As a Dancer

Nicolette Durazzo on YouTube
According to Nicolette, when she was seven or eight years old, or even younger, she made her first appearance on social media in one of Brent Rivera’s YouTube videos. It is likely the video titled ‘Little Kids Now-a-days | Brent Rivera’, which was originally posted on June 20, 2015, and since has accumulated over 12 million total views.
In the ensuing months, Brent developed a video series around the subject, and Nicolette starred alongside him in each of these videos. The premise of the series is that Brent babysits Nicolette when his uncle and aunt (Nicolette’s parents) are not around and notices how her childhood is completely different from his childhood, especially due to technology.

Nicolette’s self-titled YouTube channel was set up on July 27, 2017. The first video there, titled ‘Welcome to my Channel! | Nicolette Durazzo’, was posted July 27, 2017. In it, she clarified her reasons for starting the channel, stating “you (her audience) might have seen me on social media, on Instagram, Snapchat, or Musical.ly, or even on YouTube. I’ve been in my cousin’s (Brent) channel many times… and I love shooting them (YouTube videos). And a lot of people tell me to make my own channel, so I thought it would be fun to make my own channel.
Since then, her channel has grown exponentially and currently boasts over 60 thousand subscribers and more than a million total views. She predominantly makes vlogs, DIY, storytime, and challenge videos. Some of the most-watched uploads on her channel are ‘NICA’S HOUSE TOUR’, ‘WHY I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL’, and ‘I TRY ASMR’.
