Dylan Farella in Whitterview 57

  Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to the Whitterview. Now I'm sure if you have an Instagram or Twitter account you follow at least one person that is a content creator and all they do is tweet pretty much what everyone else is thinking. And it's usually HILARIOUS. I follow a few and well I brought one of those funny content creators to you today: Dylan Farella! 

I recommend you go follow him if you haven't already. He's funny. Don't believe me? Ask Kanye West or Chrissy Teigen, both of them follow Dylan on Twitter. If he's good enough for Kanye and Chrissy to get a good laugh, then you best hop aboard the Dylan follow train. 

So let's get to know how Dylan got to where he is now, some of his tweets that rose to fame, and much more. 

I give to you................ Dylan Farella!

Tell me about you:

DF: My name is Dylan Farella, I’m from Long Island, New York. Grew up outside the city in suburbia, went to The University of Arizona in Tucson then Baruch in Manhattan for undergrad. Went back to the west coast and lived in Los Angeles for a couple of years before returning to New York.

What do you do for work? Do you work in the content creating world?

DF: By day I work for a media agency that specializes in the automotive industry, working on creative digital solutions for businesses that, until recently, had heavily advertised most heavily in traditional marketing. By night I’m a writer and curator. I’ve always had business in the content creating and copywriting world from one angle or another.

 Do you have a tweet or insta post in mind that really started it all for you?  

DF: My twitter account has been more of a slowly building snowball, and there’s been plenty of moments since 2012 that have packed on. In the past year, however, this was the first tweet that I really noticed make its way to Instagram and all over the internet. https://twitter.com/dfarella/status/1049818294935531525

What’s been one of your favorite tweets you’ve created?

DF: Hard to chose. Twitter is just a space to broadcast thoughts, but when it comes to creative writing there are times I’m happier with what I’d tweeted. I’d say this is a good example: https://twitter.com/dfarella/status/1128262310252953600

You have some pretty big names followers on Twitter- you have to have a favorite?

DF: No favorites. I love each one of my followers all the same.

When you tweet do you think like oh I wonder if Kanye or Chrissy will think this is funny?

DF: "LOL." I actually don’t think about any specific followers when I’m tweeting, but now that you mention it... I wonder!

If you could work for any big social media empire such as Betches or Buzzfeed or somewhere else which would it be and why?

DF: I couldn’t answer that without knowing more about the culture at some of these companies. If I had to chose a social media-focused company to join, it would come down to the people, culture, challenges and opportunities I’d working with. I’m definitely a big fan of Betches and Buzzfeed though - some talented people out there!

If you could have anyone in the world follow you which would it be?

DF: John Mayer or Lindsay Lohan.

How do you come up with your content? It’s pretty hilarious.

DF: I don’t let many thoughts leave my mind without writing them down, then writing then down again, then again and again. I’ve always lived by my wits and I enjoy being silly while sharp. Perfect storm for Twitter, apparently.

What’s a fun fact some people might not know about you?

DF: I’m a super competitive racquetball player.

If you could have dinner with three people who would they be and why?

DF: Aziz Ansari, Chris Rock, and Seth Rogen. For the entertainment value, I’d imagine it would make for the funniest dinner and most memorable conversation.

And finally, who is your celebrity crush?

DF: Right now it’s Sophie Turner. Emily Ratajkowski will always be number one though.
