Concerning his professional career, the Backpack Kid started uploading short videos and photos on Instagram in 2016. His audience grew bigger every day, and at one point Rihanna accidentally saw one of his videos, and shared it on her own account, which resulted in a boost of Kid’s followers. Afterwards, he was invited by USA Today, to give an interview, which has also resulted in another huge boost of followers – to give one example, Backpack Kid gained more than 55,000 followers in two days. What is more, Katy Perry saw him on Instagram, and invited him to perform together with her in “Saturday Night Live”; they appeared in the “Swish Swish” performance in which Kid showed his signature dance move called “The Russell”. This led to another wave of followers, so that at the end of 2017, he has accumulated over 1.2 million followers.
In addition, Backpack Kid appeared in the music videos “Hip Hopper” by Black Youngsta as well as “Rolex” by Ayo & Teo. In his own videos, Russell collaborates with other dancers, including Benny Imprint and Mateo Bowles.
