Tyler ha said in interviews he has been buying and listening to music since since a very young child he has even stated he would get funny looks when he went into the music shop to buy something with his birthday money. He has been drawing on his clothes since he was a teenager and familiarizing himself with designs. Tyler was made fun of by some adults for the way he dressed and acted, but he tried to not let their words get to him.
How They Used These Skills
Explain how did they use these skills to achieve success?
EXAMPLE: Since Tyler had experienced music from a young age he learned how to write and produce his own songs, gaining popularity with the hip-hop group he was in at the time, he decided to release clothes with designs he’d been drawing since his youth, creating a brand just as popular as him, eventually being able to sell that brand to a major retailer and opening to other brands that are arguably more successful. Not falling into social norms help Tyler stand out in his older age, with his personality, fashion and music. This made him stand out to a bigger audience and grow his platform.
