A Career in TikTok

Griggs began creating TikTok videos around the end of the 2019 summer after injuring his ACL while competing in a track race. He was utterly shattered by the injury that even strained his enthusiasm in all his hobbies. He then directed his appearance on TikTok to neutralize the darkness shed by his injuries. In fact, his friend introduced him to TikTok, and they started releasing the videos together. 

His first viral TikTok video was of him dancing on his truck with the water sprinklers turned on. The video has garnered over 5.5 million views as of September 2021. With this, he became a prominent personality in TikTok. His popularity soared high to the extent that it caused problems at his school. "People were like taking videos of me in the hallway and stuff like that," Griggs told Tom Ward in 2020.  

Adding more to the context, TalentX Entertainment, a TikTok talent management firm, represents Griggs's TikTok endeavors and ventures, as reported by Distractify in February 2021.

Sway House 

Sway House was a well-known social media collective based in Los Angeles. Griggs joined the Sway House in 2020 and afterward switched to the Sway Gaming House. The ensemble included influencers like Bryce Hall, Jaden Hossler, Josh Richards, Anthony Reeves, Kio Cyr, Griffin Johnson, alongside Griggs.

Griggs was inducted into the Sway House by Josh Richards, an internet celebrity and a founding member of the house. Richards threw a cake on Griggs's face as part of his inaugural celebration in Texas in May 2020. At first, Griggs didn't seem very pleased with the action. He was troubled by the cake in his hair and eye. However, things relaxed quickly. Being a part of Sway House, Griggs lived at a mansion in L.A. for free with his Sway gang. 

The End Of Sway House

Sway LA, founded on 4 January 2020, held the recognition of several famous content creation houses in the TikTok industry. However, despite the fame, the house got disbanded in February 2021. Members of the house, either in covert or overt ways, announced their departure from the house.

The speculations began when Griggs came to TikTok, stating that there was no real sway in 2020. "Sway just isn't a thing anymore. Like, we're all boys, we all love each other, we're all brothers, but like there's no real Sway," he said.

The story was further debunked by one of the split Sway members, Griffin Johnson, who told People magazine that the Sway House no longer exists. Additionally, Josh Richards also discussed the subject with Dave Portnoy on his podcast BFFs in February 2021. He even retaliated against the negative rumors about the house's dissolution by underlining the members' professional and personal relationships. Furthermore, he also explained that the group disbanded because of the members' aspiration for professional growth and to explore the niche of their interest.

Moving to Sway Gaming House 

In 2020, the management and media business TalentX Gaming announced a new home, Sway Gaming, for social media celebrities to develop their gaming talents.  

The union of influencers branded Sway Gaming was quite similar to Sway L.A. It even featured its erstwhile members, namely Griggs, Griffin Johnson, and Kio Cyr, who departed to join Sway Gaming. As part of the house, each residential member has access to gameplay consoles and workstations and will have to cooperate, strategize, and hang out together.

Griggs told in an interview with The Tom Ward Show in 2020 that he moved to Sway Gaming to secure his personal branding and deflect his subjection to controversies, which was a frequent occurrence at Sway House.
