So I already knew days in advance that Billie Eilish was going to win multiple Grammy awards.
TYLER THE CREATOR GRAMMY FULL
So obviously the goal is to not mess up! A cool thing about performing at The Grammy’s is you get to see all the live performances and winners before it even happens! They do multiple full Grammy run practices to make sure everything goes smooth! We head to the Grammy’s stage and the whole entire Grammy committee and celebrities are there watching us. I am walking by the Jonas Brothers, Lil Nas X, Medona, Diplo and many more incredible people. This was absolutely incredible because all the Grammy performers and artists were there. I was so laser focused because I wanted to make sure I got the whole routine right and didn’t want to mess up in-front of Tyler.įriday January 24th, 2020 we arrive at The Staples Center for rehersals. So it kept everyone on their toes and working hard.įirst day of practice lasted 10 hours and I was physically and mentally exhausted. A lot of people messed up or werent trying and Tyler kicked them out of the performance. I stayed focused and made sure I didnt mess up. The first day of practice was very difficult! We had to learn a whole entire choregoraphed routine for the biggest award show in the world.
On January 23rd, 2020 the Thursday before the Grammy’s we report to Universal Studios lot to practice with the other 20 IGOR Dancers & Tyler The Creator.
I gladly accepted of course! And was now going to be working with one of the biggest artists in the world! Keep in mind! I am not a dancer, I am an Actor & Model primarily, so to be chosen as a dancer from that one courageous dance move was astonishing to me. The next day, I got a message from his team notifying me that I was booked for the 2020 Grammy Awards as one of the IGOR Dancers for Tyler The Creator. Tyler then asks me if I am “Nimble”, so without hesitation, I start dancing and he immediately starts laughing because he was not expecting me to respond in a dance move. Of course, I returned the compliments back and that led to a very organic and fun conversation. We begin talking for a couple minutes and he starts complimenting my style and my chains. In my mind I am thinking “Obviously, I know who you are! Your Tyler The Creator!” You aren’t just a regular civilian named “Tyler”. He introduces himself and says “Hey! I am Tyler”. After I took the photos they sat me down and said one other person will need to speak with me before I leave.ĥ minutes pass and no one has approached me so I start to look at my phone and scroll through Instagram to bypass the time.Īll of a sudden, I get a tap on my back and I turn around and its…TYLER THE CREATOR right in front of me! I am absolutely shocked, but still maintaining my cool because I am a professional, lol! A couple serious photos and then some simple smiling photos. I sign the paper and then they ask me to take some simple pictures up against a white wall. I quickly snap back into reality and its the assistant asking me to sign an NDA because this is a high level secret project. While I am pondering these thoughts, I hear a voice say “Obi. I thought to my self “Could that be….Tyler The Creator” No way! Why would a celebrity come to a casting audition…? The G-Hat & socks could be the Golf Wang. So I quickly turned around and all I could see during that split second turn was a “G-Hat & G-socks” before they ran into the self built dressing room.
I hear a running noise of someone behind me. I walked into an all white room with 5 people standing around and waited in a chair patiently.
Saturday January 11th, 2020 I strolled into MILK Studios in West Hollywood, California for an experience I would never forget.
