Northern B.C. social media star Dancin’ Wayne will be performing at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar next month.
A Northern B.C. man is continuing his journey onto the global entertainment stage during the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Dancin' Wayne has hosted other major sporting events with FIFA in the past and has a flair for engaging and entertaining viewers. “When I came to Northern BC I thought I would do the millennial thing and get that corporate life and then I thought ‘let me try something here,’” Dancin’ Wayne said. “So I started on TikTok and soon I had 100 followers and that turned into 1,000, then it was 50,000 and that turned into 100,000, that turned into 250, then 500,000 and now there’s more than 700,000 and it was just constant work. I just kept making up sketches and started making video content that people felt was relatable.
“Back in July I was in France and I hosted the Cannes Creative Festival and I was there with Anderson Paak and Winston Duke from Black Panther and Regina Hall and Ryan Reynolds and I remember at one point I’m looking around and thinking I’m from Northern BC. How is this possible? This is so awesome!”
