Growing up in San Bernardino is no easy task for anyone — especially a business-minded individual. The Inland Empire doesn't hand out shortcuts. But Teckn wasn't looking for shortcuts. He was looking for a dynasty.

Before there were studios and film sets, there was a basketball court. Teckn was named MVP at Arroyo Valley High School in San Bernardino — the same competitive fire that would later carry into every beat, every production, and every business he built. Alongside basketball, he took a film production class at Arroyo Valley, planting the first seed of what would become a career in entertainment.

In 2013, Teckn enrolled at The Los Angeles Film School to study Recording Engineering. It was here that he trained under instructors with credits from Paramount, Universal, and Top Dawg Entertainment. The technical foundation he built at LAFS — the signal flow, the mixing, the production discipline — became the bedrock of everything that followed.

Teckn did not graduate from LA Film School — but he made huge connections and learned the best of knowledge there. That's what makes his story different. He didn't wait for a record deal or a studio to hire him. He went back to the Inland Empire and started building — artists, models, production crews, websites, apps, and a network bigger than anything San Bernardino had seen before.
