The COVID-19 lockdown allowed all-round entertainer Steven Lim to pivot into an Instagram sensation – and he's making big bucks off it.

And people can’t get enough of it. Steven told Yahoo Lifestyle SEA that he has made over 350 such videos for customers since 10 April, the same week that schools and most workplaces were closed upon government orders.

Although the government has relaxed lockdown rules and now allows people to dine outside and visit each other at home, Steven, 43, is still managing a roaring business. According to one of Steven’s Instagram posts, the unique service was launched when a fan reached out to him to do a birthday video for their friend as they couldn’t celebrate it with him during the lockdown restrictions.

We really didn’t understand why he imitates the sound that chickens make in all his videos, so we asked him about it. “The intention is to make it fun and interesting,” he said. “I realised I have the talents to do many animal sounds. I have fond memories of me doing animal sounds and animal actions for fun while playing with my younger brothers when we were very young.”

Steven’s video shoutout service is part of a growing trend in which people pay celebrities, influencers and popular personalities to record personalised video messages as gifts for friends and family.
