It's what I want to do – I want to be paying for it."It was probably only during lockdown when I got really into drag."When asked how young he was when he started performing family shows, he added: "For as far as I can remember.

I would put towels on my head."It was something I would do in the living room at home, and there'd be nothing else about it."It was hidden away – me and my aunties doing shows."Then, when lockdown hit, Tyler discovered Ru Paul’s Drag Race, and absolutely fell in love with the UK series.His love for the show made him learn more about the art of drag, and he realised it was something he could really see himself doing.Last year he even went to see some of the queens on tour with his mum, and he said it "further boosted" him into realising that his future was in drag.
