Tyler Dean

21 year old Tyler Dean grew up in Hendersonville, Tennessee - just a stone's throw away from Nashville and Music Row. Music was close by - at all times. The son of Ronnie McDowell - he started his recording career early and has toured all over the country. His iPod contains a diverse group of songs and artists from Sam Cooke, Nat King Cole, and Ray Charles to the Black Keys, Garth Brooks, and Dierks Bentley. Tyler's passion for music pours out with each performance. "When I sing one of my songs, I know that it has the opportunity to become an anthem or theme song for someone's life right at that very moment. Music has the unique ability to do just that. That's what fuels my passion," says Tyler. Tyler has been developing his music under the guidance of Mike Curb. Mike is responsible for a long line of legendary performer's such as Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes and Wynonna to name just a few. Mike signed Tyler to Curb Records and is excited not only by his obvious musical talent but his passion and dedication. In 2010, his single "Taylor Swift" hit the airwaves causing quite a stir among young ladies throughout the county. Now after some time in the studio, he is back with followup single, "That Smile". Whether in the recording studio or performing on stage, Tyler knows he's a dreamer and is thrilled to be doing what he loves - his music, his way. Read more on Last.fm.
