The Ven Devorts moved from Haiti to Florida where they’re beloved son would come to meet an instrumental person that would change his life as he knew it. At 15, he met Tyrone, a fellow classmate in high school, and immediately became close friends. Tyrone became the big brother that he never had. Shortly after disaster struck. The young man that Tyrone has come to know and love, his best friend died of AIDS. As a tribute to him, Enoch then changed his name to Tyrone. Tyrone later moved to New York in pursuit of an acting career. He lived with his uncle and called Brooklyn home for some time. During his many trips on the “Q” train he was spotted by a modeling agent and was signed almost immediately. He was booked for many shoots after that; Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen, The Gap to name a few. Tyrone has also catwalked in Europe where he was dubbed “ The Haitian Sensation”.
Empathetic to the victims of the September 11th catastrophe, Tyrone had a calendar signing at the HMV on October 27th 2001 (first male model to do a signing release at HMV records store) whose proceeds went to the affected families. Mr. Edmond has traveled and accomplished
great feats in his 24 years that most don’t given two lifetimes. In lieu of a cocky attitude, we see humility…instead of conceit, we are introduced to graciousness. Contrary to other artists and entertainers simply living up the life of luxury, Tyrone uses his celebrity
towards the greater good. |
