Entrepreneur Triumphs Over Tragedy to Build Entertainment Empire

Entrepreneur Triumphs Over Tragedy to Build Entertainment Empire

DETROIT, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly thirty years ago, Kenneth Tyson, Jr. was a varsity baseball player and a popular college student whose future sparkled with opportunity. Coming of age as his hometown produced legendary Motown Records superstars, Mr. Tyson celebrated life and love to the tune of those legendary singing sensations.

But a horrific car accident paralyzed his body -- and his plans for a high-profile career as an attorney. In an instant, fate rewrote the lyrics of his life from a sunny song to the blues.

For years, Mr. Tyson endured grueling physical therapy. He suffered a symbolic death -- physically, emotionally and spiritually -- ultimately deciding to live with more gusto than ever before.

Now, Mr. Tyson is telling his phenomenal story in Going Full Circle: From Life to Death to Life.

In his autobiography and in the mesmerizing lines of his motivational speeches, Mr. Tyson inspires ordinary men and women as well as people with spinal cord injuries.

His message? No matter what tragedies you are facing, you can triumph -- by singing a tune of success and becoming a shooting star.

Mr. Tyson speaks from experience. With prayer and perseverance, he used faith and fortitude to catapult himself from the black hole of near-death and depression ... to reclaim his place in the sun. He saw himself as a shooting star as he learned to survive and thrive as a quadriplegic in a wheelchair, with only partial use of his hands and arms.

Now Mr. Tyson is building an entertainment complex called The Shooting Star. With a roller rink, restaurant and discotheque, The Shooting Star is Mr. Tyson's dazzling way of "giving back" to his beloved community.

As President and CEO of K. Tyson Enterprises, he is also sparking a musical renaissance to re-establish his hometown of Detroit, Michigan as a musical mecca for R&B artists. Mr. Tyson's brainchild, 2nd Generation Records, conducted a talent search whose winners will be showcased on an album. In addition, they are launching the hip-hop sounds of rap artist Jay Hussle.

In his tireless quest for success, Mr. Tyson is acquiring properties throughout Detroit with his company, Starlite Realty.

Mr. Tyson celebrates an intense joie de vivre with his wife, family and long-time friends whom he entertains at his home. He travels across the United States and Caribbean to cultivate his entrepreneurial endeavors.
