From hundreds of thousands of views to millions of followers, Dracula found a fanbase online that far exceeded the population of their home state.
"It's my biggest cover to date and, for whatever reason, that was something I'd always planned to cover since I was like 16," Dracula said.From creating TikToks at home in Tasmania to recording with music idols in the United States, Dracula is still surprised and humbled by the collaborations they've had access to and fans they've amassed.
Dracula plays the role of Luther on Warriors, a chaotic villain and leader of a New York City gang called the Rogues.
