Voice projection is a skill that famous TikToker Only Lit Boy had to learn in order to have the high pitch required for street singing.
Only Lit Boy, born Edward Mbaria, spent a week practicing voice projection in a field near his home every morning, where he would shout and enjoy listening to the echoes.
Only Lit Boy has become a social media comedy figure, with 4.7 million TikTok likes and 736,000 followers.
Only Lit Boy, for the uninitiated, bursts into a crowd wearing his trademark headphones and begins screaming lyrics from popular songs.
Only Lit Boy began singing in the streets last August, inspired by a desire to do something different.
Only Lit Boy's Tiktok video received 1.2 million likes after being inspired by his dance partners, as he is also a dancer.
"My first singing video was Sipangwingwi." "The responses gave me the motivation I needed to keep going," he says.
Even though many in the audience were impressed by his stunt, Only Lit Boy claims that one man in the audience was disappointed.
"If you were my son, I would beat you so thoroughly in order to knock some sense in your head," the man said to him.
The 20-year-old performs in markets in an unusual tone that draws everyone's attention because only he can hear the song.
"Being an altar boy who sang in church gave me confidence in front of a crowd." "I participated in drama festivals when I was in primary and high school, and that was my stepping stone," he told Nation.Africa in an interview.
Even though he is not yet paid for his street singing, Only Lit Boy claims that he has been approached by brands who want him to wear their merchandise while singing.
