Tyler, the Creator joined Quentin Tarantino at the Fourth Annual Kodak Film Awards to be honored once more. He ended 2019 on a high note after being recognized by The Wall Street Journal as their 2019 Music Innovator of the Year as well as GQ's Man of the Year and things aren't slowing down for him.
Big Facts: Tyler was presented with the inaugural Maverick Award at the award show.
Tyler, The Creator is a 28-year-old auteur. A recording artist, songwriter, producer, director, designer and more, he first emerged in 2007 as co-founder of the collective Odd Future before going on to co-create and star in the cult TV show Loiter Squad on Adult Swim with his Odd Future cohorts. This was just the beginning for Tyler — since then he has become a Grammy Award winning artist, releasing five studio albums, launching an internationally acclaimed music festival (Camp Flog Gnaw) that has sold out 8 years running, creating two clothing brands (Golf Wang and Golf Le Fleur) that have collaborated with heritage brands like Converse, Lacoste and more, as well as creating two more TV shows (The Jellies! for Adult Swim and Nuts & Bolts for Viceland). His latest album IGOR debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, saw him crowned GQ’s Man of the Year and Wall Street Journal Magazine’s Innovator of the Year in addition to being named Best Rap Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards just this past weekend.
