Distractify sat down with the jack-of-all-trades to discuss some of the “distractions” he can’t live without, and more!

If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be?

CB: Something that symbolizes New York. I'm in love with New York, and it's always been my goal and a dream to move here. I've been here for five years now.

If you couldn't be an influencer, what would your dream job be?

CB: If I couldn't be an influencer, I'd still be doing a show. I would want to go the path that Ryan Seacrest went. I would love to host a late-night show. I would love to be in that realm.

What’s the best fan interaction you’ve ever had?

CB: I walked into this run-down in New Orleans, and a lady approached me at the jewelry thing. And she said, “Oh my God, I know who you are.” And my fiancee was in defense mode, and she was like, “Excuse me, how do you know him?” and she goes, “From the videos.” Still to this day, I mess with her about I'm like, “Remember when you got stank with that one girl that was trying to take a picture with me?” And she goes, “Yeah, just don't talk about that time.”

Tell us about the best meal you've ever had/favorite food.

CB: I just had butter chicken last night. I love butter chicken with garlic naan.

What's your dream collaboration?

CB: I saw someone collaborating with Cindy Crawford, and I don't know if that's a dream for me, but I got jealous. I was like, “Cindy Crawford is doing videos with, like, influencers?” A part of me is like, I want to do a video with Cindy Crawford just because someone else did it.

Tell us about the first concert you ever attended.

CB: The first concert I ever went to was actually a Christian concert called Amberlynn. And it was Janice Landing in St. Petersburg, Fla. I didn't go to a concert until I was in high school. I was 14 or 15 [years old]. And there was a mosh pit for a Christian band, and I was freaked out. I didn’t want to get punched in the face praising the Lord!

Who’s your celebrity crush?

Share your top three desert-island necessities.

CB: An iPod loaded with music, sunscreen because I don’t want to get burned, and some Bang cookies.

What’s your No. 1 distraction?

CB: My son. And not in a bad way, but in a good way. My son distracts me away from my phone and social media. It's a positive distraction.
