The advent of digital technology and the rise of online-based platforms have opened a world of opportunities for people from all walks of life. Today, success is no longer exclusive to people born to a silver platter or those who grew up with a wealth of privileges and supported by an extensive network of connections. Suave Xavier Pegues, a Youtuber and social media personality known for his celebrity impersonations, short comedy skits, and prank videos, is among the rising figures in the entertainment industry whose story demonstrates that go-getters now have a shot at translating their dreams into reality despite coming from humble beginnings.
The pride of a small town in North Carolina, Suave Xavier Pegues knows the realities that hundreds of millions of individuals from across the globe share. But highly fueled by the vision of a future where he could take care of his family and friends, he is currently going all-out in establishing his name in an industry known for its cutthroat and saturated nature and making the most of every opportunity given his way.
This criminology graduate from the University of North Carolina Wilmington managed to reach great heights and capture the interest of countless users when he made the strategic decision to harness the power and reach of social media during the outbreak of COVID-19.
“During the pandemic, I joined TikTok and started producing content that, little did I know, would change my life,” shared Suave Xavier Pegues. His standing as one of the platform’s most impressive impersonators solidified even further when he began making voice impressions of Kevin Hart.
“The story of how I began to talk like Kevin Hart came from choking on a Taki chip,” Suave Xavier Pegues amusedly recalled. “I was watching TV and choked on the chip, so I ran to the bathroom to cough it out and sounded exactly like Kevin. Ever since that moment, I’ve been able to impersonate his voice and entertain my online audience.”
While Suave Xavier Pegues had been rapidly racking up followers by then, it was when one of his prank calls went viral that he rose to more considerable prominence. Not only did he break the Internet and pique the interest of Dwayne Johnson, who posted his video on his social media accounts, but the TikTok star also caught the attention of the producers of The Ellen Show.
Suave Xavier Pegues boasts a whopping 11.5 million followers right now on TikTok, with his videos garnering an accumulated 224 million likes. Just recently, he graced Fox News NYC and had people in fits and giggles over a trending video of his dog that has been viewed over 106 million times.
In the years to come, Suave Xavier Pegues hopes to secure a coveted spot in the limelight and emerge as a big-time movie actor, TV host, and comedian. On top of having the chance to do what he’s most passionate about, he aims to gain a more impactful platform where he could make people laugh and educate them at the same time.
