Since first introducing Tyler Layne on this site last October, Tyler has been staying extremely busy in the recording studio and on stage.  His writing and composing skills, not to mention his amazing vocal ability has captured the attention of many, especially those who flock to his performances in and around the Chesapeake, Virginia area, and Norfolk, Hampton Roads fans where he attends school.

“I sing and write because I love it.  Any success I have is because I have people that believe in me.  If I can inspire someone to follow their dreams as a performing artist, then it’s worth the ride for me to do this,”   Tyler Layne

Along with working on his music, perfecting it to his liking, Tyler has done some acting and local morning television shows. This coming Thursday, he will appear on Wicked Attractions, on the Investigation Discovery Channel. The episode is called “Till Death Do Us Part” and airs at 7:00 p.m. EST.

Daniel started playing the piano when he was only six and even though his hands were quite small he picked up new songs very quickly.
