DTay Blackie is a 25-year-old content creator from Bronx, New York. He has been making content since February 2019. As a broadcasting major, DTay was inspired to become a YouTuber after watching Akademiks & Rob Markman (For the Records), DJ Ghost & The Breakfast Club. When he gained traction on campus with his third public interview, he realized it was a talent he wanted to expand. His first video to go viral was "What’s On Your Bucket List? Miami Spring Break" back in 2020 during the pandemic. Since then, DTay has had multiple videos go viral every year. The video that helped kick start The Kick Back to get more exposure on all platforms was the video “Who’s Your Type?: Scammer, Drug Dealer, or 9 to 5.” The Kickback is an all-inclusive platform that doesn't discriminate and is relatable because it discusses real-life topics and issues. With such a large fan base since the start of his career, DTay incorporates celebrity appearances, spicy topics, and consistent posts into his videos to keep viewers engaged and wanting more.
