🤩 Hi! I'm TJ Byun— music artist, self-proclaimed comedian, creator marketer and the “guy that knows a guy.” Let’s start with the BIG facts about me:
</aside>
-
I love the creator economy and I have a track record of scouting top-tier social media talent, identifying early media trends and bringing creators and brands together to execute high-impact campaigns.
My Creator Economy Highlights
- I love learning about things I have ZERO knowledge about. I am confident enough to say that I know a lot about certain things, but I believe that being exposed to new and foreign ideas/worldviews are what ignites creativity and innovation.
Things ALL My Friends Know About Me:
- I’m a triplet 😲 — I am the “youngest” sibling in my family (by one minute lol) and have two really funny and smart sisters. Thank you mom and dad for two built in homies 🙏
- My favorite artist is Justin Bieber (Yes, I’m a Belieber haha). More generally I LOVE pop music, underground hip hop and electronic dance music.
- I'm a HUGE fan of memes. I like to stay as updated with current trends and culture by knowing all of the newest memes and lingo. 🤣
- I can spin a basketball on my finger 😎 — I played baseball and basketball growing up and love to play catch/pickup basketball. I also started playing golf and I’m proud to say I have a pretty consistent 225 yard drive. 🤩
