From Germany to NYC: HOW I BECAME A PROFESSIONAL BLOGGER || (motivational part at the end)

[@chuchiher7418]

I would have never guessed that you were from germany and are an immigrant. How inspiring! Keep doing what you do!

[@ShahrozA]

Lots of LOVE man. You're an inspiration for so many people wanting to start their own thing. I have goosebumps watching your video right now - never been able to relate to someone so much! Keep shining brother! Lots of prayers coming your way. God bless Marcel

[@keigisa]

I died with the UG BOOT photo haha you've definitely come along way. Never forget your humble beginnings everyone xx

[@villegas24]

You have so much energy and positivity. Keep it up bro.

[@estebanbrjs]

You couldn't have given a more precise description of my earlier years from 1:09 - 1:27 hahaha! Love what you do and love how down to earth you are! You definitely motivate me both through IG and here. You are goals Marcel!!!

[@hovu3146]

[@JuliaLebedenko]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and positivity! I've been living in NYC for 2 years, and there are a lot of things that don't work out as well as I want them to, but you kinda cheered me up! Wanna work even harder to make all my dreams come true. Thank you and the best of luck to you!!!

[@onedapperstreet]

that's so amazing, thank you for sharing!! keep at it and follow your heart!! the only way to true happiness :)

[@CalebAdams]

Hey man, I absolutely love your channel and mostly because of the person you are.You seem like a very genuine, determined, but yet kind guy. You are a huge inspiration to me! Ever since I was 14 I have been passionate about fashion and really really can't see myself being happy if I'm not doing it for living. But I never really hard hard pursued because of what you said, its a hard industry to get in and most people don't take it as a "serious" career, and I've been looked at by my friends as the guy "most likely to succeed" and so I put a lot of pressure on myself. So instead the past few years I've been learning, working in digital marketing which is cool, and I find it interesting and fun, but nothing brings me as much joy as fashion and it wasn't until very recently where I admitted it to myself, and again like you said with acting, it was hidden in a way even though I knew deep down thats what I love and want. And once I admitted to myself that fashion is what I want to do, I finally decided to take action and pursue my passion in fashion starting out withKZbin. Watching this video and just your channel just really inspires me and gives me even more drive man, you may not realize how much of an impact you make but you have definitely impacted me man! Much love bro

[@AnastasiaRyabova]

Thank you so much for that video. First of all, it really was interesting to get to know your story. Secondly, I have some dreams, which are pretty hard to get, but your words have motivated me a lot. Sometimes you just get this kind of lack of motivation and positive thoughts in your mind, and it all drives you crazy in a bad way. Thank you a lot again. I really wich you all luck and I'm so damn glad to see you, guys, are happy together!

[@onedapperstreet]

aw

[@trungchinhnguyen1285]

It’s such an influential video. I don’t know why but I feel like you’ve been through a lot of things to be who you are. I’ve just known you through Instagram nearly time and you are becoming my role model. Please keep going this way and you will achieve success in KZbin as well.

[@RoLohan100]

Felt the same growing up in the Netherland, moved to Berlin a few years back. I really liked this video. Its good to have a reminder to always follow your dreams.

[@luciferfurious6993]

First of all i want to wish you a very happy new year even it's too late. Your struggle in life inspire us and one thing you taught us that everyone can achieve their dreams if we have a perfect visualisation. You are the most humble,honest person i ever seen in youtube ❤️❤️.

[@ПолинаШестакова-е1ч]

You're so positive and inspiring! Always glad to watch your videos:)

[@JordyChandra]

Keep inspiring!! 😄😄 Hope u can reach all your dream & live good life!

[@anjaaaaav]

Marcel, I guess u can't even fully understand how grateful I am right now! Your video kept me going besides all the struggles that I face. I'm from Moscow and two days ago I applied for a program at University of Vienna. It's been long 1.5 months making sure that all the docs are ready. I am very scared right now, but it's my dream and I just go for it. Thank u so much for telling your own story. It helps a lot and makes me feel that I'm not alone on this journey

[@onedapperstreet]

Hi Anna! I read this comment as soon as you posted it and it filled me with joy! I'm sorry I'm just getting back to you now, but I'm very happy that the video helped you, and I wish you the best of luck!! Do you know by now whether you got in or not???

[@howiequ9211]

Kind of late to the party but as someone who has an F1 Visa and have hopes to stay in the U.S, this video resonated in such an amazing way. Thank you for bringing fashion and your personality into my daily life.

[@adityaaldar2897]

It was such a good talk. You words somehow are appealing to touch inner self of oneself . 🌷

[@NotVinnyy]

Wow... This was really helpful. I was stuck in a difficult position for the longest time, but after seeing this, I really want to try and follow my goals/dreams! Thank you!! 😊 I’m glad I came across your channel today!

I love this man so much (no homo lmao). This was so damn motivational! You are living evidence that literally anything is possible no matter who you are. I'm so happy ur dreams came true and you hustled through everything man. Thank you for your story and the motivation :)

[@nadim2911]

Ruined the comment with ‘no homo’. Loving someone or something isn't sexual. That's like saying, no homo after saying, I love you to your dad.

[@steffywhoelse]

Been following you and Lisa since lookbook was still a thing. So good to see how far you've come.

[@onedapperstreet]

awwww you're the best .. stefany pham. i feel like i've read your name a hundred times haha. thanks for still being around

Thank You. Very inspirational video. Congratulations on all your success.

[@onedapperstreet]

thank you sir :)

[@retroazul]

Marcel please keep going like this you are an inspiration for me because i want to become a fashion blogger . My story is very similar to your story i didn't have friends in my teen years i was always the strange kid that has always a different style from others and that didn't smoke or drink like them. But now i realized that my difference from other people is important and that i love it.

[@mohamed33barry55]

Yeah remember seeing you on Lookbook in like 2015 feel like all the bloggers from there are the ones who capitalized most with Instagram dope seeing how u progressed

[@vitalinadombrovska5714]

That is so awesome and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing

[@anikali9161]

It's good you say that VERBALLY- as soon as you pronounce your dreams aloud as faster they going to be real life ! All good luck at being actor ! I'm also from other country but moved to USA. So know what you talking about fears and hard deal to left mom and everything you love behind... but we are building OUR life and it's ok. All is going to be OK. 🙂👌🏻

[@onedapperstreet]

agree 100%, speak your dreams and make them come true :) that's awesome, keep being happy and spreading love :)

[@ktroopa]

[@fangbifxx]

Thank you so much for sharing your personal story.

[@genericperson7266]

Love the content brother. You are actually one of the big inspirations for me hoping to start my own blog. Keep it up man 👍🏻

[@onedapperstreet]

hell yeah, love hearing that!! do your thing man :)

[@JustJosiAcevedo]

you are such an amazing inspiration!!!!

[@advancedphotonics9431]

I would say this is the most thouching video i have seen among ur other videos. Keep it up.. all the best.. keep pushing for more

[@jooawn]

Do a video on FIT! I'm currently looking to transfer soon and it's one of the schools I'd like to consider :)

[@scentstyle8928]

Cool man, you have a super pleasant and genuine vibe. Keep doing what you’re doing 🙌

[@pratiktiwari5689]

the way you explained it injected tonnes of confidence into myself. thanks thanks alot!

[@mapae419]

Love the thumbnail picture so 😂. I love your story don't forget your roots. It's so cool that you dance can you dance still? I love psychology. You should do more dapper confessions. And I'm glad you're more confident I think art brings out the extrovert personality out of people so I'm glad you're doing great. And keep at it your dream as an actor I hope to see on the big screen and you can do it

[@Mikey-lv9zn]

Thank you very much for sharing. Positive energy during the whole video ✨

[@katichirkova6908]

Danke für deine Story, Marcel! Ich habe mich echt gewundert, als ich erfahren habe, dass du eigentlich aus Deutschland kommst 😱 ich hätte eine Frage zu deinem Englisch, wie hast du es geschafft, die Sprache so fließend und akzentfrei zu beherrschen? 😍Bewundernswert! 👏🏻 Ach ja, tanzt du jetzt immer noch? Wenn ja, dann würden sich bestimmt viele über deine Tanzvideos freuen 🕺🏻 ich bin selber auch Tänzerin :)

[@onedapperstreet]

danke meine liebe :) ganz ehrlich, seitdem ich 14 war hab ich Serien auf Englisch angeschaut. .. fresh prince of belair, king of queens... das ganze mit untertitel, was mir viel mit dem vokabular aber primär mit der amerikanischen aussprache geholfen hat :) langsam wird's bisschen schwieriug mit dem deutsch dafür hahaha ... ja ich tanze noch, da kommen hoffentlich ganz bald auch noch paar neue videos ;)

[@gabemccarthy3341]

keep doing you bro you're killin it

[@ahadr7763]

Hey Marcel, very inspiring and more power to you! It’s got me thinking about fashion blogging and would be great to get some tips from you

[@jommiejr.libres3826]

I needed this motivation right now. Thanks.

[@tommorbey3340]

You're producing such good content!! Awesome story!

[@AlexanderSchnoor]

Marcel, what's up. i once met you and Marvin at the Gibson in Frankfurt and afterwards i was amazed when i looked you guys up in the internet. Yeah, just keep following doing what you do.

[@onedapperstreet]

thanks brother! man that was a hazy night, i missed my flight the next day haha, glad you like my work though man!!

[@evijuniarsah6486]

Inspired. I do love your journey in reaching your dreams.

[@wo.le.4243]

Hey, ich freu mich Deine Videos auf KZbin gefunden zu haben, Du machst mir Mut und inspirierst mich auch etwas "verrücktest" in meinen jungen Jahren zu machen. Danke vielmals ;)

[@onedapperstreet]

freut mich sehr!! na dann mal los ;)

[@radu3089]

Thank you, Marcel! This was very inspiring!

[@JonCintron]

Hey man I just subscribed to your channel this is one of the most motivating video I seen so far in my eyes. My dream is to become a famous filmmaker/photographer. I have so many fears and doubt but as you said you have to believe in yourself and follow thru and I'm going to!!!!

[@johnyeon5323]

The outfit in the thumbnail is amazing!! Can you share where you bought the blazer and the sweater? Awesome outfiy as always. Thank you!

[@windsurfmaui8239]

Well Marcel if no one else has already said it let me say welcome to America. Although I thought you were from France because of your name and because I do not hear a German accent in your voice. I find your KZbin website to be interesting and helpful in dressing to express my own emotions. Growing up I was taught to never pay retail because that way you could stretch your dollars and acquire more clothes. So I used to play a game that I would dress in an interesting way but all of the items I wore had to add up to have cost me less than $100. As my tastes changed it became more and more difficult to accomplish this but then with the invention of the internet and online shopping I was able to acquire some items very cheaply and continues the game. Maybe once in awhile you can do a video playing that game for young people who are just starting out and don't have a lot of money for clothes. Good luck with your acting career.

[@ashleylooksfab]

Thanks for sharing. Yes life is a series of risk taking and fun having. Follow your heart and enjoy life as much as possible. You'll eventually get to where you want to be if you persist and follow your heart :)

[@emmanuelomondi1367]

I LOVE YOUR STORY

[@MechanismBasics]

Well played mate! I've done F-1, J-1, H1-B, green card and now citizenship. It is indeed a leap of faith but talent helps and the US rewards talent. Great to see you flourish here.

[@Quest2GreatnessPodcast]

Awesome vid! Love the insight

[@eissaalshemali6881]

you are so inspiring!! keep it up,hope to have a future in fashion too!

[@rakagilang4758]

i'm always wondering when will you make video like this but it's happened! 😂😂 i've been following your instagram and all of your work since i was in highschool (2014 i guess) and what you're doing is really what i'm dreaming of since highschool. working in fashion industry, being able to have your own brand, and etc. after watching this my eyes are open by the fact that in my country there is still lots of hope to becoming a fashion blogger / enthusiast and live from that! thanks by the way for making this video ✌✌✌🙏🙏🙏

[@onedapperstreet]

ahhhh that's so awesome :) sorry i'm so late with responding to this, but I appreciate you watching, following, supporting... i couldn't do what i do without guys like you so THANK YOU!

[@TheXx1nfinityxX]

You deserve more than 40k subs that's why i subscribed :)

[@MrFersitos]

So nice words, You are an excellent guy, you will get your greencard, you'll be acting soon!! Blessings!!

[@juanignaciosegovia847]

Hi Marcel, just wanted to ask if you have any insight about the Global Fashion Management program from FIT. I have a bachelor's degree in economics and was currently interested in doing a master in finance in the US (I'm from Argentina), but your video got me thinking... I love business, but every day I'm more passionate about fashion so maybe I should start looking into different options. Thanks!

[@onedapperstreet]

i had consideredthat program for quite a while, but then my blog took off so I decided against a masters. i think it would be an excellent program, providing you with a great network.. if you know you wanna go into fashion aftewards, it should be a solid contender in your decision making process i believe :)

[@prashalibhuriya7086]

This is ultimate super motivational video .. thank you so much for sharing 😢😢😢😢

[@onedapperstreet]

thank you!! that's so good to hear :)

[@harishbeniwal7]

Hugeee fan bro🙌❣You are amazing

[@nas3enka]

Have the same problem with lack of confidence. I just don't understand, there are so many people who reach their goals, but I am an ordinary person without a perfect body or face or huge talent. I know there is no point to talk about or complain, it is better to start doing something, but these thoughts put one giant obstacle. Wish to meet and talk to you one day!

[@onedapperstreet]

who's perfect though?! it's not about talent, it's about what you love to do! you are you, and you're not an obstacle, you're an advantage! why? because there's only one of you.. start loving yourself, follow your heart, and let yourself be happy :) I didn't decide to be happy, and that's why I changed. I did what I loved, and that *made me* change !!

[@thebhandariway]

Ahhh you have such a positive energy.

[@nicoletagusac1828]

Pleasee Marcel make a video about the good and bad parts of FIT. great video btw

[@onedapperstreet]

coming, have a few things in the cue but it's definitely on my list!

[@mehdifolt3095]

thank you so much for the content brother !!!!

[@onedapperstreet]

Marcel, where is the vlog you said about FIT? It would be really helpful

[@SandeepSharma-sr4rj]

Great vlog man! BTW, what are the music in background?

[@SebastianGarcia-tv7de]

What's up Marcel, just wanted to let you know that you are a big role model to me, and I wish I could meet you when you come back to New York

[@harryc266]

Sebastian Garcia he won't reply he never does he won't even acknowledges fans it's sad

[@rakagilang4758]

ZigSteenine right before his youtube chanel becoming famous he did replying their fans tho.

[@jayaprakashvakati6062]

Atleast he had something, theree jaise bukkad nahi hey

[@brightstar4498]

Say it in English!

[@onedapperstreet]

damn .. i'm trying to reply to comments individually but i guess that's not working ... soooo here's a general response: @sebastian: thanks man!! let me know when you're here, I wanna do fan meet ups more and more often :) @raka: sorry i'm a tad late to this lol. i respond to 98% of my DMs on instagram. if you think i don't care you're mistaken! I admit I've been bad on youtube, but that's why i've been sitting at my computer now for 4 hours getting back to comments, a majority of which I read when I get them. @Lucian: agreed hahaha

[@AnastasiaMinyard]

You're such an amazing person💙
