Recording artist, actor and model TYRESE GIBSON (AJ) was born and raised in Watts, California, a section of South Central Los Angeles. Gibson discovered a love of music at an early age and released his self-titled debut album at 19. In January 2000, he received an American Music Award for Favorite New Artist. In addition to his musical talents, Gibson has found success in the acting and modeling worlds, having appeared in several television series and commercials, including an exclusive contract with Guess?
Gibson took his career to the next level when he made his feature film debut as the star of Baby Boy, directed by John Singleton. Gibson worked with Singleton again on 2 Fast 2 Furious, which grossed over $240 million worldwide.
Gibson released his third album (on J Records) in December of 2002, featuring the first single "How You Gonna Act Like That." Featuring both solo and collaborative writing efforts, Gibson’s music melds together the essence of hip-hop and R&B with great energy and style.
His dynamic, upbeat hits have appeared on the Blue Streak and Best Man soundtracks, and his debut album reached platinum status. His sophomore album, 2000 WATTS (RCA), was released in May, 2001.
He made guest starring appearances on the television series Moesha, Martin and Hanging With Mr. Cooper. Additionally, the actor appeared in a popular, global television commercial for Coca-Cola (the kid in headphones singing on the bus), which earned international recognition.
One of the most sought after African-American male models in the nation, Gibson has been featured in numerous print and television ad campaigns for such top brands as Tommy Hilfiger. As a member of the elite Ford Modeling Agency, he had an exclusive sponsorship with Guess?, which included everything from advertising and promotions to special guest appearances and performances.
