Early life
Tah-Jai was born in Flint, Michigan, the son of a Pharmacy technician and student. Tah-Jai went to school at Madison Academy of Burton, Michigan for his middle school year and his Freshmen and Sophomore year. He also had the passion deep within him to be a successful Actor and Model,So his mother and grandmother enrolled him into the Flint youth Theater a program of the Flint Institute of Performing Arts. When Tah-Jai started taking the classes he loved it, When his acting coach passed out a flyer about a audition for 'How To Kill a Mocking Bird" that the theater was holding. So he decided to audition,the producer said he would call later on in the week to tell me if I got a part. When Tah-Jai finally got the call he found out that he didn't get a part,he was upset,but he didn't give up he kept going to their classes to get better. But when he got his 7th grade report card he was not doing so great in school, So his mother took him out of the acting classes for he can concentrate on school more but his mother and grandmother both knew he had the potential to be successful and great in school. As he grew older during his freshmen year he shocked everyone when he kept a 3.7GPA  throughout his freshman year And he plans to keep it up throughout his high school year and college year. His whole life he was told he was handsome,So he decided to try modeling in Detroit,he found an agency online and submitted  his photos,and was called from the agency to come to Detroit and have an interview,so  his mother drove Tah-Jai and his little sister Jada to Detroit. The agency loved Tah-Jai and said the would need 400$ to start his career,but him and his mother knew that an agency should never ask for money upfront unless it was a SCAM!! which the agency was. So Tah-Jai went back home and look up modeling agencies in NYC and submitted photos to many agencies in New York City. and received three calls from three different agencies to come have and interview in that same week, but sadly he could not because he had school and his mother had to work. Tah-Jai said when he get older he will try to move to New York City, New York or Los Angeles, California to have a better advantage to start his career.
