“My name is Jimmy Atimua aka “The Real Ati” or “Ati” I was born in Fort Lewis, Wa. I was raised in Kaiserslautern, Germany but my family is from the villages of Sailele, Masausi, and Aunuu. I was a military brat growing up so I’ve stayed in Texas, Georgia, California, Washington state, American Samoa, Germany, and currently residing in Ewa Beach, HI. I am the 2nd oldest of 5 siblings. I am happily married to the love of my life and best friend Vinora Ieremia-Atimua. I am currently a proud truck owner of our family business called Perefoti Island Fixx which we specialize in our Polynesian Samoan dessert drinks called Vaifala and other delicious flavors and known for our famous delicious faausi kalo ice cream.

I’m also a social media video content creator known for my relateable funny Samoan culture videos that we all have experienced during our childhood or are currently experiencing rt now as Polynesians or Samoans. My favorite Samoan dish is just anything with pisupo (Corn Beef) lol! I’m also a faifeau son or pastors kid otherwise known as PK’s. Both my father and my wife’s father are pastors. Some people may not know this but I also play the drums and lead our praise and worship team with my wife for my father in laws (Reverend Taavili Ieremia) church (Turning Point).”

“So I started doing and being a content creator about 4 years ago. I started watching funny videos on vine from creators like “heyitsdenden”, “momeachokez”, “fui fobservation”, my uso Jason “Prospecc” Faalafua, “Kili So Silly” and Russell Satele just to name a few. It made me proud to see my fellow Polynesian Samoan usoz doing funny content and it motivated me to pursue that route so I started making funny videos myself. To me being a content creator is a talent and I believe there are other young content creatures out there who feel like they can do this too, and I’m telling them to pursue it, if you feel this is what you love to do then do it, don’t let anyone stop you or tel you otherwise. For me as a Samoan content creator who has other Samoan content creator that look up to me and want to pursue the same route as I did this is what and why I do what I do as content creator. If I can make someone laugh while making a fool out of myself then my job is done. To me laughing is the best medicine for everything and that’s what inspires me and eventually changed my life.”

“I am of Samoan decent, my father is Aeto Atimua from the villages of Sailele and Masausi in American Samoa. My mother is Vaelua Atimua of Aunuu in American Samoa.

Being from a Samoan background has shaped me a lot through my culture. It has taught me to be respectful, family oriented, but most of all rooted in my Samoan culture. All these traits have molded me into the man I am today. A lot of my videos I do are affiliated with how we’ve all have been raised either through our culture or how we were raised with our family. Every one of us can relate to my content. Through all my content everyone can see how it has shaped the man that I am today.

I tell all our younger generation coming up that if you know what you wanna do in life, pursue it no matter what it is. Whatever you love to do, if you wake up every morning and that’s all you think about then do it. Do something you love, don’t get stuck with what someone else wants you to do. You should always follow your heart and don’t listen to what other people say. Pursue your goals and keep Striving!”

“Do something you love, don't get stuck with what someone else wants you to do."
