Tyson Craig Beckford was born on 19 December 1970 in Bronx, New York. Born to the parents of half-Jamaican half-Chinese father and Jamaican mother, Tyson attended Pittsford Mendon High School in the affluent suburb of Pittsford as a participant in the Urban-Suburban Program. He was raised in Rochester, New York and Jamaica.
While growing up on the crime-ridden streets of Rochester, Tyson reportedly lived the life of a criminal involving himself in drugs n sex, guns n gangs in order to survive and would have almost chalked out an erratic criminal life had it not been for the fashion editor of 'Source' who chanced upon Tyson in a New York park and talked him into signing a deal with a modeling agency. That was the beginning of his wonderful career in the glamorous world.
