American Polymath, Lashon Alexander Byrd III was born in Cleveland, Ohio to parents Lashon Alexander Jr. and Shardae Williams.
Discovering his passion for acting early on in life doing various theater performances, he attended Dike School of the Arts in 2014, in the first grade. Movies have always been a great inspiration to him, imagining himself in various feature films such as Moana, Hancock, and I am Legend, his passion for acting only grew stronger. During his attendance at the magnet school previously mentioned, he took many drama lessons and was even encouraged by the teacher to pursue acting. As she said, there was a flame, a talent, inside him that needed to be awakened. Having unprofessionally pursued acting in 2019. Ironically Booking a professional gig that same year that launched him into the mainstream.
It wasn't until a few months later in 2020, his mother notified him of a sudden Disney audition that he had the opportunity to audition for. Not pursuing the business headfirst as a young working professional, he was absolutely elated. Still being green in education, of the industry.
Auditioning for the "casting call," the "talent scouts" proclaimed he was special and was chosen in the 25 of 300 actors auditioning for further training before the actual film. Long story short, it was a pretty sophisticated scam and Lashon would go on to be scammed 2 more times, before finally actually breaking into the industry headfirst. In August, a few days before his birthday, he was discovered by talent agency: The Talent Group. As of 2024 he is perceived as a rising star in the film industry. And star in others.
