Tyler Tymes

Modern-day Renaissance man Tyler Tymes doesn’t just want to write songs and play music. He wants to write songs and play music that elicit raw emotion in others. A melody-driven writer with a penchant for deep, thoughtful lyrics, he is determined to make each and every listener feel something. In his latest single “Drive,” a haunting rendition of The Cars 1984 classic, Tymes draws the listener in from the first verse and holds on through the last note of the song. “I want my music to make people think a little bit deeper about the things that are most important,” he says of the music he releases. His voice, reminiscent of classic singers like Roy Orbison, shines in songs ranging widely from singer-songwriter tunes to alt-rock, a nod to his eclectic musical tastes. Determined to make an impact through his songs, the Grand Rapids, MI, native set his sights on a career in music and made the move to Nashville in 2012. He has been making his mark in Music City ever since.
