We had the good fortune of connecting with Preice Anderson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Preice, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
Born and raised in Miami Florida, I grew up with 3 brothers and 1 sister. I always thought of myself as the funny sibling because I was the one everyone could count on for a laugh. Growing up I found myself not only making my family laugh at my jokes and the funny things I did, I could also put a smile on my friends and community’s face as well. So I knew right then and there I wanted to be on TV and make the world laugh. I wanted to move to California to become an actor because I was always told that’s where your dreams come true, but being as my mom was a single parent raising my siblings and I by herself it seemed impossible for me to get there. So in 2009, I decided to start a YouTube channel called Preice23 and share funny content. Then years later in 2020, my good friend told me about this app called TikTok and I quickly became the “Hoyea Guy!” The videos I posted were getting hundreds then thousands and now even millions of views. One of the best parts is the loving comments I receive from my viewers like “thank you for bringing joy and laughter to my family.” It feels so surreal going from the jokester growing up to entertaining 1.5 million followers and people across the world. I know I didn’t make it to Hollywood yet, but I’m getting very close!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Well, I’m a social media influencer or a content creator, regardless of what people want to call it. I create content on all platforms such as Tiktok, YouTube, Facebook, Likee & Instagram. I think the thing that sets me apart is that I’m the same person on and off camera. I’m this silly, funny, funny guy that people know and love. I always remain faithful to myself, whatever I do. I got to where I am today by being funny and entertaining. I used to do it off-camera for my family and friends. Now I’m making it on camera so the world can see it. It was not easy getting to where I am today. Make content for the whole world and try to entertain and make them laugh. Manage all my social media accounts ensuring I remain constant in order to continue to grow. It’s never easy, but I know this is what I enjoy doing. So I’ve learned some valuable lessons. Take it day after day and be faithful to yourself and as long as you have God by your side, you can do anything. I named my social media accounts preice23 because I want the world to know about who I am. So whenever they hear or see that name, they know who it is and what it represents.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend came and saw me for a week in Florida. I’d take them to Orlando and we’d go to the amusement parks and go crazy on the rollercoaster. Once we have left the theme park well go to International Drive and go to the upside down house. Then we’ll go to Ripley’s, believe it or not, and then we’ll go on a helicopter ride. Then later tonight, we’ll go into town and we’ll go to Senor Frogs. The following day we go to Miami and go to South Beach to jet ski and relax. Then, to finish the week, we will go to Fort Myers for minigolf.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First off I want to thank God for giving me the talent to be funny and make people laugh. I want to thank my mother for her belief in me all the time. I want to commend my good friend Watlowbaby for always pushing me to carry on. Thank you to Gage and Matt who introduced me to Tiktok. Kudos to my friends and family for the love and support they show me on a daily basis. Lastly, I want to commend Dayna and Marla, the innovative artists, for all they do for me.
