The performer, who describes himself as a lover of music, dance and theatre added that he was inspired to make videos that helped people feel good. He said: "Social media can become such a grey, overwhelming and kind of defeating platform just because it's seen as everybody’s highlight reel and it's like everybody’s living their best lives, and that can kind of make us question our purpose from time to time. So I guess I make these videos because I just like making people feel good."

Dontè, who divides his time between content making and working as an inventory associate for a womenswear brand, said the process for making his motivational dance videos was "simple."

He said: "I kind of just throw on a track, it could be Beyoncè, it could be some elevator music, it kind of depends on what i’m feeling and then from there I will probably record like three different ways of movement."

"I will do like a draft, a good copy and then a final copy and then [...] I will just upload it into Premiere Pro and After Effects and load it up with whatever message I feel that video kind of tells," said Dontè.

He added: "At the end of the day the point is just have fun, not take it too seriously and just literally go off."

He said: "It makes it feel worth doing, and that’s all I could ever ask for. To make people feel better especially because we all go through lows in our lives and we all have our own struggles that we deal with on a day to day, so just being able to bring some light or joy to somebody, it makes it feel worth doing. It definitely recharges me and motivates me more to keep going."

And this motivational performer has no plans on stopping anytime soon.

He told BuzzFeed News: "I don’t think I will ever stop making videos just because that to me is kind of like a creative outlet and it’s just something fun that I can do on the side so I don’t think I could stop because I’ve been doing for so long."
