About Me

Welcome funktastic myspace people.My name is Tyler and I intend to make your butt shake. I'm always working on new funky music to save the world from the doldrums of unfunky music. I've been studying recording arts and jazz guitar for the past few years, preparing to unleash an unstoppable barrage of music, intended to the rid the world of the unfunky doldrums. Be prepared. Listen to what I offer.In the meantime I play in Asheville's own afrobeat allstars, the Afromotive, which is no doubt coming soon to a town near you. I also play with Friends and Fiends, which could best be described as a "Southern Fried Rock and Soul Revue". I also busy myself recording music for other people, and I'm currently producing an EP for local Hardcore heroes Prayer before Gunfight. Check them out, for they rock balls.So what does this have to do with anything? Nothing really. Just let the music speak for itself.See you soon...a
