We had the good fortune of connecting with Tyler Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tyler, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
I AM NO BETTER, I JUST KNOW BETTER!

This quote was used in my family upbringing my entire life. This quote, to me, is the definition of humble. Just because I/You may be extremely talented, good looking, passionate, or kind even, it doesn’t mean I am any better than the next. I simply know better. I like this quote the most because it plays a big part in my decision making for business and personal life. Sorta like a part of my moral compass. Just because I see everyone else doing something, doesn’t mean it’s for me. I find that something’s other people do, may not necessarily be a bad idea or action, it just doesn’t work with my personal interactions and engagements. I.E. I’m no better, I just know better😉

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am brand new to LA and the west coast. And who doesn’t love a new recognizable talent! I’ve only lived in LA for 1 year and was able to have been apart of 2 different Grammy Award Performances with H.E.R. & Lil NAS X Ft. Jack Harlow, The American Music Awards with Giveon and Cardi B, and The Super Bowl Halftime Show, where I was also Snoop Doggs Stand for rehearsal and camera blocking. What’s sets me apart is that I am able to do all things performing arts across the board. I’m mostly know for dancing(Tap dance being my first love) and modeling, but I also sing/rap, act, play multiple instruments, produce fashion shows and music. I got to where I am today by having Delusionally Positive Faith in myself! Knowing that I am great! But I am no better, I just know better. There’ were times when I felt like giving up on entertainment and keeping a regular 9-5, but every time that became an option to me I saw it as a clear view to choosing my own happiness and destiny. Choosing to be creative with my own life journey and experiences has been the ultimate key to my success as an adult. I’ve learned so much already and I’m still so young. I want the world to know that giving up on yourself is NEVER an option. I’ve been in entertainment my entire life, but my best career year and breakout moment to “the industry” didn’t come until the first PANDEMIC when the entire world was shut down. I say all that to say you never know when YOUR moment is going to come so never give up on your dreams because one day you’ll look around and notice your dreams turned to reality.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Most of my friends are from the Tri State Area so they are going to want the LA staples they’ve seen on TV & Films lol. Roscoes Chicken And Waffles would be our Monday food attraction. Tuesday morning lace your hiking boots, we’re going to Griffith Park Hollywood Sign! Lunch @ Wokano DTLA for sushi and other Asian foods. Wednesday we’re going to Redondo Beach and to my favorite taco spot there! Thursday I’d show my friends what 4DX is. We’d go to the movies. Friday-Sunday I can show them to LA’s most popular night life places you won’t see listed on google. Iykyk.
