Tyler Fiore is an upcoming star from Phoenix, Arizona. His dance-pop sound has reached the shores of the UK and continues to go from strength to strength, thanks to social media.
"I tend to look at it is as pop music with a message" is Tyler's response to the classic question of 'How would you describe your music?'. ""If I can make someone forget about their problems for 3 minutes then I think it's just as good as writing some deep meaningful song". Although, Tyler is not adverse to writing songs that induce thought, "Songs of mine like 'Beautiful' are very dance orientated, but the lyrics are about losing my sister, she passed away at the age of 13....'Happy' is a heavy dance song, but I wrote it when I was going through a really rough time, asking myself if I was ever going to be happy. So songs like that are why I describe it as pop with a message".
Being 23, Tyler is only at the beginning of his music career and yet is already winning awards. In 2011, Tyler won the Producers Choice for Pop Artist of the Year at the Phoenix Music Awards, "It was kind of nuts!" Tyler says as he relives the night, "It was one of those things where I was kind of stuck in limbo musically, I had just started getting a fan base and I was in the studio recording, but nothing was happening on a professional level. It was shortly after I lost my sister and I was having a horrible day. I missed work that morning and I got a phone call from the producers from the award show, asking if I was available to collect the award. They had chosen me out of 500 other local artists. I was kind of shocked. I had always been told I wasn't good enough, so this was the ultimate 'Fuck you' to the people who had ever doubted me. It's not a Grammy, but it's the first step and I was extremely honoured to accept it."
Tyler started writing songs at the tender age of 10, "they were probably the dumbest songs ever written. I think I wrote a song about space and stars!"
