[Tuesday, December 12] 2023 was the year we learned a new life hack (or two!), laughed out loud, and couldn’t stop thinking about the Roman Empire. Our global community of over 1 billion people, including 8.5 million Australians, and 350,000 Australian businesses, continues to come together to connect on TikTok, positively influencing culture and impacting lives.
From foolproof recipes to funny skits, throwback tracks and thriving small businesses, the TikTok community continued creating, connecting and celebrating authenticity on TikTok throughout 2023. In Australia, we saw everything from camels to frogs, outback guides to style icons, impressive impersonators to talented buskers, chef extraordinaires to sports stars, tasty recipes to beauty tips, and more.
“2023 has been another memorable year on TikTok, and the biggest yet for our Australian community. We have been so inspired by the incredible creators who are the beating heart of
TikTok, and this is an opportunity to celebrate those who have made their mark this year. A massive thank you to our community who show up every day as their true authentic selves and who made 2023 one for the history books – bring on 2024!”
– Lee Hunter, General Manager, TikTok Australia and New Zealand.
Join us as we scroll it back and reflect on an incredible year of the most memorable trends, creators, songs and moments with our community.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
