Tay Zonday's Tips for YouTube Success

Tay Zonday found success back in 2007 when he decided to experiment on a new video sharing platform called YouTube. His song "Chocolate Rain" became one of the earliest viral hits on the site, and remains among the top videos ever with more than 96 million views.

But don't rush to call him a one-hit wonder. His YouTube channel currently boasts more than 830,000 subscribers, and his "greatest hits" playlists does not have a single video with less than 1 million views.

YouTube success aside, Zonday still struggles to figure out how his talents will translate off your computer screen. "Maybe myself and the world are still figuring out what to do with that uniqueness," he says in an interview with Mashable's Lamarr Wilson. "While I am widely known, widely recognized, [I'm] still looking for the perfect role for that young looking dude with a deep voice."
