Tyler was born in 1994 in Kent and began learning the piano at the age of six.
He studied with Andrew Haigh at Kent Music Academy for three years before gaining a place to study at the Purcell School in September 2007 where he receives a scholarship from the Government’s Music and Dance Scheme and studies the piano with Tessa Nicholson.
Tyler has become a virtuoso pianist, who enjoys tackling some of the most demanding works.
He has performed Rachmaninov’s 2nd Sonata at Wigmore Hall, Scriabin’s 5th Sonata at the South Bank’s Purcell Room and as a result of winning the Senior Concerto Competition at the Purcell, he will play Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in spring next year
