Born Nik Keswani, BigNik first gained fame on Vine, where his unique brand of comedy earned him over 2 million followers. He has since expanded his social media presence, accumulating over 950,000 subscribers on YouTube and more than 800,000 followers on Instagram. As a rapper, he has released tracks like "No Cap" and "I Don't Wanna Live." BigNik began recording Vines to pass the time and distract himself while he was wheelchair-bound for six months due to a painful leg surgery. In May 2014, he collaborated on a video with fellow Vine stars Brent Rivera and Jake Paul. His work has been featured in People Magazine, LA Times, Vogue, and MTV News, and he won an award at the Social Slam Selfie Event.
