Tyler Kyte
Hailing from Lindsey, Ontario, 22-year-old singer/songwriter Tyler Kyte has a voice that grabs you and won't let go. Blessed with a distinct vibrato, and raspy tone reminiscent of Eddie Vedder and Michael Stipe, Tyler sings with a passion and emotion rarely heard. His songs combine the classic rock of Steve Miller and Pearl Jam, with a more rootsy approach that could as easily fill a stadium as a coffee house.
Tyler began his professional career as a child in acting. At the age of 10, he landed the coveted role of Young Tommy in the cult musical Tommy at Toronto's Elgin Theatre. This was soon followed by a recurring role in the pre-school science show Guess What and co-hosting the highly successful television series Popular Mechanics For Kids for three years. Additional credits include principal and leading roles in Darcy's Wild Life, Missing, Prom Queen , The Elizabeth Smart Story, Goosebumps & Are You Afraid Of The Dark among others. Most recently you can find Tyler playing Spiederman on CTV's Instant Star which is viewed in over 160 countries around the world. This has helped Tyler establish a loyal fan base across North America & beyond who are rapidly discovering his evolving identity not only as an actor but an accomplished composer and musician.

Despite his continued success in the acting world, music has always been Tyler's deepest love. His magnetic personality combined with the passion he brings to his songs has already made an impact on the music scene. Moving to Toronto over two years ago to pursue his musical dreams, Tyler hooked up with renowned artist/ songwriter & producer James Bryan (Philosopher Kings, Prozzak) and his Prozzak partner Jay Levine which resulted in Tyler signing a production and management deal with Lefthook Entertainment in the US & UMI Entertainment on the Canadian side.
Tyler Kyte then fine-tuned his already accomplished song-writing abilities in the live forum with a series of heavily attended shows in Toronto venues such as The Reverb, Holy Joe's, Supermarket and The Rivoli. His captivating stage presence combined with breathtaking vocal ability resulted in a rapidly growing fan base and an undeniable buzz developing amongst industry and fans alike.
With over 100 000 views on his my space site and thousands of fans old & new now inquiring about obtaining his music Tyler felt it was now time to transfer his energy into recording his debut EP. The EP produced by Dave "Dwave" Thompson (Wave, Sony ATV) over the summer of 2006 captures the true essence of Tyler Kytes' artistry with a collection of beautiful, hook laden songs that gently pull on your heartstrings and won't let go. The single "What You Need" was immediately chosen for both the Instant Star soundtrack and a music video which is officially debuting in the US May 2007 to coincide with Tyler's character "Spiederman" launching a solo career on the hit TV Series. <p>
Memorable, captivating & well-crafted, Tyler Kyte's self titled debut is an instant classic destined to leave its mark on the Canadian music scene and beyond. <p>
