Tyrell and Latrina Washington reside in North Hollywood, California, and can undoubtedly be considered an influential couple in the entertainment industry. Latrina is known for movies like Inland Empire (2006), True Blood (2008), and Connected (2015). Tyrell is known for You Got Served (2004), Dreamgirls (2006), and Norbit (2007). They have mastered the art of maintaining a healthy career and family life.


The Washington’s started as dancers and have performed with Beyonce, Rihanna, and more well-known music artists.
Many people may not know this, but Latrina was born with clubfoot. Her mother put Latrina in dance classes to help her daughter overcome her disability. Obviously, this has not stopped her from pursuing her dream.


The dynamic-duo transition from dancers to producers. They have worked on some of Hollywood’s biggest competition shows, including Jimmy Fallon’s – Clash of the Cover Bands, The Voice, America’s Got Talent, American Idol, Legendary, and NBC’s American Song Contest – hosted by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson.
Juggling a career as a family of five in the entertainment industry can present challenges, but this power couple seems to have it under control.
“We balance each other out; it’s not always easy because many times we both are exhausted,” said Latrina. “We switch up sometimes. He takes care of the children so I can rest, and I will take care of the children so he can rest.”


The married couple mentioned that they do not allow anyone to come in between them and their destiny.
“The naysayers are just people who don’t understand our vision,” said Tyrell. “We don’t let them bother us because we remain true to ourselves.”
The Washington’s love being in the entertainment industry and can’t see themselves doing anything else. They love seeing their vision come to life and continue pushing forward to leave a legacy everyone will remember them by.
Watch out for the Washington’s.
