We are privileged enough to Interview Gil Croes! Hi Gil and Welcome to Hear Up!
Q: What was it like growing up in Aruba?
A: Grateful! in one word, growing up in Aruba we have the privilege to learn 4 languages , Papiamento(local) , Dutch, English and
Spanish. Also being surrounded by beaches with beautiful white sand, I can proudly say that we live on a paradise. I have amazing family as well , one thing I would say that impacted my life is when my dad lost his job when I was 12… that alone changed everything , I went from being spoiled to survival mode fearing one day we might lose everything. That event shifted my whole life, I
wasn’t interested anymore in finishing a higher education because my Dad did and he lost his job so I decided to pursue my dream on becoming
an entrepreneur. little do I know I was about to become world famous on an app lol.
Q: Who or what inspires you to create content?
A: Well I was always the clown of the class, I like making people laugh.. but I first started making motivational videos ..I was inspired by Tony Robbin and Jim Rohn then I shifted in making comedy Jim Carrey inspired me because he was so
explosive and extra in everything he does. And knowing that I want to become world famous ,, speaking English fluently as comedian was hard but doing facial expressions came naturally. other inspirations ,,MrBean.
Q: Which Tik Tok Creators would you like to collaborate with?
A: ZachKing would be dope. but I love collaborating with anyone. doesn’t matter the amount of followers you have, if I like your creativity and your vibe we good to go!
