Music has been an obsession for Tyler since childhood, beginning with piano lessons at five. By the age of ten, he was already crafting his compositions, eager to share them with anyone willing to listen. This early foundation paved the way for his collaboration with Dave “Switch” Taylor, a partnership that became instrumental in developing Tyler's distinctive sonic identity.
Tyler's entry into the professional music scene gained momentum through an internship with Chris and Dria of Front Runnaz, following his initial work with Switch. This pivotal experience not only broadened his creative horizons but also solidified his skills in music production, leading to collaborative efforts on his debut project.
During his college years where he earned his bachelor's degree in Sound Engineering, Tyler expanded his artistic repertoire to include DJing. This new element was innovatively woven into his dynamic live performances, transforming them into more than just concerts. Tyler's shows became immersive experiences, blending the spontaneity of a DJ set with the emotional journey of his original songs, thus forging a unique connection with his audience.
In his latest project, Tyler invites listeners into the world of his upbringing, where music was a family affair. At its heart, the project is a collaborative effort, largely co-written with his sister, SarahDeaun. His aunt Linda and cousins Rondez, Jazmine, and Patience contributed to the background vocals, with arrangements by Linda that echo the familial gatherings of Tyler's youth. DJ Swivel contributed his expertise in mixing and mastering ensuring the project's sound was impeccably polished.
Central to Tyler's musical narrative is his father, Howard McCrary, whose jazzy progressions and arrangements have significantly influenced Tyler and are featured prominently in the project. This rich tapestry of familial influence also includes the music of his aunt, the iconic Chaka Khan, all serving to leave an indelible mark on his creative DNA.
