He was a well-known Vine personality, often recognized for his use of the hashtag #whiteteen, which became somewhat of a signature tag in his content. Over time, he built a solid following—amassing more than 290,000 fans on Vine before the platform eventually shut down. Before all the fame, though, things started pretty casually. He first dipped his toes into the world of social media around mid to late 2014, experimenting with short videos that gradually gained traction. Interestingly, he wasn’t the only one in the spotlight—his identical twin brother, Patrick Perkins, also rose to popularity on Vine, making them a recognizable duo in the app’s vibrant community. He spent his early years in Boston, where he was born and raised, living there until he was about six years old before moving on to new chapters. His journey from a local kid to a digital name people followed closely shows just how quickly things can change in the world of social media.
He spent several months working on an EP called I Am Away From Home, and honestly, it was mostly recorded right from the bedroom of his house in Maine. It’s kind of impressive when you think about it—just him, his gear, and that quiet space where he really let his creativity flow. He poured a lot of himself into the project, and you can tell it was personal. The whole vibe of the record reflects that sense of isolation and introspection, which makes sense given it was made in such a private setting. He really captured something special there, all while staying grounded in that small room back home in Maine.
