Royal Cromwell is an androgynous model, life coach, model coach, speaker, and holistic practitioner, bringing his generation, amongst several ahead of him, so much life and love.
Mr. Cromwell is the founder of many organizations and businesses like Owleye Healing and The Royal Factotum, in which he takes passionate pride. He has spent the past decade building his modeling portfolio in the professional aspect and has graced many runways, magazines, TV shows, and commercials internationally. Alongside these accolades, he has managed to find time to educate himself with various internships, assistant positions, and mentorships. These relationships ultimately led to multiple certifications and licenses with several notable acknowledgements. Among these is the award he received from the city of Birmingham as appreciation for sparking a new light in environmental education and eco-awareness. He has also been recently nominated for a Journey Award.
In Royal’s early years, born in Atlanta but raised in Jersey and Birmingham under his mother’s roof, he learned several life and character-building skills. When they had to relocate to Birmingham, Alabama, to care for his ill grandmother, he became more engulfed in the spiritual roots of his family. It was then when he decided to start Owl Eye Healing inspired by role models like Adele, Albert Einstein, and Jimi Hendrix. Einstein taught him creativity. Adele taught him to be genuine in what you do. And oddly enough, he was able to connect to the very much raw aspect of Jimi Hendrix as a barrier breaker.
Going down South, he was met with a completely different modeling and creative scene from what he was used to. Nevertheless, Royal immersed himself in every artistic opportunity he found at school. From elementary to High School, he was musically inclined, playing over five instruments by his graduation day. He was always in the spotlight, being the main speaker and ambassador for most of his school’s shows and representative assignments. During that time, he was appointed as his school fashion director, and he quickly got to work forming a group of students to teach while attending Ramsay High School.
Later on, Royal was an Assistant to the Director of the Bazaar Fashion Show featuring Dawn Richards, Director of the Ramsay Fashion Show, and an ambassador for Yolaines enhancing skincare. It was then that he began making a name for himself, which helped him build his modeling school. When it was time for him to name his modeling school, he sought after a word that meant skills-men in many trades, and that is how he learned about the strange history of factotums. At one point, Factotums were hired across America as general specialists with plumbing, electrical work, construction, and more. Royal took the word and put his first name in front of it to change the meaning. A Royal Factotum would be an artistic Skills-men in fashion, music, dance, production, and more. That is how The Royal Factotum came to be.
Royal and his students participated in shows such as the Bronner Brothers Hair Show, Dawn Richards, Jordan Peele, Ava DuVernay, D.D.S.L. productions, CereUs, Sarah Neely, V-Monet, Lovecraft, OWN network, and The City Girls. This experience has allowed them to share his modeling practices with young children at various locations for Summer and afterschool programs. This has helped him give our youth more positive options to express themselves as who they are.
As a successful model, CEO, and holistic health leader, Royal is climbing the ladder of his purpose and notoriety as he continues to slay the runways in various cities and appear in different magazines. He aims to attain more students and take on the globe by expanding his modeling school to various cities worldwide. Royal wants everyone to know if you believe in yourself and you hold on to your faith, your dreams will be delivered.
