2. His background and experience in creativity industries drives his unique style

He says, "I’m in touch with forward-thinking ideas, connect well with dynamic personalities, and characterized with explosive creativity." He's shot campaigns for Nike, Jameson, and VICE with fashion films debuting on Vogue, L'officiel, and Flaunt.
3. Byron's worked with artists like Paul McCartney
Before becoming Global Creative VP at Capitol Records, Byron previously ran the creative direction at Spotify Studios. From there, he's worked with the likes of Paul McCartney, Halsey, Chris Brown, Queens of the Stone Age, and ASAP Rocky. Recently, him and Phil “SACBxY” Tayag from Jabbacwockeez took creative control on Paul McCartney's remixed song, “Find My Way” from the album, McCartney III Imagined featuring Beck.
"One of the best parts of this entire video production was that Filipino-Americans were behind the creative. I knew that if I ever was in a place of agency, I would open the door for other Pinoy creatives to shine. For this one, it was Phil Tayag, who with his star studded resume, gave young Paul his groovy moves."
