Biography

Long before he cemented himself as a highly sought-after composer, guitarist, songwriter, and record producer, Tyler Bates resided in a haunted, rural-Illinois, log cabin ranch previously owned by none other than Al Capone. Between two exorcisms on the property and an “odd” job unwittingly digging graves, the multi-talented musician developed an expansive imagination during his formative years. Tyler is always seeking what he refers to as “a music moment.” “It’s a musical event that we as a duo or a group experience together,” he elaborates. “When I meet a director, producer, or artist in my studio - based on our conversation - I’ll often play guitar or create music based solely on that initial exchange of ideas or current events. So, before we engage in the formal process of creating music for a movie, TV show, or an artist album, we’ve already begun a creative conversation that results in actual music as opposed to hypotheticals. It creates excitement. With everything that I do, I try to create a process that is referential to the project we are working on as opposed to pre-existing entities.” “My heart is in absolutely everything I do,” he leaves off. “Whether it’s rock or a score, I do my best to always explore new ideas. My primary goal as an artist is to connect with people, understand my collaborators, and hopefully translate that understanding into re-telling an emotion. I’m really excited about the prospect of making more interesting art.”
