Meet Kylie River | Parkour Athlete, Actress, Model, Musical Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kylie River and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kylie, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand has been the fact that I am constantly continuing to market myself, outreach to people, and find anyway I can to continue to put myself out there. Through social media, different casting programs, and networking events/meetups I’ve had the opportunity to work with and meet amazing people that help me in my processes to grow.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a Parkour Athlete, Actress, Musician, Model, Stunt Women, Coach and I think what sets me apart as a business and artist is the fact that I am so passionate about so many things. Plus I’m not afraid of what others might think about my decisions and continue to be myself in everything I do. I started my journey only a little over 2 years ago and I’ve grown so much since then. I started with just wanting to learn how to do flips; front flips, backflips, side flips. A couple months into that training process I started training Parkour and actually met my first Acting coach through teaching her son at my gym. It has been the consistency of constantly wanting more and being open to excepting signs from the universe that I could do whatever I put my mind too. I am a very spiritual believer, and I believe you can have everything you want in life you just have to continue to take the steps everyday in order to get there. It takes courage and accountability, it has not been easy but I continue to speak about and manifest what I want my future to look like and it has gotten me some of my biggest jobs yet. When I first started my acting career I made sure that I wrote out the journey of where I wanted to take my career being the type of roles I wanted to get, the type of projects I wanted to work on, and the image I wanted to have in the public eye. I remember one of my biggest goals was getting roles with the same names as my three favorite childhood characters. It still blows my mind that before I started being on tv I made this list and have already accomplished all of them in such a short period of time. From that lesson I learned as long as you have clarity in your goals, the discipline to work for them everyday, and you build a strong support system around you then all your dreams can come true. That’s not a fairy tail, or a tv myth that’s real life and it can be your life you just have to want it bad enough.
