Crep: From earning a degree and master's in Biomedical science to gaining a huge social media following from your engaging science-based content, we know this didn’t happen overnight! What was the motivation behind all of this?
Big Manny: Yeah, so the motivation for me behind creating the science video actually came from lockdown. During lockdown, the kids were missing out on bare science lessons and that, and science is a subject where you need to do experiments in order to gain a full understanding of what’s going on. So I started doing the videos to help the kids catch up with what they missed out on because it’s a mad ting!

Crep: With scientific content being such a niche in the market, how do you keep your audience engaged with the content you put out?
Big Manny: I’ll be real, to keep my audience engaged, I try to keep my content as relatable as possible. When I am explaining the science behind things I keep it simple, you know what I am saying. So if you don’t have a scientific background you’ll still know wagwarn.
Crep: At Crep, we know one of the most important things to many sneakerheads is making sure that they have an affordable selection of cleaning products in their rotation. What would you say is your favourite product from our collection and why?
Big Manny: Alright cool, so my favourite Crep Protect product yeah, I’m not going to lie it has to been the spray init. As soon as I buy new trainers, I spray with the Crep Protect straight away because I want to keep it fresh. My second favourite has to be the wipes, I love it bruv.

Crep: What advice would you give to younger individuals who want to create their own presence in the content creation field?
Big Manny: My advice to the youths that do content creation is any content you are creating, make sure that is going to benefit people in some way. When they finish watching that video, they should walk away from that video a better person.
