Tyler Ward & CREW

Passion is what drives Tyler Ward to write, produce and perform music; however, music wasn't always his focus. Encouraged by his father at a young age to pursue athletics, Tyler spent his time working towards scoring touchdowns and winning football games rather than chasing his musical dream.

Tyler's realization of becoming a successful national artist arose when he first started playing with national acts such as The Fray, The Jonas Brothers, Gavin DeGraw, Augustana and Ryan Cabrera. "After that first big show with The Fray, I was sold on doing music for the rest of my life," Tyler says. Playing shows for thousands of people fueled Tyler's drive and creativity. It drove him to write and record several demos that have attracted attention throughout the major music industry.
