Teyana Taylor is crediting Beyonc\u00e9 for the sound advice that she applied to her business endeavors.<\/p>\n
The Harlem, NY, native is a jack of all trades, with titles that include artist, actor, dancer, choreographer, model, creative director, and businesswoman. <\/span><\/p>\n As AFROTECH<\/a> previously reported, she attended the Harlem School of Arts to study music, acting, and choreography. Her breakthrough in the entertainment<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u2122<\/p>\n industry occurred in 2007 after signing a record deal with Pharrell Williams\u2019 Star Trak Entertainment. Working as the choreographer at age 15 for Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u201cRing the Alarm\u201d music video the year prior served as a career catalyst, according to a separate<\/p>\n AFROTECH<\/a> article.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u2122<\/p>\n Fast forward to 2025, Taylor acknowledged in an interview<\/a> with Marie Claire that Beyonc\u00e9 supported Taylor during the highs and lows of her career. Taylor retired from music in 2020, stating she felt \u201cunappreciated\u201d by her label, Def Jam, per<\/a> People. She returned to the music industry five years later with the release of her fourth studio album, \u201cEscape Room,\u201d according to<\/a> Billboard.<\/p>\n \u201cNo matter where I\u2019ve ever been, whatever challenges I was going through, wherever I\u2019ve been in my career<\/a>, feeling stagnant or feeling unseen or unheard, to just hear Beyonc\u00e9 tell me how proud of me she is, no matter where I am in my life and my career, really inspires me to keep going and just keep following my heart and following my gut,\u201d Taylor told\u00a0Marie Claire.<\/p>\n Taylor also revealed some advice that she received from Beyonc\u00e9: to self-invest. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re never gonna fully get what you want unless you go and do it yourself,\u201d the best-selling artist told Taylor, per<\/a> Marie Claire. Taylor applies this advice to her shows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI was kind of one of the only up-and-coming artists that was like: \u2018I want a band, I want six dancers. I want, I want, I want.\u2019 I wanted the world. I wanted everything with a bubblegum and shoestring budget. And I realized that I would walk away with less money because I was paying more people,\u201d Taylor told Marie Claire.<\/p>\n With the advice from Beyonc\u00e9, Taylor admitted, \u201cI was okay with that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOf course it hurts in the moment because it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh my god, I could be making so much more money.\u2019 But then [I\u2019d talk] to Bey, and she just gives you that reassurance of like, \u2018Oh no, that\u2019s normal. That just means you\u2019re a true creative. Spend the money. Do what you gotta do to get what you want.\u2019 What that did was build up my credibility in that space. When people ask Teyana for a show, they know what they\u2019re in for,\u201d she shared with the outlet.<\/p>\n The post Teyana Taylor Reveals The Advice Beyonc\u00e9 Gave To Her That She Applied To Her Career And The Music Business<\/a> appeared first on AfroTech<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Teyana Taylor Reveals The Advice Beyonc\u00e9 Gave To Her That She Applied To Her Career And The Music Business<\/a> appeared first on AfroTech<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teyana Taylor is crediting Beyonc\u00e9 for the sound advice that she applied to her business endeavors.
