What does a Harlem 8th grader who wants to be a video star, but has no recording equipment, do on summer break? He goes down to the Apple Store on 5th Avenue and uses the interactive display cameras there and sends the file to his computer at home. With startled, wandering folks in the background, Nicholi White lip synchs and dances his way to becoming a youtube hit and has been invited to appear on Oprah most recently. Read about this young celebrity's rise as a youtube phenom in today's NY Post: link.
This kid's gonna go far if he's doing this at 13…brilliant format he's hit on there with the incredulous customers in the background unawares they're starring in a YouTube vid and us half expecting shop staff to shut him down part way through. Compelling.
