Creating the next generation in music with Converse All Stars and Tyler the Creator

The collection of All Stars were selected to attend a three day workshop that was hosted by different industry leaders, multi-disciplinary artist Abdul Abdullah, creative director, Ken Leung and music producer Justin Elwin. The young creatives were tasked with the opportunity to join forces and create five original tracks, paired with a visual expression of the sound- which would then be showcased to musical genius Tyler, The Creator.

“If you’re a creative person, it’s easy for people to pigeonhole you,” said Tyler, The Creator. “When you branch out and do something different, even your biggest supporters might not understand as they don’t have the same lens as you. When I’m not in my comfort zone, it pushes me to break out even more. It’s easy to relapse and fall back into your old ways, but sometimes getting out of your comfort level is the greatest thing ever and that’s what this Converse All Star experience is all about.”

“Converse blew my expectations out the water, we were briefed and given schedules from interviews, exclusive meets, studio time and creative sessions, we were given a taste of our dream lives- creativity and passions were ignited, and I’m going to keep pushing until it is a reality.” Nyota Parker said following the showcase.
