James Doyle, best known as Protein Bor, has almost broken Irish TikTok after debuting his first single.
The TikTok star rose to social media fame over the pandemic mostly for his strong accent but also his gym advice and fitness content.
James, who moved from Westmeath to Leitrim at a young age, decided to do a remix of the song Birds In The Sky by Dublin artists NewEra.
The song has even been picked up by Inbetweeners star James Buckley who played Jay Cartwright in the hit Channel 4 show.
In a TikTok video Buckley said: "Listen I know it sounds s**t but maybe go and give it a go. I am wondering though if James has written the title of his own song wrong. I have heard of a protein bar, I have not heard of a Protein Bor. Best of luck James."
