came from my dancing videos as well as some comedy/collab videos. I came up pretty fast gaining 100s of thousands of followers each day!
What do you think is the secret to have a successful TikTok account?
The secret is quality & consistency.
When you started your account, did you expected such a success?
I didn’t expect success but I hoped & worked for success.
As a popular influencer you are followed by so many young people. How do you feel about that pressure of doing always the right thing, and encourage people to follow their dreams?
There is a ton of pressure on me at all times but being there for so many kids & being able to inspire them makes up for it. Seeing fans reactions in person or online is the cutest thing ever & I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I bet you get millions of it, but what are the best and worst Instagram DM pickup lines you received so far?
The best DM pickup line I got was “you cant spell corona virus without u & I” & my worst pickup line was just “come over” haha
Tell us about your recent wedding with Symonne Harrison? Big Congrats 🙂
Symonne & I had a big promise wedding in las vegas. Now, this wedding was actually a prank but it was truthfully when I gave her a promise ring!
What actor/actress/model do you admire the most, and why?
I admire Justin Bieber! His music recently has been very relatable and touching for me. My favorite song right now by him is “lonely”. He has been in the spotlight his whole life but has somehow made a way for it to be fun!
What’s next for Nick Bencivengo in 2022?
I am filming a show with a ton of other creators all this month. Me & my girlfriend have some really crazy youtube videos coming soon & possibly some traveling to meet some fans…
Which project is still on your bucket list?
I would love to star/guest star on a nickelodeon show. I’ve already done an episode for nickelodeon but it would be super fun to have an ongoing role!

Happiness comes from security of your life. If you are secure about your friends, family, career, & surroundings you should start feeling pure happiness.
