Inside the Influencer: Edsta, A Creative Genius

I had the pleasure of interviewing Edsta, one of our partnered Instagram influencers.
He embodies creativity and authenticity and is always looking to provide positivity and perspective for his followers.
Describe yourself in three words.
Edsta: Minimalistic, entertaining and trendy.
What does an average day look like for you?
Edsta: I like to start my day off with a morning jog or bike ride. After which, I come home and make breakfast, my favorite being scrambled eggs, with all the fixings in it (vegetables, spices etc.).
After my breakfast, I go straight to the computer to start working on my craft. This allows me to plan and work on current and future projects. While working on everything I talk to my friends and if possible, set some time aside to hang out with them. I am constantly striving to grow and progress my presence as well as my reputation.
What is your biggest source of inspiration behind your content?
Edsta: I draw inspiration from many sources. One of them being Jim Carrey. I love his sense of humor and his demeanor. I strive to reflect his sense of humor and tidbits of his personality on my YouTube channel.
For my fashion and style, I draw inspiration from modern artists and celebrities. I really love modern art and the simplicity it brings. I grew up loving Star Wars, it really drives my interest in futuristic trends. I draw inspiration from the futuristic and simplistic aspects and apply that to my Instagram and enjoy the mono-chromatic theme that I have on my page.
Overall, I love the modernistic and simplistic style that is growing in today’s world and I am always looking to expand my perception of style.
You display persistence and authenticity in your posts, why are those two things important to you?
Edsta: I do it for my followers, but I also do it for myself.
I always want to stay true to who I am. If you don’t stay true to yourself, it is easy to lose track of what your purpose is. I come from a perfectionist background. I want to be the best I can be and hope that I can inspire others in doing so.
I find encouragement and motivation from the positivity that I receive on social media. It drives me to produce more content that can hopefully leave a positive effect on people.
If you could offer a piece of advice for aspiring social media influencers?
Edsta: Always stay true to yourself. Persistence and authenticity is what should drive you. Take motivation from your role models and develop your own brand and image. Remember to always be yourself and display that through your posts
What brought you into working with Endorsify?
Edsta: A connection was made through Endorsify. I checked you guys out and I knew I wanted to get involved right away with a growing business that has partnerships with very prestigious companies.
I specifically love the Sprite brand. I grew up loving Coca-Cola and how they market themselves as a lifestyle and not a product. I would love to be involved in something like that.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Edsta: Dreaming and wishing. I would love to be fully independent and self-sufficient on social media. I want to continue to be able to inspire and connect with my followers.
Edsta was always interested in acting and the creative field. Whether it was his obsession with LEGO when he was younger, or his love of modern architecture. Edsta has always been a creator and it will be exciting to see him fulfill his potential in the years to come.
