India love
India Love is born in February in the year 1996. She is the 6 of 7 children. And she is from Compton, California. Her fame came when she started doing Tumblr. Gen Alpha may think that Instagram was the first website when it comes to influencers showcasing themselves. But before that there were platforms like Tumblr and even Myspace. And Tumblr had a really cool gap where people would express who they were by posting cool clothes of themselves or posting inspiring quotes or their favorite fashion. For example, for us we would use it to post our favorite clothes by celebrities.
And in her early teens when she was becoming famous when it came to her Tumblr pictures. There were so many accounts being created at that time. There were so many fake pages. When it came to Facebook stories or Wattpad stories, people would even use her pictures to use her as a character in their stories. Or they would catfish on Facebook, pretending to be her. What she went through the time that she was starting out in her influencer era was a lot to deal with at a young age. And this was someone who started out posting just pictures of herself. And wasn’t trying to be famous.
And gradually she was able to develop fame from all of her posting. Her fashion sense and also the way that she would post pictures would work out really well for her. And that’s what made her stand out among the crowd. At this time she was being seen with famous people like the OMG Girlz and even Kylie Jenner and Mindless Behavior. She is a millennial, and in our opinion, she lived through the golden time of her teenage life. She became a teenager at the right time. In her Tumblr era she was seen in a relationship. And this was the first time she was exposing herself to the public when it came to who she was in a relationship with.
And when the public sees that you’re posting this person and then you’re not, and then they see you with other people. They ask what happened, and then they make their own assumption. She was then seen with the game, and that relationship was controversial because of the age difference and how young she was. She had already made a name for herself when it came to the music industry. However , that relationship kind of messed up her brand a little bit because of the controversies that were happening back-to-back.
At this time she was being featured with different brands. And working with different brands and companies. And she began making money at a very young age. Something that many people her age never experienced. Her family got a reality TV show called The Westbrooks. And it featured her siblings and sometimes her brothers on the show. And it showed the family dynamics and who they are. People wanted to get to know more about the family. The show only got one season, but the sister said that they want to come back.
This website is a music blog. And you’re probably thinking, why would I feature India Love? But she had a music career for a short amount of time. And we wanted to talk about that. She released songs like Loco. And the songs she’s rapping. People didn’t understand why she would pursue a career in music. Because when people thought about India Love, they thought about the fact that she is an influencer and model. Who became popular through Tumblr, and some people felt like she was ruining her brand when it came to it.
She released another song called Talk Yo Shit. At this time she was doing different things like event appearances , makeup modelling, and brand collabs. She was opening herself wide. To make sure that the India Love brand would expand. The songs didn’t achieve mainstream success. However , when it comes to the fact that she was able to try something new and out of her comfort zone,. So that she can diversify herself more as a brand was good. Some people feel like because a lot of influencers have the following, that is why they want to pursue it and not for the passion.
And that can be true when it comes to it. What India Love is good at is personal brand development; she looked at what works and sticks to it. She did well when it came to building a following on Tumblr, and when Tumblr lost its spark, she went to Instagram, and she was able to bring her audience there and keep up. There are people who don’t really know how to keep up with it. And they get it wrong. Learning to adapt can be hard when it comes to it.
She has also released a song called Pretty, released in 2019. India loves it when it comes to the influence. She doesn’t get credit for it. Her music career, even though she didn’t do it for long. She showed people that she is not afraid to take risks. There are some people that would want to do acting. And they may pursue acting lessons to see if they can pursue it as a career. But then they realize that is a lot more work, and then they don’t want to pursue it anymore. Music is a lot of work. There is a lot that you have to do.
Influencing is also a lot of work. However , you have to keep up with your audience and make sure that they are happy and satisfied with what they have. When it comes to India, will she be releasing more music in the future? Is that something that she would want to pursue as a career? Maybe in the future she might want to do it as a career because she is passionate about it. And she lives in California, where she can meet with people who work with that can help her when it comes to her brand. She could find her sound and evolve.
