Overview
Tyler Rich has spent most of his life surrounded by music. While the Yuba City native grew up listening to country with his mother in their small farming community in Northern California, his uncle instilled a passion for music. At every family party, Tyler’s Uncle Tim brought a guitar and played alongside his college friends.
The country singer-songwriter’s dream from a young age was to learn guitar and play with his uncle. By the time Tyler was 15, that dream came true, and he was “fully jamming with them” and began writing songs. After college, Tyler moved to Los Angeles and connected with songwriter-producer Darrell Brown (Keith Urban, LeAnn Rimes) and production and songwriting team The Monsters & Strangerz. For three months, he wrote songs, and The Monsters & Strangerz critiqued them.
“It was one of the most useful moments of my entire musical journey,” Tyler says of their mentorship.
