♦ Was born and raised in the green mountain state. Loves Vermont and the New England area like no other place on the planet.
♦ Has dreams to one day travel the world, but is content in his own environment.
♦ Super friendly individual. He loves meeting people, talking to random strangers, just interaction in general. It's something he sorely enjoys.
♦ One of his longest term friends is Rian Sullivan, whom he met when she was living in Vermont. He puts her on a really high pedestal and absolutely adores that girl. What was originally thought of as a 'brotherly' sort of bond, it was basically discovered Tyler was in love with her but wouldn't say a word because of his view on relationships. But December 19th, 2009 changed that.
♦ Tyler has seemingly gotten over his relationship fears and woes. While vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Tyler nontraditional proposed to Rian during a romantic last night on vacation. He purchased her ring in New York City at a vintage jewelry shop the next day but the proposal itself came in Cabo. They were married in an intimate family/friend oriented ceremony in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 21st, 2010 before the closing show of the Glamrock Fairytale tour.
♦ Is the proud owner of a 2006 Dodge Charger which he pretty much adores.
♦ Comes from Greek, Italian, Irish and Finnish Decent. Very much a mutt.
♦ Has two pets that he adopted on 10/29/09. A 2 year old cat named Samosa and a 6 month old kitten named Squeaky. He adopted them from a shelter in West Chester.
♦ He cites Billy Idol, Paul Stanley and Steven Tyler as his biggest influences.
♦ He's a lover of all things rock and roll. From classic rock to hard rock of the now, if it kicks your ass he'll listen to it. He also loves electropop and anything 80s sounding.
♦ Accessorizes like a mother fucker and then some. He loves accessories, make up, eyeliner, leather, studs and chains. He dresses a very glam rock style and that's just his every day norm. It's who he is.
♦ Curses like a sailor on leave and doesn't really give two fucks about censorship.
♦ Started his interest in radio when he was seventeen and attending high school. Got an internship at 99.9 the Buzz in Burlington, Vermont. He was then hosting his own show on the buzz which was where his initial fame, if you will, got started.
♦ He worked for The Buzz from the time he was eighteen until just recently, when he bid his listeners a fond farewell and accepted a position with 102.9 WMGK in Philadelphia. He's had his side project station, Wild Side Radio, for the past two years and brings in huge numbers of listeners every single weekend. From live video chats, on location segments at shows, call ins, he makes his show as interactive as possible which has garnered major followings in the New England area specifically. His youtube page, twitter page, and myspace page all garner plenty of traffic as well due to the popularity of his online web show as well as his local shows.
♦ Is Christian in a manner of believing in a God. But mostly believes in the universe around him, astrology, karma, higher powers and such along that nature. He's not super religious though.
♦ Loves singing, and often will belt out random Queen, Kiss, Billy Idol, Aerosmith and David Bowie songs often just because he can. And because he truly believes he is fabulous enough to do so.
♦ Was a HUGE drama dork in school. He was in theater and drama from middle school clear up to graduation.
♦ Many question Tyler's sexuality but he's Übersexual (extremely metro), not homosexual, thank you kindly. But he has absolutely no issue with homosexuality. He's kissed guys, it just doesn't do anything for him.
♦ Loves using pet names and often calls his friends 'honey', 'sweetie', and things along that line.
♦ Extremely flirtatious. He flirts with lots of people, from his show callers to random friends, hell to complete strangers even. He's just a very fun and flirty type of personality.
♦ Is pretty much an open book. Will answer pretty much any question that's tossed at him just because he feels he has nothing to hide.
♦ In October 2009, he recorded a song for the "2012" soundtrack called "Time For Miracles". Tyler's always been a singer at heart but that's his first MAJOR exposure. His video for the single has reached "Most Watched" status on websites like youtube and MSN.com.
♦ November 7th was also the day one of his life-long dreams came true when he performed with one of his all-time favorite bands, Kiss, on the telethon hosted by Trapper Martin. Trapper set it up for him and Tyler was - and still is - completely humbled by the experience.
♦ November 10th, 2009 - Tyler signed a record deal with NYC/LA major label Seven Shot Records, owned by DJ Martin, after impressing DJ with an audition at the label as well as after seeing him perform on Trapper Martin's November 7th Telethon.
♦ Has been featured on a number of shows post the American Music Awards such as Ellen, The Tonight Show, Jay Leno, and The Early Show promoting his music. The appearances keep coming though, which is awesome by him and the band. The music has also been featured getting national airplay too (the first single "For Your Entertainment" has gone to #1 on itunes both song and video, as well as the second single, "Whataya Want From Me" which has gone to #1 on VH1 and MTV)
♦ His debut album, STRUT, is now in stores as of January 13th, 2010.
♦ His live/studio band consists of Mike Haven, Robbie Lane, Rizzo DeLuca and Adri Raton. He classifies them as his musical family and loves them all to absolute death.
♦ Adri also shares a house with Tyler, as does Rian, which is awesome to Tyler since he likes the idea of room mates for some reason.
♦ There's a ton more but you'll just have to get to know him or listen to his show to get the real him ;)
