Inspired by the popular music of Tool, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and alot of classic rock, Tyler decided to teach himself how to play guitar. Today, five years later, he is the lead guitarist of Dissonance. He spends nearly all of his free time experimenting with unusual timing and writing his own music with Aaron Denney and Craig Keene. Now, he takes his inspirations and visions and turns them into music. Whatever he writes, he always challenges himself to play something different or he tests his own talent to make his music.
