The way we communicate with one another has changed dramatically as a result of technological advancements. Instant communication and social media outreach have brought us closer together than ever before, allowing previously unknown faces to shine in front of millions, if not billions, of people. Casey Hamilton, as @MrHamilton on TikTok, used social media to transform from a teacher to one of the most popular artists on the internet.
Casey Hamilton: Chaotic Positivity
Let’s take a look at Mr. Hamilton’s climb to fame and how he went from teaching in Plant City to capturing the hearts of TikTok users all around the world!
You’d never guess Hamilton was a teacher if you saw one of his TikTok videos on the spur of the moment. The 25-year-old TikTok celebrity began his career on the site by selling his personality, which was something that everyone in his classroom admired. Hamilton symbolizes the new generation of TikTok stars who are sweeping the world of pop culture. Hamilton dons his favored crocs, which is a joke in and of itself, while the rest of his clothing is a parody of a cartoon-obsessed pre-teen.
Hamilton’s TikTok account presently has over 5 million followers and is growing by the day, but for what reason? Hamilton brings a lot of energy to his impersonations and routines, which is more than just childlike fun. Hamilton’s portrayal of Plankton, a favorite with the Spongebob generation, was one comedy that received millions of views. Hamilton has made videos mimicking, well, everything, so impersonations aren’t limited to celebs.
When Hamilton isn’t putting on a show for his fans with impersonations, he’s sharing his soaring vocals with them. Smash Mouth’s cover of All-Star drew attention, but so did Hey, Delilah, a song about a stripper. These performances include a variety of dance moves, but one thing is consistent: Casey isn’t afraid to be the center of attention.
From Plant City to Tik Tok Stardom
Hamilton worked as a TV Production Teacher at Plant City High School, where he helped his students create a morning show. Hamilton was able to flex his creative muscles and spread his contagious positivity in this environment, encouraging students to fall in love with sketches, comedy, and all forms of artistic entertainment. The morning news at school gradually turned into a delightful mashup of entertainment, which students enjoyed watching.
Casey Hamilton’s mother, Jennifer Hamilton, had a lot to say about her son. “I don’t think that was everyone’s cup of tea,” Casey admitted. Despite this, Jennifer had to acknowledge that Casey’s students enjoyed the event. “He turned our TV show around,” Jennifer explained, “the students enjoyed the humor and would pay attentively.”
Despite this, Hamilton’s electrifying personality quickly made him a student favorite. Outside of school, it was only natural to move into comedy. Hamilton, who was born and raised in Plant City, exploited his upbringing and the close-knit community to establish his brand in the most natural way possible. That is perhaps the most intriguing aspect about Hamilton. From the ground up, his success has been organic.
