Continue the Social PushAs previously stated, this particular musician is a social media genius and he incorporates his physical life into his social media life. He doesn’t seem to let social media control his life, instead he blends the two perfectly.

At every concert, he takes a picture with his audience and posts it on his Facebook Page so they can “tag” themselves in it

Tyler Ward is an example of what hard work and dedication looks like. I hope he gets more recognition than he already has because I truly believe he deserves it. Not only is he very talented but he takes the time to connect with his fans, which is something more celebrities lose touch with. He will always be a success in my mind because of how he handles himself and lets his fans into his heart and also into his little mishaps ;)
