ABOUT AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Meet The Mastermind

Beginnings

Born August 12, 1997, Tyler Eston Williams came out fighting many sicknesses that kept him and his family in the hospital for his first year of life. Tyler grew up in Edmond, Oklahoma

with a caring and loving family that consisted of both parents

Fred and Brenda Williams and his brother, Christian Williams.

Tyler first recognized his musical potential at the young age of 10,

when he was required to play recorder for his elementary school.

After quickly picking up on reading and playing he begun composing small

works on the recorder thus creating an even bigger interest in music.

Tyler decided to join the band in middle school, continuing his education

in music, and in the 8th grade, after being inspired by a close friend, Hollis Taylor, to pick up

piano, he quickly gained a great love for the instrument.

A year later he had performed at his school's talent show performing " My Immortal " which was his first performance on the piano within less than 2 years of learning the instrument.

He continued growing his musical knowledge and capability all through high school

picking up various instruments.

Albums

Later on, in his sophomore year of high school he invested his first few paychecks in recording equipment, he studied production after school as well as releasing music. A year later he released his very first self-produced album in 2015 with 6 original piano songs titled, " Golden". He continued on and released his first full-length album consisting of 9 songs, again written and produced

by him, this time consisting of a multitude of different" movie soundtrack" type songs performed by him and his peers from school. This album was titled " Firefly". Shortly after the release of this album, Tyler and a lifelong friend, Isaiah Kephart decided to write and record a rap single titled "Blank", and years later during his sophomore year of college another single "Song For Sally" with friends Hagen Wano and Hollis Taylor.

College

After high school, he attended the University of

Central Oklahoma majoring in music and minoring in music production. He furthered his production skills outside of school by working on his own compositions and with friends and various small bands. Over the next 5 years, he had taken the instrumental skills he had achieved in high school and grew each and every one of them by taking private lessons and performing on various instruments in different bands and ensembles.

Amongst his studies, both academically and musically, Tyler decided to take his experience to a different level and break out of his comfort zone, by joining the Sigma Nu Fraternity in 2018. He knew this would grow his connections as well as his leadership and social skills.

Vocal Paralysis

While being able to play every instrument was quite a feat, He carried a major concern on his shoulders, his vocal cords.

When he was born one of the more devastating surgeries he had to undergo was the coarctation of his aorta. While in the process of solving the constriction, damage was inflicted on his left vocal fold, leaving him unable to speak properly for the beginning stages of his life. While he grew older this damage had become much more noticeable. Though he could speak, it was obvious that it was with a lack of strength, flexibility, and clarity. With constant questioning from peers, teachers, and co-workers he realized that his voice was abnormal, it was nothing like the others. In October of 2019, he and his family set up a scoping appointment to find out how this problem could be solved and the specifics of the damage, and a year later in 2020, he went into surgery to have a small implant in his vocals to correct and help strengthen the paralyzed vocal. Though small inflections of the paralyzation are there he continues to gain strength, range, and flexibility in his voice.
