When and why did you decide to start your own Youtube channel?
Is Youtube something you hope to turn into a career one day?
EP: I started my mess of a channel on June 10, 2013. I started it because I really think at this point it was meant to be. I’ve always been into watching Youtube videos, until one day I realized I had all the resources to start a channel for myself (an overpriced camera, a white wall in my bedroom, and a group of dear friends to help me along the way).
EP: My main career aspirations/goals are to be an Olsen twin, to be a wedding singer, and to brush Karl Lagerfeld’s teeth professionally. (I’m half kidding) I would love to do some things with Youtube, but the original plan has always been to be a dancer, I’m really into that.
How would you describe your channel in only five words? EP: Mess x5. I really don’t have much to say about my channel other than my fact that it’s a real mess, and I’m kind of cool with that.

You’ve mentioned before that you like to dance, when and how did you start dancing? EP: Dance and I are pretty good friends, I started on February 11th, 1997 (which is also my birthday). I ask myself all the time how I started dancing, but it’s just another one of those things that was meant to be.
