EP 166: Aaron sat down with Baltimore Music Artist John Tyler to discuss Mental Health and how it has affected him in various stages of his career and currently now. He performed at Firefly Music Festival with Peach Face and that was an experience that changed his life perspective. We spoke on how he wanted to be architect growing up but found the passion of music through an unlikely avenue. He has a new album out & we talk about the next movement with Love Groove Ent/Festival
John Tyler is a 21-year-old artist, multi- instrumentalist, multi-genre producer, Founder of Love Groove Music Festival, and film scorer for Under Armour, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Visit Baltimore, and Maryland Public Television. He has been featured in Charm TV, Hulu Advertisements, BET Instagram Promotions, Baltimore Magazine, Afro Newspaper, Baltimore Sun, B’more Art, Baltimore’s 92Q, & WTMD. At 16, John released his first mixtape and has since released two more. In 2019, John’s debut album “The Good Side of Things'' dropped, setting a high standard for Baltimore music. This project highlights his abilities to merge multiple genres into one.
At 17, John started the Love Groove Music Festival to bring together young artists from different genres of art to showcase talent and to offer learning and networking opportunities. This year marks his fifth showcase, partnering with Hot Sauce Artists Collective, Baltimore Center Stage, to bring an ultimate music, arts, and education festival.
After two long years since John Tyler’s debut album, “The Good Side of Things”, he is finally back with his new EP and documentary entitled “ Free Spirit”. Free Spirit is a soulful, yet relaxing four-song collection highlighting his musicality and inspired by his desire to take a step back and appreciate life. John made this relaxing EP because he was overwhelmed with the fast forward nature of his life, the good and the bad. He describes this EP as “from sunrise to sunset”. It is his hope that this EP serves as a relaxing tool for those who are facing anxiety and constantly in motion. Join John on his upcoming 2022 winter tour as he performs the full free spirit project!
