Biography

Tye Olson, a multifaceted American thespian and model, hailed from the picturesque landscape of Northern Minnesota, where he spent his formative years surrounded by the warmth and guidance of his loving parents, Allen and Rebecca Olson.

Tye's journey in the arts began at a tender age, as his mother's unwavering encouragement played a significant role in nurturing his creative inclinations. As a result, his early years were marked by a profound passion for the arts, which continued to flourish as he progressed through his educational journey.

Prior to embarking on his formal education, Tye attended Bemidji High School, where he honed his skills and developed a strong foundation in the arts. His academic achievements and artistic talents ultimately led him to pursue higher education at the esteemed American Intercontinental University, Los Angeles.

At American Intercontinental University, Tye had the privilege of studying Fashion Design and Marketing, a discipline that allowed him to combine his artistic flair with his business acumen. Through his academic pursuits, he gained a comprehensive understanding of the fashion industry, including its various aspects, from design and production to marketing and merchandising.

Tye's remarkable journey in the world of cinema began when he was just eighteen years old, securing the coveted lead role in the feature film Watercolors, a milestone that would catapult him to the forefront of critical acclaim. His exceptional performance in this film earned him a trio of prestigious Best Actor awards at various film festivals scattered across the nation, a testament to his burgeoning talent and versatility as an actor. Following this groundbreaking success, Tye continued to make waves in the industry, taking on supporting roles in Tru Loved and later appearing in a notable featured capacity in the film Brother's War, further solidifying his position as a rising star in the world of cinema.

Tye's entrance into the world of television was a relatively short-lived affair, as he made his debut mere years after his initial foray into the industry, securing a guest-starring role on the highly acclaimed HBO television series United States of Tara, a program renowned for its exceptional storytelling and outstanding performances.

Subsequent to this auspicious beginning, Tye has gone on to collaborate with a plethora of talented individuals, including a multitude of prominent artists within the realm of music, on a diverse array of projects that span the gamut from short films to music videos.

Notable among these collaborations are his partnerships with esteemed acts such as Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Katy Perry, each of whom has contributed to the rich tapestry of Tye's burgeoning career, helping to shape his artistic identity and foster a sense of creative growth and development.

Tye embarked upon an artistic journey in his mid-twenties, venturing into the captivating realm of drag performance. In pursuit of creative expression and like-minded individuals, he made the bold decision to relocate to San Francisco, a city renowned for its vibrant cultural landscape. By splitting his time between Northern California and Los Angeles, Tye was able to tap into the diverse artistic energies of both regions, fostering a rich tapestry of inspiration and influence.

As his passion for drag continued to grow, Tye took on the role of a visionary curator, producer, and performer, dedicating himself to the creation of numerous large-scale events throughout the state. Through his tireless efforts, he successfully built a platform for himself and a community of LGBTQIA+ talent, providing a much-needed space for self-expression and artistic exploration.

Tye, a trailblazing individual, is not only the visionary founder of Boozy Drag Queen Bingo, a world-renowned and highly-acclaimed Airbnb online drag queen experience that has gained a global following, but also a true pioneer in the realm of self-expression and identity.

As a self-identified gender fluid individual, Tye has taken the courageous step of embracing their true nature and is now selective in the film, television, and commercial roles they choose to take on, reflecting their commitment to authenticity and representation.
