Tyler Austin

Singer/Songwriter

Tyler Austin grew up in Williamsburg, Virginia. Having an affinity for music from an early age, he was particularly interested in the piano. His parents, unsure of his discipline, held off on formal training until age 10, realizing his self-taught method of learning pre-programmed melodies by watching  a light-up keyboard screen no longer sufficed. 

In 2010, at age 15, he landed a gig as a piano player at Williamsburg's premier restaurant,  A Chef's Kitchen. As his popularity grew with the clientele, he began performing at private events around town and occasionally performed with local bands. 

In 2015, he met producer John Davenport, who signed him to a production agreement after taking an interest in the developing artist. In April 2018, they completed an 11-song album co-produced by Davenport and country music star Ira Dean. 

​ Tyler has also worked for various entertainment companies at home as well as abroad, and is currently the resident pianist at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seoul, South Korea.
