Country Music's Newest Talent, Tyler Blount, Releases Debut Single

With a rich tonal quality that is all her own and light undertones of Norah Jones, Tyler Blount is a rising country music star to keep your eye on. With the release of her debut single "Catch My Heart" http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/tylerblount2, she is starting down that road to success which actually began since she could talk.

Though Tyler was born in Pittsburg, her country music roots run from the Colorado Rockies, to Texas and on into Atlanta where she now lives. Her music career was influenced by several individuals who took the time to invest in her development. Henry Leck, the director of the Indianapolis Children’s choir, who instilled in Tyler that “it takes more than talent to make it in the music industry; it takes hard work, dedication and creativity", was one of those early influences.She was further influenced by her music teacher at Savannah Arts Academy where she attended high school. The most influential person however, was Ms Bradley, her voice teacher at Point University where she completed a degree in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy. Ms. Bradley encouraged her to broaden her horizons by working in various genres of music, as well as, performing in musicals to become more comfortable on stage and adding an extra push toward obtaining her goal.

Tyler first began performing for people other than her family at the age of nine at her family’s church. At eleven she joined the Indianapolis Children’s Choir where her first taste of being a vocal performer was born. Most recently, Tyler has performed in various musicals and given concerts at her alma mater, Point University, in West Point, Georgia. She has played at Southern Ground, which is a restaurant owned by Zac Brown and she has played numerous times for the Celebrity Roast at the Mel Blount Youth Home Fund Raiser in Pittsburg. She is performing at the Sweet Auburn Festival in Atlanta.

Though she has been singing all of her life, she only recently took up the guitar in a class at Point University. When someone asked her to write a song, she wrote “Catch My Heart”, which became her debut single. She has written a dozen more songs since and is working on a full length album. Tyler is also fluent in Spanish and has plans for recording some of her songs in Spanish as well.

Tyler also enjoys horseback riding with her grandpa and her family. She also has a big heart that is perfectly gifted for working with children. For her, music is more than just a career choice, it is something that she loves to do and a means of reaching out to others on a deeper level.

Some of her favorite artists are: The Band Perry, Miranda Lambert, Adele, John Mayer, Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood. She is most influenced by Miranda Lambert, Adele and Martina McBride, but loves exploring the many different flavors of the world of music.
