Jaxon got first time public eye by his performence on NBC World of Dance season 2 in 2018 when he finished third in Junior Divisional Final. He already competed on season 1 as member of 801Squad in 2017, but they didn't pass the Qualifiers.
Now he has been making waves in the commercial industry, from performing with Rihanna in the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show to dancing in an FKA twigs music video and at the 2022 Grammy Awards with Lil Nas X. Now, he’s taking on a mentorship role in YSL Beauty’s Push The Boundaries contest, where he will help further the careers of the two winners in its dance category. [1] Currently he is performing on Madonna’s The Celebration world tour. [2] Well, the shy, vulnerable, young man, who got patronized by Derek Hough on WoD is gone. For the Queen of Pop he turned the entire crowd in the arena on in string tanga!
Willard’s future goals include working with Doja Cat and Beyoncé. “I’m into reggaeton, contemporary, dembow, and Afrobeat, so I’d love to work with any artist of color whose music and life I can feel connected to.” he said.
